I'm using the original textures, I think it's just the lighting, unmade shaders, and lack of correct cubemaps that make it look different.

If by recreating, you just mean the entire bsp, I want the original, I don't care who does/doesn't download it. If you mean adding things in and redoing textures like bungie did for tombstone, then I could do that.

Either way, after this, I am starting on the custom maps =p.
