Total 2fort overhauling.

As far as i know, the game mode of the next contest is already set, but we will only know it when it starts

And believe me, 5cp isnt that easy to balance, i have already nearly 10 versions of demolition tested, and its still not finished (though it was my first really planned map).

There is already a community project like you mentioned, must be somewhere in the forum.

really? What is it?
Im gona start making a map RIGHT NOW!

Just plain old CTF map contest.

Actually do-able for people with tight schedules and it even ahs the chance to be played by the non mappers community/ more likely to be endorsed by valave.

IMO it was a bit foolish having the A/D CTF contest, all those people put so much work into maps that most likely won't even be played again.

There is more to mapping than just trying to get an endorsement :/

It was most certainly not a waste of time nor effort.

I wasn't going to comment on this...but I can't resist, dismissing so many good maps at once, while endorsing standard ctf is too irritating.

Guess what maps don't get played? Plain old ctf maps, doesn't that make your point about the contest...rather redundant? I honestly can't think of any plain ctf maps that are in the rotation of the 6 custom map servers I have added. Yet they all seem to have several of the contest entries running.

Is the next contest modeling?
If it is, can the one after than be either a dusbowl style 3 stage one, or maybe a 3 CP gravelpit?

Those are amazing gamemodes, and the ones out there dont do them true justice.

 

[jpr]

We just had an A/D (and plr) contest, something different next time please

 

[zpqrei]

We've got (like Boojum I believe has said before) the next contest sorted. Don't worry about that, but what should we do after that?

 

[Acumen]

how should people know what to do afterwards, when they don't know how the next one will be

or did i (probably) miss something ?

 

[gamemaster1996]

Well i wouldn't advise moddelling as many people can't model, and i wouldn't advise texturing becuase it's a bit too easy-ish. So it'd probably ahve to be a forum related thing, a map, or a prefab.

After the next big one, I say we have an Arena/Koth Contest. Like, you have the choice of either Koth or Arena.

 

[Nutomic]

They said the nect contest will be something smaller, and easier to set up. SO maybe the next contest will be arena arena or koth?

 

[Fraz]

Easier to set up might be something like a straight cp map, or a GP cp map. They all have tried and tested entity setups, and are less likely to have a bug in them.

 

[lana]

KOTH and Arena aren't that hard to set up.

 

[The Political Gamer]

You could use ABS' stuff.

 

[A Boojum Snark]

Yeah but people still manage to mess things up.

/grumble

 

[Tinker]

KOTH and Arena are, however, the most abundant customs because they're so small and relatively easy to make.

I'd suggest a one-stage attack/defend CP map, like Gravelpit - but also like Steel.

+1
I would love to see a Gravelpit style map contest. Even a steel style one! I really like both of those styles, and would love to see some more added to the repertoire of them!

On the other hand, I would also like a KoTH contest... Not as much as a "Single stage A/D CP map" one though.

Ya no what, scrap that. I WANT A GRAVELPIT STYLE CONTEST!
