Sounds to me like you should stick to the console version of the Orange Box....
Yes there are crappy maps out there, but as a "server admin" you have option of not hosting those "crappy maps". As for me, I welcome the custom maps provided they are entertaining and fun. Some of the best maps look like crap but play like hell.. Take the nipper maps for instance. No offense Nipper! I love his maps, even though most of them are the simplest looking maps out there. If they were to limit the maps and not allow custom content, I can see it as only a matter of time until the game dies of boredom. CS would not have lived as long as it has without the custom maps... A truely crappy map will not get much play and will weed itself out and fall to the wayside... .10 cents (inflation you know) Mike ParaDOX www.paradisesgarage.com -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marc Hörsken Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2007 2:40 PM To: Robert Whelan Subject: Re: [hlds] Please break custom maps that are using the EP2 engine It's my personal opinion, yes. But I am not only a server admin, I am also a player and I can see it at the horizon that it will end up like in CSS with many crappy custom maps. And the point of back ported textures makes it even more dramatic. As a player, I don't want to play on such maps, because it just does not fit the style. Valve wanted to keep the style and balance of the game as long as possible, so they should do it with maps, too.
