Already a thread on this comrade. [url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=912801[/url]

Yes I'm late but anyway...

holy shit

It's not gonna look that good in motion and at high-resolutions. But it's still pretty impressive.

It seems like this guy is wasting hours doing extra work to make source look this nice rather than spend a fraction of the time doing it on like unreal. Is that true?

These maps are sex.

I think this is the only time I would crash because of graphical issues in a source game. :ohdear:

Everything looks too shiny though. Broke my automerge.

Can we get some source on this? I want to hear what they plan to release it etc. I remember playing the original.

holy fucking shit jizz me want those maps in Gmod now! Valve should just hire whoever made these maps

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;23042400]I remember playing the original.[/QUOTE] Me too, it was crap. Anyways those caves are sexy, i can't wait

[QUOTE=IWHeadHunter;23042477]Me too, it was crap.
