dm_insomnia

this is a nighttime map, set up in a two floors structure with interconnected rooms.
the map is HDR and runs at an avrg 160-170 FSP on a hi-end rig. tested on a low-end it still ran sweet.
one mag. one rpg. lots of nades. 3 orbs and 3 smg nades.

i know is this like the caption contest, once a week map release by Valar

stretch

It looks really nice Valar. Ill have to come and check it out!

Yes he does make a lot of maps, but every one is very well thought out, and look spectacular. They are hardly thrown together just for the sake of producing a map. He also must have a lot of time on his hands or he has figured out some short cuts that allow him to produce maps quickly.

Are the only weps on the map the ones you mentioned? Looks nice but I like being able to use all weps.

wow really cool map plays great good job.But i couldnt find the rpg i found rog ammo but no rpg?

@ thatguy -RPG is on a high shelve right in front of the suit charger.
@ Epoch - All weapons are used except SLAMs.
@ Paradox - thank you.

I played it with a couple of people earlier. It is a very nice map and imo would be an excellent map for 1v1 or 2v2 competative.
Its a pretty good movement map as well. I was able to get almost 500 for speed on it while behopping, which for me is doing well.

I may add it to my server but put it in a list of maps that play only when there are less than 6 people on.
Now if you could expand it into something that would work for a 16 slot pub, I would add it to my main rotation.

One word for you Valar, word.

won't twice or thrice its size, given its all just rooms and rooms, be a bit tedious?

Maybe, I personally dont think so. People play maps that are just one big box with no walls at all for hours on end and wont play anything else.

This is true but at least in a big box you can see all of your enemies and always have something to shoot to keep you entertained. If it was just a huge labrynth of rooms any game with less than like 5 people would die in 5 minutes cause no one would be able to find each other. 16 slots is just too big of a server for hl2dm imo, any ffa with 16 peeps on any map is gonna be insanity.

Ever play Tobor with 16 people....I have....and yea its absolute insanity and people love it.

16 is probably a bit much for regular DM, but with team DM its fine. Before our CAL server was a CAL server it was a 12 slot regular DM and that was pretty good.
