A week ago I offered to host your maps on a server. For the whole of this week the following
eight levels will be available for you to play as you please on my new 20 slot server.
Tropiko's de_abysmal makes good use of different colours and sports a basic square layout,
with an extra bit in the middle which should vary things up a bit. This could be interesting
with large numbers of players. I have not been able to play op_getkilled
properly yet since the bots can't seem to find their way through the level. However,
humans can, so this is even more reason to try it out and give TheWelshGamer some feedback
on his low-lit urban map. de_outlaw contains two outdoor areas and an
interesting one-way system over the top of the building. The timings seem well tuned
and I've had a couple of great little firefights on this map. Give it a go.
de_atom has had a lot of effort put into it and seems almost finished. It has a large,
nicely detailed layout and looks like it could be a lot of fun. I guess you could describe
this as nuke, but with some interesting twists on seemingly familiar areas.
Eclipse Ruins is set in a dark, steamy jungle environment. The layout appears balanced and
I like the placement of the bombsite, though it may be a little too dark at the moment.
We'll see if Woona Eclipse, the author, will be changing anthing as the week progresses.
ar_Aztec_Rumble came as a surprise to me. I'm sure that anybody who's played a game
enough has had recurring dreams about it, and mine have always been set in a place JUST
LIKE THIS. The map encourages you to climb higher and the gameplay is fast-paced and
varied. Worth a go! I had the privilege of playing this very different
and original map with its author, Headbox. I won't bother describing this fun little
map, since a video probably demonstrates it better: I can see this map becoming popular.
ar_industry is another map that seems close to completion. You can battle it out across
different levels, ranging from a sewer section to a bridged walkway that reminds me of CSS's
compound map. This would be fun to play with large number of players.
Thank you for taking the time to look at these maps, and I hope to see you on the server
at some point. Please read the description of this video since it contains a lot of information
that isn't easy to put into video format.
