So, clearly you two are having some sort of Black Mesa Source contest. You been contracted to do some of the multiplayer maps for it or something?

I never would expect half life 3 to look like that... that area is perfect for antlions :D

And i created some custom icons for custom classes i created for my mvm map.

In more detail (yes, im not good at making such icons):

From left to right:
  • Jumping backburner pyro
    This is a faster moving backburner that jumps similar to the demoknights at 2.5x normal height. On a kill it crits for 3 seconds.
  • Kritzkrieg medic
    Has nearly infinite ubercharge and uses it instantly. Very weak against melee
  • Rocket rain soldier
    As the rocketshotgun name is already used on the health on hit soldier from valve i had to use a diffirent name. However, in this case it realy acts as a shotgun shooting 20 rockets at once.
  • Phlog pyro
    Name says it all, is similar to the fist of steel heavy in style (higher health and scale).

As i said, im not a good logo creator. So that was kinda the max i was able to get out of it. And although the phlog logo wont be visible that well, the icon still looks diffirent. I can still remember the valve icons not being clear enough at first (i wasnt able to recognise the yellow spot behind the crosshair as a jarate logo until i did see the bigger icon). You can see the icon in action on the previous page (where i had a mission overview).

Its mainly to distinguish the phlog from a regular one. Still, if you can create a better icon then that would be fine to me.

Yeah, when I was viewing it on my smartphone earlier I didn't even see the phlog silhouette inside the flame, I thought it was just an L inside of a flame. Still recognizable, but a bit confusing. Maybe in that same sense you could just do a P inside the flame - so people go "P... Phlog..?" at least.

Phlog icon makes no sense whatsoever seeing it doesn't actually shoot flames.

I think its mainly the phlog icon being the problem on that. The jumping backburner has enough features to make it vary just enough.

It has an arrow inside it (represeting the faster speed).
And its tilted and has an arch to show its jumping.

The phlog only has a poorly visible phlog icon on it. For the testing phase its enough to make the icon vary and once you know what it is it is clearly visible. But its not good enough as final icon.
