Yeah, these look great, but that's not what makes a deathmatch map. I can see in Powerhouse that there are too many little details, like railings, that get in the way of the action when you're dealing with any kind of non-hitscan weapons. If they're judging in all of these maps is based on aesthetics, then I have little hope for HL2DM ever getting off the ground.

The winning map, dm_underpass, doesn't exactly look all that exciting from the screenshot. It could pass as any of the early HL2 SP levels. Which although great, are old hat.

dm_avalon looks cool though.

I wonder how many of these guys now have interviews lined up at Valve. :)

They all look pretty damn sexy, that's certainly true. Look forward to having a run-around on them.

There is some really awesome variety there. I like the look of all of them. Powerhouse and avalon remind me of UT for some reason.
