Contest idea thread!

[Zwiffle]

The "No-Testing Map" contest - without testing the map (other than to run around in it yourself to test whether you set that one cap point up correctly), make a fully realized, fully functional map with focus on balanced, fun gameplay. Voters should decide, after the deadline has passed and after a full day or weekend of playing, which map was funnest and most balanced. Theoretical feedback based on screenshots only could be allowed, up to the rule maker's discretion I suppose.

Any game-type/theme? Or restricted to certain game-types/themes?

I know for a long time the people on the cp forums wanted to do this (but it never happened). Everyone gets a template of the exact same size with a city road running around the sides, forming a one block of the city. After the submissions are all in the blocks would all be put together in order to create one large city. just a thought.

What about a unique prop contest. We have alot of good modelers on the site give them a shot at something good

 

[Zwiffle]

Combine TC with KotH - make a TC-style map with a single capture point half way between each base, with normal KotH rules. Hopefully should cut down on the stalemates and tedious spamming-style gameplay of most TC maps by funneling it in between each base?

 

[Tom Hoen]

Combine Payload with ctf attack. Flag will spawn on the payload and you have to carry the intel in enemys cp. It would be like badwater basin combined with dustbowl. Only way to win would be by carrying flag in enemys last cp, so payload is only for moving flag spawn.

how about a best lighting contest?

make a vanilla room or area, inside or outside, and see what people can do to add dramatic lighting effects and whatnot. could be done in a relatively short amount of time, and could also bring forth some fresh uses of lighting.

I'd love to see a 5cp push contest. I don't like the game mode, so I'd love some maps to get me into the swing of things

Best non-traditional layout contest - come up with a very non-traditional style layout that plays well.

Suprisingly enough I was trying to make a working oil rig.

You know the huge pumps which go up and down and look like a big hammer.

I failed miserbaly due to inexpeirence but hey two opposing buisness would most likely fight for oil.

 

[Blue552]

I like that idea

I also like said Idea, like pimp my house, would be very fun.

 

[Nutomic]

Push-CP-Contest wold be nice, not only because I am currently making such a map, but also because there are not so much good 5 cp maps.

 

[Icarus]

+1 for 5CPs

/agree

 

[Garner]

Indeed, a 5cp contest would be good. The only 5cp maps that i liked are badlands, granary, yukon, well and fastlane from Valve/Community maps.

And 5cp custom maps, i only prefer freight, redstone and warpath_v3.

 

[ANova]

What about koth i like it alot

 

[Gerbil]

I would love to see another "new gamemode" competition. The a/d ctf maps were really fun for me and I would love to see such creativity in the next competition. Maybe even something like KotF (from what I saw Mangy already did something like this).

 

[The Political Gamer]

KoTF sounds like an interesting game mode to do. Ohhhhh we could have a CTF contest! All the maps use some CTF variant! Like A/D CTF, KoTF, PLCTF etc. That would be really cool.

/me flies past Nineaxis. :3

 

[A Boojum Snark]

I think we've already had the next contest decided since a few weeks (months?) ago. So while you can put in your ideas they might have to wait.

 

[Zwiffle]

Oooh what is it what is it. And if you can't tell us what it is, then can we know when we can know?
