[Hectic Glenn]

yay we got it at last, bit late though aint it

Checking these pics out now, looks quite nice.

edit: they spelt community wrong as 'communtiy' shame on them!

 

[Teta_Bonita]

huzzah!
so when's the release gonna be?

 

[pAiNtHeAsS]

When are they going to be released?

 

[trizzm]

after the delay.

 

[Ames]

You can already download them. Google.

 

[hool10]

Over the next few weeks it will be just as exciting to see the community playing full games that MOD developers are currently working on.

Huh? Is this in reference to the maps or even something greater like Day Of Defeat: Source? And there isn't a typo.

 

[Teta_Bonita]

You can already download them. Google.

Ya, but aren't the new maps gonna be like updated Valve-enhanced versions, or something? I'm sure Valve will do at least a little bit of tweaking.

They wouldn't be the communities if they were tweaked.

 

[Lincoln]

I wouldn't be suprised if Valve would go through and fix some bugs at least.

[hool10]

I can't believe you guys arn't going crazy over this statement:

I think this is Day Of Defeat: Source!

 

[WhiteZero]

You can download Beta versions, but not the real releases.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

DM_Avalon looks the best too me from those screens.

But I trust VALVe

 

[Sparta]

These maps look amazing

 

[Insano]

dm_avalon was posted on the local HL2 forum, a couple of months ago

 

[Quek]

that dm-avalon pic is beautiful. i could use it a sa wallpaper.

 

[Dr. Freeman]

looks like any of the three maps could have won...but theres sadly only one winner but anyway, wonderful work :thumbs:

I don't think this refers to DoD:Source, but instead to the variety of mods currently in development by the community... :upstare:

rock on

 

[joule]

dm_powerhouse looks the most appealing, and I hope it will play that way, too. Oh, I'm going to download all as I speak.

More like interesting how the winner is from the US.

 

[ratm9200]

Forgive me for asking but, do the winners get a physical prize or just honor and fame among the hl2 community?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

I'm not sure, but one prize they do get is their map changes hands to valve and its not yours anymore. Also you are prevented from making future maps/mods and stuff i heard from moonquake (made the revolters maps) which is why he didnt enter his. So rawk on!

 

[Ames]

$5000 for winnar.
$3000 for second and third places.

8. Valve Rights to Contest Entries. By accepting a prize, each winner grants Valve the royalty-free, fully-paid, worldwide, irrevocable, nonexclusive, perpetual right to exploit the intellectual property rights in the Contest Entry, including without limitation, at Valve’s option, distributing the Contest Entry to the public commercially or for free.

Only if they accept the prize.

edit: Teehee, I posted the news first out of all the fansites.

Imo this is the most exciting part of the news post. Suprised there hasnt been more comment on it. I doubt its DoD:S seems like theres still too much to do atm, i was hoping it would be dystopia, but that notion was confirmed wrong pretty quick.

Who could it be?

 

[zodiak]

Only if they accept the prize.

They would be crazy if they didn´t.
