HL2DM Map - dm_stockyard

[RCGodward]

I've been working on a map with a few people for a couple of weeks now, and we finally feel it's ready for public criticism. Take a look and give feedback if you wish.

The screen shots are pretty out of date, so don't just judge on them.

Judging from the screenshots, it looks like your have some nice ideas.

But...

The map looks huge, and very HL 1 like, there's no debris or objects to manipulate...
How many players is it for?
What scenario is it suppose to be in(Ravenholm like, city like, everything)?

With a little more consistency it could be a great map.

Please do not try to copy the HL1 maps in simplicity, HL2 has great posibilities.

HL1 maps and HL1 goes together.

HL2 maps needs objects(remember gravity gun) and more realism applied than HL1.

Anyways most important thing is that the map is fun playing and that no spots are to easy to keep occupied by camping.

Looks like a Kingpin map with those colored lights.

If your trying to go for a "real" stockyard look, remove the colored lights and make it more consitent to the name. It looks like you got a Night Club, a Ware House and Military Base all in one but nothing that really resembles a stockyard...

The garage looks like that one level in Max Payne 2 :p

There is more debris than in the screen shots. Lots of barrels and tires. The pics have been revised to show the latest version now. Stockyard was the name we picked the night we started, and we've just stuck with it. The biggest HL1 influence in the map is that we wanted to make sure that you couldn't just use the grav gun. You do have to get out a weapon to be sucessful. Thanks for your feedback so far! We will keep working and updating the site, so please check back.
