Frontier a1 would be cool. Maybe than that hp and ammo on A wont be sunk into the ground.

Here's cp_sunshine_a1

How about "Motivational Mapping Night," because we can see how shit some early alphas were and motivate people to improve?

Also, why not play both the final map and the original map so we can see how they compare?

Here's Suijin's a1 bsp

Throwing this out there: couple the event with downloads of all the .vmf's of the maps played (as many as we can get permission to distribute). That would be absolutely fantastic.

 

[Davekillerish]

How about instead of playing alot of a1s why not do one or two rounds a version and watch the map progress to help us noobs.

Maybe have that be another kind of event, but I really like the A1 idea.

I remember some images of lakeside in its alpha stage. Unfortunately when steam changed its file host service, reverse-image-searching became impossible. There was a link to lakeside_a1 and it was really cool. If anyone can find it I think it would be nice to play on.

(Though I'm not sure much changed in terms of layout so its not a big deal.)

Ravidge posted a download link for pl_frontier_a1 in the Frontier Essay thread.

I remember we had an event where we played through every version of Petrol ever. Or at least the ones that any of us still had on hand. (I never throw out old maps, just archive them.)

This would be pretty cool actually.

Sorry, unrelated to this post, but would you mind if we ran the first version of Corrode? It looks awesome and, damn, five years is a long time for a map to be in development for. Surely a lot has changed in that time...

 

[Blade x64]

Cool idea. Only tested these on 2f2f back in the day, which I still have the dem files of.

pl_pier_a1 Forgot to add pickups in this one. Change to a2 if you want them, as that's the only change between the two.
pl_volcanic_a0

Oh, sure, of course. The first version is suitably awful so it should fit it right in. I'll have to see if I can find it, if not I definitely still have a vmf so I can recompile it.

I'll put a2 in the list if you want. I get that these maps won't exactly be refined, but it's one thing for a map to be badly designed and another for it to just be downright frustrating.

Anyway, I did a once-over on plr_nightfall_a1 and that

Oh, sure, of course. The first version is suitably awful so it should fit it right in. I'll have to see if I can find it, if not I definitely still have a vmf so I can recompile it.

Thanks in advance!

Here she is.

I got this from my old computer HD and I also have a bunch of early versions of maps tested back then like cp_borneo_a2 and cp_process_b1.

 

[iiboharz]

how about pl_tanker_a1 OR pl_tanker_72_a1 ? Both are equally terrible.

"popular maps"

Here's a better idea than being snide

Once we've amassed all the a1's people want to submit, we should vote on 5-6 to play as a gameday.

Before it was called Glassworks, the very first massively overscaled A1 I made for a 72hr contest. I completely remade it from scratch afterwards.

cp_crash_72_a1.

When you realize how completely unplayable it is and want the remade version that still sucks but is 200x better to play on, and is actually called Glassworks_a1, let me know.
