Contest idea thread!
- Thread starter FaTony
- Start date
I would love to see another mini-detailing contest such as the control point contest. Last time we had that coldfront was born
Hey, I've got a map that could use some detail. Got 8 points (2 round A/D), but either people could pick one of them, or it could be an "only detail this one."

Hm, it's iron TPG says what he said. I actually was hoping for another gimmicky gametype, but I see the appeal of a standard one as well. My only request is that the next contest begins in the next month/month and a half or so, I'd love to get to work on it!
You could always use more A/D =3
That does seem to be one of the more popular game modes.
I personally like the idea that the map doesn't have to be symmetrical, symmetry in a map kinda ruins it for me.
Also, you should specify CAPTURE POINT A/D, because technically Payload is also a form of attack/defend, if not the way we know it (and I think it should specifically be capture point A/D, because if we include payload as an a/d option, it will become a gamemode-popularity contest instead of a mapping contest)
Also consider narrowing down which possibly attack/defend variants are open for use, because just like with payload, inclusion may turn it into a popularity contest of gamemodes, not maps.
Total options are...
MSCP
SSCP
A+B=C OR variants (A+B+C=D, etc.)
Assisted Control Points (like Steel, where you have one specific goal with helpful additions)
Misc/Other
(did I miss anything?)
I'm worried about MSCP in general, but I already voiced that concern elsewhere.
It would be feasible to group SSCP with A+B=C (and variants), as well as grouping Assisted Control Points with Misc/Other. Those at least seem to me like the best groupings, if we were going to do a generic "A/D Control Point" contest.

Multi Stage CP and Single Stage CP maybe? I don't know either..
My vote would be for single stage PL.. like Badwater.. or perhaps KOTH.
Dur, that's probably what it is.
(Yes, MSCP stands for Multi-stage Capture Point, SSCP stands for Single-stage Capture Point)
Forget item modeling, how about we do a prop modeling contest?
TF2maps.net is about mapping not collectable items (although I do have a nice collection of pencils, teddy bears, and loose candy...).
A couple of much-desired props would go a long way, no?

I think Polycount kinda exhausted the whole item modeling thing, but props would be cool. And very useful. It'd be a nice entry to modeling for me I think.
However, I must stress that I really want another major mapping contest. Like, full map. And I also need to stress how much I'd like to see one where you don't get bored of playing the same gametype over and over every single gameday.

I this was kinda addressed by the PLR vs. A/D CTf contest. With 2 game modes to play with things did not get boring until very late in the contest because of the extensions.
In other words if were to to have say Dustbowl vs. Gold rush (3 stage cp vs. 3 stage pl) I think people would be less bored.
