zahlenbechk Superhuman Mediocrity	I plan on making the head; I was just jamming in some of the other setting to see if I could make a map like this work. The head will be very tricky though. I also plan to put a lot of scaffolds and platforms on the monument to give the in construction look, and also give the players some interesting area to play in.

zahlenbechk Superhuman Mediocrity	Looking pretty generic at the moment, keep on adding stuff; it'll look better by the minute. SPHINX UPDATE: I got most of the background in roughly. All I have to do now is take and attempt at making a head, and polish it up to make it look nice. Crap. the picture is all squishy again. Click on it to see it properly. Edited by: zahlenbechk

Staminix	Hmmm...was the Sphinx not made out of stone? Nope, nope. Though it was made out of blocks, but nevermind, I was wrong.
zahlenbechk Superhuman Mediocrity	Dec 25 2008, 1:51am Anchor
zahlenbechk Superhuman Mediocrity	Blocks cut from stone. The [real] sphinx may look exceptionally blocky now, but I'm pretty sure it was chiseled down very nicely when It was made. Yeah I know the texture is not 100% right, but that was the option I could fathom. This is supposed to look half finished; hence the scaffolds ans supports on it for the workers to chisel away.

Snipergen Lvl Designer/Env Artist	It's a LEVEL DESIGN contest guys, not recreate stuff that has already been made :p (I'm talking to the dudes that make dust2 or cod4maps etc...) Let's see some original designs! I like the sphinx though but its really sniper friendly :p (Oh I don't mind that btw >:D) Edited by: Snipergen

Otreum	SniperGen, look at the 3 categories, one of them is to recreate favourite maps or areas from pastime gaming (aka the Nostalgia category) meaning that we do have to remake old game levels or something that reminds people of old past time games etc. Personally, I don't think that anything that was released in the past 5 years or so has that nostalgic stigma attached to it, hence why I went with good old Super Mario 64, hell I even remade pacman just for kicks There are quite a few original designs in the WHAT THE!? category, take a look at the addons
zahlenbechk Superhuman Mediocrity	Dec 25 2008, 5:43am Anchor
zahlenbechk Superhuman Mediocrity	Thanks spipergen. I personally don't understand the 'What the' category fully. I assume that given the title they [the judges] try to choose the wackiest candidate, but they also restrict their decisions based on the little criteria to meet thing they have happening there. It seems like the two could conflict. For instance Otreum's mega tank map; it is a really solid map, but it will most definitely get out 'what the'd' by some weaker opposition. Maybe I'm looking way too deep into this one... I got the story for my Sphinx map thought out: A group of African freedom fighters are sitting around a campfire relaxing, when out from behind a straw hut jumps the infamous Dr. Zietgenstein carrying a shiny weapon. He fires a ball of anti-matter from his xr3000 teleport gun, and the group are consumed and blasted through time. They wake up scattered around a semi constructed sphinx, something in them has changed. The trip through time caused them to go insane and viciously kill each other. Eventually there is a soul survivor who after coming to finds himself alone with all of his friends around him dead. "Dr. Zietgenstein"!!!! He screams. A spherical anomaly appears, the survivor lunges towards it blasting him back through hyperspace and into the present. He then tracks down unsuspecting Dr. Zeitgenstein and crushes him with an Austin Martin DB7 [having gained superpowers from his trip through time and space]. He then becomes a bigamist and settles down with 113 women and lives happily ever after. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO SURVIVE? Edited by: zahlenbechk

f0u	I finished my Lava Giant map. Here is the Fort screenshot: It's a "Nostalgia" map (A remake of Unreal Tournament's Lava Giant) The only map I'll make for this award. The screenshot shows only a small part of the map, It's huge... You'll see when it gets its authorisation.

razorb Rail Meat	nice work for finishing such a big map avecess, just hope my computer can handle it heh --

zahlenbechk Superhuman Mediocrity	Wow 220 hours; you must really want to kill the people who work there. Looks fantastic, but it's not really a global landmark. Regardless, with that kind of effort I hope you win that category; that is far above and beyond the call of duty. EDIT: I guess I could squeeze into this post that my Giza map will probably be up tomorrow. Edited by: zahlenbechk

Otreum	Just wanted to ask something about maps like avecss's since it says it took 63 days and the competition only goes for 30, what are the rules for this. Personally it's not a huge bother to me since i'm not making much of an attempt to recreate any landmarks, however it would be interesting to see about this.
