I am currently working on my first map, trying to get the hang of creating rather complex shapes and everything. its nowhere near finished though, most of the textures are placeholders, too.

Yeah its pretty bad
My oldest map I could find is from 2002, made for the HL1 mod DragonmodZ.

What I feel? Shame.
And the urge to punch my brother for encouraging me to submit this in a contest. I never received an answer. :/
Well, I have my first map and I have my first [U]released[/U] map. I guess I will post both.
My first map was poorly done hl2dm map. It had few secrets, few traps and team spawns.
Rebel spawn

Catwalks. There is a crusher to kill losers down there.

Spinning blades. I was carving like no tomorrow.

Now a bit more pleasant map - My first released map!
It is called dm_NIHTCTS1_v1b100r_fix.
Now explaination: [B]N[/B]o [B]I[/B]dea [B]H[/B]ow [B]T[/B]o [B]C[/B]all [B]T[/B]his [B]S[/B]hit. NIHTCTS. Yes, there is over 100 versions done. Yes, last one needed fix.
This map uses loads of not-widely-known tricks with source engine, and advanced entitywork. Basically it is filled with killing devices.
Courtyard. You can see: 500 hp bonus, 1hp wand, zapper and sniper nest(top left corner).

THE STOOL OF DEATH(Red variation)! When thrown, starts exploding shortly, flying in unpredictable direction and killing whatever it touches. Great weapon to flush campers out of their holes.

THE STOOL OF DEATH(Blue variation)! Dissolves whoever it touches.

Not shown:
Static poorly done brushwork sniper rifle that works,

Magnet rollermine,
Combine ball turret,
Bunch of traps.

I was so proud of this back in the day. I even thought about making it a ame and sending it to Valve.
It's the Theatre of Pompey, Rome, if anyone was wondering.
Arrr it was a many a time ago. I was so proud that i made breakable glass that i had to show it to all me mateys.

I'm waiting for garry to show up and say "My first map? gm_flatgrass".

Who did he get to make gm_construct then?
i made a metal gimp dungeon with a shotgun and breakable metal crate
kinky as fuck
My first map that I can remember making was two rooms with an angled corridoor inbetween them. The map was a mess with the corridoor off grid and failed attempts at getting a prop_physics to work ( did manage to get the ithyosaur in the map though, which I was pleased about :smug: ).
Edit
Is it me or do those maps which only have the bricked pavment texture look really creepy after a while, especially the big rooms? Who has the patience to lay down so many bricks? Who?! :suicide:
My first map ever was for Counter-Strike back in the good old days, and it was awesome!
Super detailed broken light:

The very long door (I have no idea):

Another door frame making friends with the void:

You have to crouch to get in because the floor is a few units higher:

The big room:

With a trap ceiling:

As always you can open the glass "door" to get away:

There is also a "hidden" room with a bunch of button which triggers extremely lame things. I should probably get a video on this.
And of course everything is off grid:

And this is just something I started recently:
