Next HL1 is a "map from base" one, so the Source one will start before it giving us time to setup the map.
Some of the ideas here are very interesting, but I cant just use the idea of a single member (except me, that is :D). If there's something you think will be a great compo, work hard on this one, win it and then propose it!

i like the idea of
and for a source compo, I really see a good one being one in which the goal is to make on of those huge machinces to do something very simple. a Rube Goldberg device or something
No one noticed what Asinth said, but, how about redoing the Black Mesa Inbound train scene. You dont have to make a modified clone of it, but a train ride would be a neat Idea... I liked all the goofy stuff you can see if you look closely.. I think this would make an excellent competition.but with the original train drop off point being the base of the map. so id still be a map from base.

The theme for the HL1 compo has been decided, but since I have to make the map, it'll start after the Source Compo.
Physics will be involved, but it wont be the main/only theme of the map. HL2 is more than physboxes.

Why don't you strive to WIN, and then YOU can decide the next compo

Sadly, I dont Map for Half-Life, nor have the time to devote to much mapping in general anymore.
I am a Full time Student/IT Guy/Boyfriend..
Sigh, I miss the innocent days of playing CS til the wee hours of the morning.

You guys seem to have more info on this competition than the person that makes the final decision
Some info: the HL1 compo is something that even less experienced mappers can work on, so the fight for the top positions will be really tight.
The Source compo involves an interesting theme and can result in huge maps of original design. Not your everyday hl2 map.

The problem, as I have mentioned earlier in the thread, is that the Source Compo will be ready as soon as I write the text, but the HL1 compo needs a base map. Maybe we can skip that somehow. I just think that it would be much easier at the time of comparing entries.

Base maps are sepposed to be as blocky and basic as possible, gives more room for originalty and the builder's imagination, it should only be the very basic layout of the level. So it should take you a very short time to make it.

The source compo will be up first.
Not all "map from base" competitions are the same, and this one isnt about filling a blocky map with detail. It's a bit different, so it will NOT take me a very short time. I also have to do a university project for Friday so it's not that easy.
The half-life 1 competition will probably end after Christmas. I'm sorry if you wanted to use Thanksgiving holidays to map... but I dont have any holidays until December 23rd...

Bratty, I don't think the HL competition is starting anytime soon. I think we're doing the Source one first, to give Kasperg time to work on a base map for the HL one.

Look forward to the Source compo, i'll hopefully enter this time if it makes sense :S

You mean the other compo made no sense? I think it did.
The next one will make sense, and I think it'll be fun.
