CoD4's prefab based maps work for people to create levels fairly easily but I dont see the same creative community that exists in css, tf2 and l4d.
BSP works, I'm happy with it, I get a lot of control with it. You choose the engine for the game, you want to make a crysis scale game then use the crytek engine. If something like TF2 is in mind then use source 2007. The misconception that source is the same engine it was 5 years ago bugs me. Valve have updated it loads and brought graphics, physics and gameplay to the next generation. TBH valve are a generation ahead of everyone else in terms of gameplay. Last time I checked insurgency looked pretty damn nice, at a par with cod4 IMO. 2009/7/23 Joel R. <joelru...@gmail.com>: > Hes an old schooler it does not matter > > back on topic > > Yes, there is much room for improvement in many areas.
