I'm sure you could search and find many more pictures.The idea sure fits the story of Half-life really well.A few Gas masks strewn about and radiation signs,abandoned trucks,buildings lots of map material there.What do you think? go for it you got the skills to pull it off well cs_pripyat

It looks good...
but where can I get gas-mask models?

Im in the mood of making urban maps, with abendond areas. So mayb if I have the right Tex's Ill be abke to put it all together. Slckiller will do It much better I know but yet

Is this realy how the place looks now?

and,
do you know this map where you need to climb a big mounten? I saw it but I dont know its name...

[SaL]

Yeah it's going to be contaminated for a long time the half-life for plutonium is 24,200 years.Pretty sad That radiation has entered into the gene pool of the people there.That's one of the worst possible outcomes imaginable

I think it would be best to make the models.That way they could be authentic Soviet model.How do models get made Slackiller I might as well learn that too huh

Is that mountain map de_volare?

You can get the gas mask from Opposing force.
Also a new game almost ready for release is set in Chernoybl.
Check out S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Shadow of Chernoybl
http://www.stalker-game.com/index_eng.html

It looks like it will have dynamic skyboxes, showing cloud movent , sun movement and even lightning storms. Its gonna be basically SP only though, some MP may come out but unlike Half-Life its not aiming for MP.
