We need to limit the number in the rotation to 10 - as these are the 10 candidate maps for the Playstuff WIP_CTF Tourney that we'll be running to encourage competitve teamplay on these 'designed for 6v6' maps.



*note to mappers -
1) There is one final map, not released yet, which is being made by Boylee. This will replace 1 of the above maps. Testing and development activity will decide which one.
2) This list has been compiled pretty much on a first come first served basis after a brief run around your maps - in other words, those who have advanced their alpha release to a decent level - and shown signs of having 'staying power' - ie actually finishing it We had a limit of 10 maps - so there was, at this stage, no better way.

Could we request information like how long it took to cap the intel and stuff like that?

Dunno how you are measuring that, since most of those authors have never finished a map
(just stating a fact guys, not being mean, I never have either)

lol - yeah, it's a tough one. I suppose it's names i've seen actively developing maps and sticking with them ; mixed with people I have no idea about - at this stage it was fairly simple since the other entries are not quite as far in. It's possible i've missed one or two though - point em out if so - there's so many new maps here these days my old brain struggles to keep up In reality I guess it will simply be this - if you keep updating and actively developing your map, and it's in the rotation, it's likely to stay there.

Source TV will auto demo all the matches - and i will post them up for download.....and I'm sure the peeps testing will give lots of feedback too We will be encouraging them all too - plus we can 'force' a vote on all players, to rate a map. We won't do this unless requested to by the mapper though.
