Calling it now. YM wins.


Seriously though, it really sucks I'm on vacation during this. I would have totally done Spires and Bridges 2.0. Would have been such badassery.

What, Hour 34 now? Not sure. Here's what I've got so far:

That intel isn't gonna steal itself TPG.

 

[MangyCarface]

ctf is the best gamemode.

though, thanks to 2f2f testing suggestions, i am now calling this gamemode "capture some flags" instead of "capture the flag"

Half way there, guys. I know I'm learning a shit-ton more doing this, even if it's killed my social life temporarily.

Could I get a clarification on the rules, Muffin? You say "Any amount of detail is allowed" but does that mean that the quality of detailing and aesthetics will factor into the score for each map, so detailing well would make your map more likely to win? Or does that simply mean that we can detail as much or as little as we want and the map will still be judged regardless of aesthetics and only on gameplay?

I think everyone is going to vote differently. some prefer a nicely detailed map, others will prefer a solid gameplay. I guess it's your job to know your audience and map accordingly.

Finally I've managed to move it from 3dsmax into TF2, with lods and collision mesh in place. The fire torch on the back works perfectly.
I estimate I've lost about 9-10 hours to this model alone, time I could've used in hammer

Now I gotta make track models and some pl capturepoints. But those should be easier.


EDIT: Note, that with planning it could look a lot better, right now I'm just using whatever because it's faster... If I had time I'd restyle the whole thing to be a little bulkier.

TF2 needs more ctf. Don't question it.

EDIT: 72 contest test entry Let's kick this pig.

 

[Hanz]

I won't be able to detail my map because I probably can't map a lot tomorrow. But here is my 5CP map, the layout is done:

This contest made me realise just how lazy I usually am.
72 hours is a ton of time when you sit down and map.

 

[Psy]

Man, I'm so far behind and feeling really burned out.
