Fastlane is one of my favourite maps. Not sure what it is about it that I like though.

I personally thing Foundry is just a new fastlane, and that fast lane should be "retired."

my thoughts exactly.

Hell, if gorge is new dustbowl
doublecross is new 2fort
and thundermountain is new goldrush

maybe we can see a new hydro? :/

bumping this with some pl maps which I think had some great potential:

Clifftop, Volcanic and Frostfell need to be finished because they are all fantastic and were among my favorites from the dpl contest.

I'd love to see Menomena and Highrise finished (HINT HINT

Strata and Brazil are both great, but afaik YM is busy with things and yyler has slipped into an alternate dimension from which there is no escape.

Also I have a raging hardon for Cedarfall and want it to be done now.

I say, lets do some casual play with those maps later. They where pretty good.

I really don't know about koth_occult man, I lost the vmf and decompiled displacements are atrocious to work with.

Do you have the vmx or did you also loose both?

I can try to finish brazil, even if i'm really out of time atm, but i'm on a good wave so maybe it will be quick to detail it.

CP_Zinkenite was pretty cool, and I was surprised to find that it wasn't already on the map showcase. The thread hasn't updated in almst a year, and I'd really like to see it finished.

I think Rexy abandoned it because an SDK update randomly reduced the brush limit, and he could no longer compile updates to the map.

I thought he abandoned it because it was a (self-admitted) mess, he planned to rework it, but then got a job where he's actually paid to do what he was doing here. Which, i don't blame him.

Zinkenite works and is a good map (IMO) but as grazr said, it pushes the boundaries of what Source can handle. Also, it's Goddamn huge - at 176MB it's the single largest map in my maps folder. Nobody wants to download that for a couple small changes.

I guess my thought process was "Zinkenite sure looks like Showcase material, the fact that it's not there must mean it's not finished", but if the map is legitimately below Map Showcase standards and I didn't realize it, then never mind.

Being in Map Showcase is mostly up to the author. Of course, if someone wants to put a clearly unfinished/undeserving map there, the staff have the right to refuse. I think that if asked, Rexy would allow us to move Zinkenite into Showcase; he just isn't active here anymore and never really asked to have it moved.
