Contest idea thread!

Payload Race Contest?

Payload Race Contest?

Yes, perhaps, I'd be game for it, but we'd all need to see how the map plays first!

Payload Race Contest?

How original .. But I have to agree with Rexy.

 

[HeaH]

Asymmetrical CTF or CP! Yes!

That would be a lot of fun in my opinion; the contest could just be to block out an asymmetrical map with dev textures, and the entries would be rated on balance.

I like this alot! Would be fun to see how balanced you can actually get things like that

Anyway, I would like to suggest a contest where you have to do something that makes it better to detail maps for the Alpine theme. Right now there's not really many things for detailing, only one ground texture and things like that. You could make a poster, a model, a prefab, anything. The entries would have to be useable, look good and fit into the alpine theme.

I like this idea. So I +1 it

I should wait a bit until the scout update comes out.. You don't know what they've got left for us, a new alpine themed map perhaps?

 

[Icarus]

Who knows... we still might get the rumored Third Community Map with it's fan-made gamemode

 

[Dustoxx]

Yeah.
Maybe something like a contest with the new gamemode?

The double payload looks desert-themed, so I think this is probably unlikely.

In which case, an alpine-themed modelling/texturing contest would be pretty nice.

 

[NovaSilisko]

I say the next contest should be the best central point for a symmetrical CP map.
Voted on detail/gameplay(maybe just detail)

 

[ProfFiendish]

Gameplay! Gameplay is more important!

But yeah, that's another good idea for a contest.

 

[Fearlezz]

hmm, maybe a full dual-mapping contest focusing only on detail, nothing more?

I'd have believed that it was Meridian until Shmitz came out with B4 and redid the temple. Particularly since the change to allow the forcing of CTF HUD in that one update that seemed like they did it just for him.

Regarding the thread, my favorite idea for a contest is currently small maps for 4-10 players for when servers are starting up or slowing down for the night, as discussed here

 

[ikem]

no i heard there will be always 3 community maps and 1 valve map (steam forums)

 

[Mar]

Competitive 5 cp push maps like Granary and badlands!

 

[zpqrei]

How about Tag-Team mapping? Group up into 2s or 3s and make a map (pl, cp, tc - good luck! - gp, or atk-defend) ready for final in 2 months. What'dya think?

 

[Fraz]

Create an intel room, for gameplay. ie take everything bad said in the why do people hate ctf thread and try and combat that. The test will be against 2 or 3 camping engys against an uber, or 2.

 

[The Political Gamer]

I would like an odd map contest with maps (like mine) that go outside the "normal" way of doing maps. This would for maps that refuse to fallow a formula made by someone else.

 

[Bot190]

A contest where everyone gets a model or specific theme and you have to map around that theme, no restriction on game type just has to follow the theme or based around the model.

A Final Capture point contest would be good. It would be one team's base. Payload or Capture Point Style. Of course there still would be size requirements, one working spawn, the capture point/payload hole.
