I don't think it should be allowed for people to only vote for one thing, and nothing else. If you think about it, it really offsets the vote with people doing that, because it neglects any maps that might be in, say, second place from getting any points at all! I think the point system would be fine if you were required to vote for five and no less than five, but as it is it seems a bit unfair to me.

Srry is right.

But what, I mean, are we gonna redo the whole vote?

No, but you could require people who only voted for one thing to choose their other four. I think only Ghetto, World Crafter, and Mad Cow did it anyway.

Well, Im out then, my shitty memory sucks.

I have played most of these maps, but I have no memory of anyone except HLywood.
HLywood was special ;>

Crap. I've downloaded so much junk over the past 3 years I couldn't even begin to name some. I have probably downloaded about 30-50 mods and 400+ maps.

Then I'll add four more votes for you. No map votes from me. Only mods.

1. Timefall
2. Uplink Extended
3. Minimicus
4. Starwars
5. HLywood

Orb was insane, but it didn't leave a lasting impression.

Srry: You've got a point, though some people haven't played enough MV maps/mods to be able to choose 5 worthy of the award. Any vote is valuable and I don't think forcing others to spend lots of time searching for more quality stuff is a good idea, so unless more people find this unfair, the rule stays.
Sure, there's always laziness, but I'm sure at least most of our old-timers will manage remembering 5 of their favourites. ;)

Thanks to everyone who voted so far!

True. Still, even if you only vote for two or three things, it's better than one.

We should have a thread for the worst maps of 2003-2006. That'd be fun. :P
Posted 16 years ago2007-12-23 09:10:49 UTC Post #241799
So be it. Rules updated; When voting for Best of 2003-2006, you must choose at least 3 entries. Everyone, who voted for less than 3 ([m]Madcow, Espen, NineTnine, Ghetto[/m]) have to vote for at least another 2. For now - their given points are removed.

As for worst maps - heh, why not? Post away, maybe there'll be a review for the crap maps in the end too? ;>

Minimicus - Best mod I've ever ever played from here. No doubt about it.
Timefall - A little confusing, but a great mod nonetheless.
Life's end - Just a really good mod.

Well, finally finished choosing my 5 for Best Of '03-'06..
Life's End - An awesome and creative mod. Amazing for a one-developer creation. Definitely worth the cake.
De_spirits - The majestic large areas really impressed me. Even for a Source map.
Orb - Probably the most amazing HL ent setup to date.
De_vine - The legendary CS map. Looked awesome 3 years ago and still does now. ;P
HL:UE - Quality and well-executed mod bringing back the nicest memories. However - a remake and nothing to make you gasp too much either, imo.

Some maps/mods that were really close to appearing in my list..
Minimicus, Timefall - Legendary, amazing work back in the day, a bit lacking when you look at it now.
Lab17_quake - A very well-made HLDM map, interesting theme. This was very close, but not close enough.
Dm_poisongarden - Beautiful DM map. Nearly made it, but I turned it down in the end.
De_etape - Bbeautiful map, however, it didn't present anything new or spectacular either.
De_railstation - Very nice open map I really enjoyed playing. Lacking detail and too crate-filled sometimes, though.

i did pick three. Lifes End for number 1 and the other 2 were my maps.

Fine then!

1) Lifes End (just because) [number 1 vote, btw]
2) ... (You fail for voting for your own map. Read the goddamn rules, kid!)
3) In-Security (because i need something to fill number 3)

ok done!

You can't vote for your own maps you self important cunt. Even if you don't have the decency to obide by that yourself, it's one of the rules stated in the first post.

Posted 16 years ago2007-12-24 01:36:50 UTC Post #241833
Okay, based on what the current scores are then I will award the following:

1. Minimicus - I simply love mini-maps and the effects were cool
2. Uplink Extended (HL1 MOD) - This was a true HL mod, I haven't seen any mod that resembles HL so well.
3. Timefall - I didn't play Life's End but I really like Timefall, good storyline-map mesh even if I had to restart the mod a few times.

For maps:

1 .Orb (HL1 SP) - Simply impressive
2. Dm_poisongarden - Ingenious map, really breaks from the HL theme entirely.
3. Carbaseus (HLDM) - Still play this map regularly
4. Sydney Harbour Bridge (HL1 SP) - Even if it wasn't playable I still liked it.
5. Sunden (HLDM) - I liked this map but the weapon layout really ruined it for me.

NineTnine failed so bad... neither the shipment of fail, truck of fail, or fail train would be enough to express that fail.

Ummm...hlife_hotdog, you don't separate maps and mods. You just get five votes total, six if you count the vote for 2007's best.

Haha, I wouldn't have expected for Orb to actually get ahead of Life's End or Timefall when I first voted for it. That's just wrong. It's good, but not THAT good. :P

Okay, picked my 5 nominees for 2003-2006, here goes:

1. dm_poisongarden: The ambience, the mood, the lights, the textures...this map is still pure win for me.
2. Life's End: A very creative and funny mod, enjoyed it all the way through.
3. Orb: Great mapping and mind blowing sequences.
4. Star Wars: Again, great mapping with probably the most complex sequences evar.
5. Talking Scientists - Compo 9: One word review: LOL.

I tried to play Life's End about 5 minutes ago. but all that happened was I got an error saying something.dll couldn't be loaded and both Half-Life and Steam crashed.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I made sure to extract the pak0.pak into Steam-Half-Life-like folders before playing.
Posted 16 years ago2007-12-31 22:55:13 UTC Post #242183
That's funny, because I installed it just fine without doing anything to it. Just extracted it to my Half-Life folder, and it worked. I didn't extract the PAKs or anything.

Rowley asked me to vote for Best of, so here we go. I actually didn't remember much maps so I had to look through the map vault a bit, but oh well. It's funny to see all those old maps... man, it's been years since I released my first map...

Anyway:
1. Issues
Contains some pretty impressive stuff. Also some ok-ish stuff but that's ok I think. The good parts were simply awesome. If I remember correctly.
2. Half-Life: Uplink Extended
I may never have encouraged Muzzle to redo an already done map-pack, but he did it very well nonetheless. Kudos!
3. Carbaseus
I never actually played in this map but when I saw it, it's sheer size and style were pretty impressive.
4. dm_crete3
Pretty abstract texturing but neat architecture. Fairly fun to play in, too, except for a few connectivity issues. But the simple fact that I remember all that puts this one on the list.
5. Annopus
Just... nostalgia. One of the first maps I ever downloaded, and one of the few maps I've ever played in. Simple rocket-launcher fun.

I may have seen better stuff during those years but I simply can't remember. This'll have to do. :)

Strange, I was going to say the exact opposite. I played that mod and was totally unimpressed with the mapping and gameplay, so much that I gave up after the first couple maps.

MuzzleFlash: That was actually a pretty long time ago, and I doubt he'd still care about this place by now. You can email him yourself if you want, that's how I talked to him...but I'd wait for TWHL3 if you were going to do that.

Minimicus, while not being something spectacular to look at, did exactly what HL did, which was provide brilliantly functional and fun levels with an original concept.

As for Minimicus - it was quite an experience back in 2004, the effects, scripted stuff, everything would blow you away instantly. Now, it's just a nice lil' creation to remember. That's why I'll be switching de_vine with Minimicus in my list. It should really end up amongst my all-time favs.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the votes and compliments on my maps.
My votes are:
1 - Timefall...I was one of the beta testers for this one, so I got to watch it improve to the final version.
2 - Issues...nice teamwork there.
3 - Star Wars... going into the tie fighter was cool.
4 - I would vote for Andy's CS map, but I couldn't find it.

I did in fact finish Minimicus, but was not really highly impressed. Best I can say is that it was pretty inventive.
