[QUOTE=GameDev;29534127]Sheesh, I was expecting at least more than two votes for Web and I's entry.. :smith:[/QUOTE]

To be fair I actually changed my mind 2 minutes later. I actually wanted to vote for Tacooo. Though your map isn't that bad it just that it doesn't really fit the theme imo.

It's a factory turned into a prison, hence the walls and fences :saddowns:

I'll add labels to the entries

Don't both factories and prisons have walls and fences? It's still a nice map though.

Usually factory's don't have barbed walls and watch towers as far as I'm concerned :v:

Why is a building underground? A giant yellow cave shouldn't have a building with a giant pipe-elevator in it.

ps you aren't suppose to get it, i didn't have time to make it really.

Your post with the images said building underground, so I put that..

Our overlord and saviour, Sphinxa will probably pick since he does the prizes.

I could probably host the threads, since [del]I like rigging the votes[/del] I like hosting em' for some reason

This just goes to show people vote for maps that are pretty poorly made. :c

Also I expected something good from Firegod because he talks so much about mapping, all his map is, is a bunch of blockshadow brushes.

EDIT: Apparently all it takes to win a content is a bunch of Ep2 Tree and some well placed tiles, maybe throw in some random ass hills. Isn't this about Renovating something broken to be re-purposed? Seems like people just had maps they were making or old maps and they wanted to enter them into the contest.

I partially agree, though no offense at all to Stupideye, what specifically makes his map special?

Soviet bunkers are original bro

So rather not the quality your voting for, it's the concept?

[Juniez]

to be honest Hawkeye and Menter's map is the only one that really stood out as "repurposed" v:v:v. The rest, as good-looking as they are, don't make that fact obvious enough.

I'd rather vote for something creative and not so pretty than unoriginal as fuck eye-candy

What's creative about a spam fest of props in a block, if we really want to talk about who had the most creative then hands down HawkEye and Menter had the most creative maps. I mean a fucking missile silo in a light house?! Jawesome, The french not being pussies and putting a mutha fucking lazor on thier monument? holy shit sticks batman.

None of these are eye-candy, My eyes are more molested than anything.

So apparently eye-candy and creativity [i]don't[/i] go hand in hand?

Creativity [b]is[/b] eye-candy bro

Beautiful, not very creative

Good to hear some criticism of my map, it's always better to hear what to improve on then to be told that your map is good even if it isn't.

I never said it was bad, though it looks like you could have added more detail on the walls. They seem pretty bland.

And people who say it's original, how many lighthouse missile silos have you seen? Why not vote for Hawkeye?

Which walls, and what would I add for detail?

This room, seems kinda empty. Adding boxes or some more lights on the walls would make it seem more occupied.
