Hi there :3
I started playing Portal about 3 Months ago and I really love the game. Especially Portal2 Coop-Maps, why I registered here to leave comments for the maps I really enjoyed.
I want to try mapping in the near future too, so this site helps a lot.

Hey all!

I found this site by searching for custom maps and ended up playing some great ones, both single and co-op. Then I found this site again when I decided it was time to make my own maps. I've watched a ton of YouTube tutorials and did my share of reading.

But I'm not new to map making! I've made maps with pretty much any game that let me. Both Starcrafts, Warcrafts II and III, Stunts... as far back as the Incredible Machine (if anyone here knows that game).

Can't wait to release my first finished Portal 2 map! If I get that far, it's gonna be quality.

Hi! I discovered this website by mispelling the http://www.thinkwithportals.com website. Anyway, I think I'll never do it on Hammer, and I'm really on the 2nd Portal 2 DLC Map Creator!

Just to say hi!

I've lurked the forums here a bit looking for solutions to my mapping problems, and decided to join on a whim. Hopefully I'll stay a while, you guys have a nice community going on here.

Howdy All!

I've been a big fan of the Portal series since the source version first came out and I'm a big fan of Portal 2's co-op maps as I play them with my 9yo son.

Finally thought I'd go looking for some community maps and noticed your site here. I've checked out a few sites and so far this appears to be the best Portal mapping site that I've seen around so credit to everyone here!

Having the Community Roundup, with comments, is very handy as it allows me to easilly find the best maps out there(unlike other sites) so cheers for that. I've pulled down a bunch of maps already and look forward to checking them out soon!

I've done a shameless plug for ya on our UT3 mapping site so hopefully it'll bring some extra folk your way!
UoF Portal thread

Apart from the above I'm a wannabe UT3 mapper and have been mapping for a few years now and I'm eager for Valve to release the simplified Portal 2 mapping editor so I can have a dabble without having to learn Hammer. (or at least only require limited knowledge so I can tweak anything I attempt)
If ya have UT3 and are interested in my work you can find it here.

Hello!
I've been lurking around these forums for a couple months now. Since I've finished both single player and co-op for Portal 2, I've started playing some custom maps. Portal is definitely my favorite game (I'm not really a gamer, but Portal 2 is really the first kind of PC game I've gotten into). I downloaded the Portal 2 Authoring Tools and have played around a little (I'm kind of working on a map right now but I'm really bad at texturing).
I finally got around to registering so I can leave some feedback on the maps I play.

This looks like a nice community

Hello, I go by LyLy! My co-op partner and I love to play through maps we find here. There's been so many fun ones that we've downloaded and adore, so I figured that it's time to say Hello!

What's up everybody. I just signed up here, I've been messing with Portal 2 Hammer for a couple of months now, and the Valve dev wiki pointed me here. You guys seem pretty awesome so far (except for the weird like... detest of maps that don't strictly adhere to the Portal art style... so you guys will probably hate my map a lot).

I'm very well versed in Radiant (Quake/COD) but I'm still learning Hammer and way behind on that (I miss curves SO BAD!!!).

Anyway I'm a few weeks from my initial beta release of my first Hammer map, so I thought I should sign up and say HI!

Hello! I am Mick. I discovered this nice site a few days ago, and signed up today. I have already played some maps here. I have been working with the Hammer Editor for a few weeks and created three simple maps. I am working on a more difficult map which I upload maybe.
