The todays community mapping standard makes it super hard to get motivated to learn more. You have to master everything to compete. Modeling, texturing and mapping itself.

[@blessthewarden]

Good, weed out the average makers, promote the best

[@cylvonkoursfelt4742]

I get your reasoning but you've got to realise that this applies to everything, why workout if some genetically blessed people naturally have a better physique than you ever will? It is not a race nor is there a price for having the most knowledge of mapping in this case, have fun and I bet you have a creative mind to compensate for any other lacking skills!

[@Soklay16]

Yeah but you can always start, enter low level. Ask for advice and such. You're going to pick up a basketball or baseball and immediately play in the NBA or MLB are you? Even if you are good, things take time and practice, and who knows, you could put yourself out there and learn. Also there are plenty of maps that aren't professional looking but still play awesomely, like the defenestration maps. Seeing what other people can do actually inspires me to create what I have in my head, because I know it's possible.

[@stevethepocket]

@@blessthewarden Sure. And while we're at it, let's tell musicians that if they want to get recognized, they have to play every instrument themselves and handle every aspect of the production.

Hearing your view on Blahhh, is extremely intrigueing to me. Everyone I know views abstract maps as a homely place, something that feels cozy and fun to be in. Indeed, so do I. I don't know how to explain it, but abstract maps are like the source version of theme parks. There's cool stuff to see, there's music, and most importantly, there's fun. CS:GO maps, while visually impressive, never really give me this feeling anymore. (Except of course De_Eclectic, and Nipper's other upcoming CS:GO abstract maps.) It feels like while most of the mapping community has changed from joking around to serious business, Nipper never did. And I respect him for it. Nipper is my most favorite mapper of all time, and also, bring func_vehicle back valve. Sincerely, a guy that plays Counter Strike maps in Garry's Mod.

[@bendittschlag9611]

I have never seen blahhh but it seems like the creator took heavy inspiration from thief 1. there is a level in the game where you break into a mansion that is as abstract as his map. Highly recommend you check this out as it ticks all those boxes

[@swhipple]

Easily my favorite mapper too, it's not even close. The perfect word is surreal. The secrets in some, like that one room in zuhhh are distrubing... and intriguing!

[@callmeahh]

TF2 had a similar map creator, I can't remember their name at the moment but they were responsible for trade_abstract and a couple other maps in a similar vein. They are extremely fun to explore.

[@saltierdongs7760]

Blahhhh gahhhh and zuhhhh were some of the coolest maps to me

NIPPER is a map creator who I appreciate to my core. While I never got to play his maps online, I did manage to download most of them to play around with on Garry's mod. I'd spend hours just exploring them and enjoy their atmosphere. (Zuhhh is my personal favorite due to it hitting a sweet spot with aesthetics and unique mechanics) He's also the reason I'm addicted to Lemonhead and Friends Chewy candy because it was in one of his maps. (He actually liked the tweet I said that too, which further validated my addiction)

cs_suburbs creeps me out a bit, because I've known people who live in houses with the exact layout of the house in that map. I already know the map without playing it, lol.

Now you boot up csgo and the server browser is buried in the menu, the servers for these gamemodes a handfull of them. Nostalgia hits hard. And every gamemode had some interesting maps, easter eggs and more, almost every map had such character and depth. Sad innit.

[@cyancoyote7366]

"blahhh" feels like something you'd see after taking acid with 20 pills of Benadryl. Had a friend do that once (whom I had to babysit for the whole duration) and the crap he described fits exactly this aesthetic.

[@L1DER32]

I remember once, back in the days, I joined a CS:S server with a custom map, it was a long download, but it was worth it, as the map was gorgeous, beautiful juicy green jungle environment, custom foliage everywhere, and some concrete structures in the distance, then I noticed something familiar, something I saw on TV, I managed to get closer and, to my surprise, I saw "Dharma" logo from LOST. Then I noticed other players and bots started dying all of a sudden, so I peek from the corner and witness a giant black smoke cloud killing everything on it's way.!! After couple of seconds I was dead, but I was happy, overwhelmed with emotions as I realized It was a custom "LOST" map with tons of Easter eggs and locations to discover.

I remember walking around the good looking maps and trying to find easter eggs or new areas to play on, trying to get highscores when playing against bots on cs_assault..

There were a bunch of sittings with parents and teachers and the guy who made the map got suspended from our school.

We need this video for old beta and early retail maps. There were so many great random maps back then!
