couple cool Nightwatch weapons:

Oh stop wasting the poor guys bandwith!

Hahaha, freewebs. He deserves all he gets

I don't use that smiley lightly.

Oh stop wasting the poor guys bandwith!

Who stop wasting whos bandwidth!? I dont understand?

Hahaha, freewebs. He deserves all he gets

What does that mean? Did some posts get deleted or sumin?

Dude! That looks amazing! Are you a member of the team or are you just posting screenshots. loked for RacerX on the team but it wasn't there but you could be going under a different name...

Hehe I wish I could make maps like that. But, it looks like I'll be doing some voice acting for Nightwatch. This mod is gonna be SOOO much fun!

Well I certainly hope your voice overs are better than Todesangst.

this mod seems good

sum questions

is it hl2 graphics?
how people here are gonna attempt to work for them?
how come no1 here joins together to make brilliant maps like that?

is it hl2 graphics?

Have you actually visited their site? It says: Half-Life: Nightwatch. Not Half-Life 2: Nightwatch.

how people here are gonna attempt to work for them?

I highly doubt anyone here, including me, will work for them in the nearby future. As a mapper, texture artist, coder or modeller, that is. Voice actor might be easier to do.

how come no1 here joins together to make brilliant maps like that?

Some people have tried, some people do, but I think the guys here, including me, aren't at such an experience or skill level as the guys behind Nightwatch.

Sure, I could underestimate some people here, but keep in mind: this is a site focussed on helping beginners. Snarkpit for example is a place that holds much more experienced ones. Several Nightwatch team-members are Snarkpit members.

Sure it will. err.

If anyone on this site would be close to 'Nightwatch-level' it'd be kol.
I mean, some of these guys are professional level designers, we other just map as a fun hobby.

Yeah, I was thinking of kol.

shucks!



AAAwwwww!

rightttttttttttt

So, in order to get the skills, this little article may be of interest to some of you:

And it may be good to know that the Nightwatch team exists of... hobbyists. Only the former team leader is now a professional, and therefor inactive for Nightwatch. I might add that most of them have between 5 and 8 years of experience, although some probably have more or less.

Did that encourage you to continue?

floaters mods will blow this away

Zombie that was you. And btw not to make fun of floater, but that was HALARIOUS!!!

ho ho ho ho i dont get it :

The r_speeds must be not very pretty to look at, not to be a prick or anything. It looks good!

The r_speeds must be not very pretty to look at

Sure, Nightwatch raised the poly counts somewhat, but hey, most people nowadays have better computers than back in 1999... so 1200-1300 polygons for a good detailed room isn't bad. 1200-1300 polygons for a badly designed map is a different story though...

ho ho ho i really dont get it (but who makes crappy maps nowdays? i see okayish maps but not crappy maps)
