Parents Butthurt as Counter Strike Comes to Port Moody School - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Reimu;40000193]I love how the article writes about the map as if Valve themselves tried to develop a "Port Moody School" map, and enlisted students to do the mapping. It's so heavily implied it's hilarious. Also this looks like an awesome map. If only there wasn't so much public backlash for using schools and other institutions as Counter-Strike maps. [editline]22nd March 2013[/editline] Like imagine a bomb defusal mission in a school map. The T's would have to plant the bomb in the cafeteria kitchen where the school mystery meat is (when that shit blows, it's nuclear man)[/QUOTE] The university I go to have themselves created maps of the school in all bigger engines, Source, Unity etc.

[QUOTE=Sableye;40001829]my school destroyed the rainbow lockers the year before I went there anyway,[/QUOTE] What kind of fun Nazis ran your school?

I was tempted to make my school for Zombie Panic back when i was more into hammer Probably a good thing that I didn't :v:

My school forced me to recreate a part of my school. Now is the question for what game should it be made? Well fuck almost every FPS has at least one gun in it.

ITT: parents not understanding video games. [I]my automerge[/I], you've just made my list

Eh, most schools would make for terrible maps, since schools are just a bunch of corridors and boxy rooms (maybe an atrium if you're lucky)

And to see that violence that same senseless violence in our hallway, our rainbow-coloured hallway, it was devastating."[/quote] No, it isn't [i]devestating[/i]. You're watching video game characters cartoonishly bunny hop and shoot at each other in a completely virtual, nonexistent environment that kind of looks like someplace you know. For fuck's sake...

Plus... it'd be kickass if the area above the ceiling tiles was modeled too, and spaces so you could hide in the ceiling when crouching. Shoot out the tiles or something...

combine posters in a counter strike map of a real high school? why?

[QUOTE]Yes, some are also from EA sports trying to justify the violent video games that they create, although they are rarely paid and respected (get laid off lots) in their job, but they feel they have to be liked by their peers and support garbage because it would mean they will have a pay cheque and be around "buddies"[/QUOTE] Boy these comments sure hit the nail on the head, every time I go to shoot up a school I play some Madden 12 to pump myself up

where the fuck is the website for the map? i can't find it anywhere

Could be worse. The school could've been remade for a hyper-realism game a la Arma or SWAT 4. Or maybe PAYDAY. :v:

I kinda want to map my old secondary school now, i wonder if they're like this in the UK.

Now make a video recreating it in Minecraft and using TNT on it

[QUOTE]Thank you for publishing this article, CBC. I teach journalism in high school, and CBC can always be counted on to provide exemplars of sensational, misinformed, flame-baiting, or questionably-ethical news stories that I can share with my students. This one is being added to the pile.[/QUOTE]

old people failing to understand video games

I can understand why some people would call it distasteful in light of recent events but I hate how they always bring up the "VIDEOGAMES CAUSE REAL SHOOTINGS!" argument. If someone has the mind to kill people then they're going to do it anyway, not because their high school showed up as pixels in a game.

Omg! So real. Counterstrike is such a stimulation of real guns, like you really respawn and have to buy out of the air. Silly people, nobody cares if a school, real or not real based, gets blown up in an action movie but when you can interact, god forbid.

Whenever people talk about how video games are destroying society, I like to take their arguments nearly verbatim with some slight adjustments when needed, and then I close with "... And that is why I think that the printing press should be outlawed."

See this is why if I ever made a map of my school in some game I'd only distribute it to my classmates because my classmates know better than that shit.

[QUOTE=download;40000130]I always wanted to make my highschool into a CS map but I never got around to it[/QUOTE] We should mass release maps of our high schools for mass butthurt parents This would cause mass chaos, but not with the people that make the maps but with the people that are butthurt over the maps. We would have adults angrily trying to blame and prosecute someone. Some would eventually turn violent. Showing everyone that it isn't the games that make people violent, but the batshit insane and paranoid parents. [sp]Well that's how i hope it is going to turn out, because we all know that it won't be like[/sp] :v:

[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;40000110]That's pretty neat looking. Looks a bit cartoony though? When I make maps I tend to do areas I've been to. It's good practice. [editline]22nd March 2013[/editline] Also I recognize the music in the background of the video. Anyone know what it is?[/QUOTE] Its the Crysis 2 theme

Lol I love how the guy who helped make the map, who had attended the school, talked very level headed and clearly about what it is and that it's not to be scary and all that, and the secondary section of the article completely ignores the fact that he answered any of their questions.

Why are the news always focusing on violence in games, rather than the brain washing involved in magazines and young girls? I'm sure turning young girls and teenagers into mindless retards is more important than a few violent people?

Didn't some Australian kid get expelled from his school for doing exactly this years ago with CS 1.6?

This is the kind of article that makes me want to learn Hammer and get into the news.
