|
|
Back yet again for another installment of KRG's Map of the Month! Wow, it sounds so exciting when I say it like that!
Here you go!
thirdworld
Author: Randy "Fumigator" Whitaker
Objective: King of the Hill
Type: CTF
Join one of four countries trying to steal
secrets from the CIA.
Start in parking garage of CIA headquarters.
Take your country's key, coded with highly
classified intelligence, up to the roof of
the building, where the transmitter awaits to
send the intel back to your country.
Once secured, hold transmitter at all costs!

This is a large map with tons of nooks, crannies, tunnels, vents, stairways, etc etc. There are many ways to get to the top so you are not stuck going the same route over and over again. 4 seperate teams all striving to get their key to the top and transmit their codes. Once you transmit, you have to hold control of the transmitter tower or the other teams will transmit their codes!
Excellent textures and attention to detail. The bathrooms house some nasty stuff for one example. It's an extremely different map from all the others I have seen in many ways. It is definitely worth a look IMHO.
You can find the map here: JMC's TF Mapzone

Well, I have been doing this for. . . . .well. . . a long time. I can't recall when I started doing it.
I do remember doing. .
Spaceball
Spacedout
TheKeep
Labrynth
your2small
rd_bankj
armageddon
minigolf2
bowlarama
basketball
Magic
Genome
Maya
Kitchen3
Renegade
Pharoahs
And more I am sure
I just find maps here and there. Sometimes they are brand new and sometimes they are "sleepers" that never got noticed. Either way, I have always said that more people should take the time to d-load and play custom maps. This has been my way of drumming support for custom maps.
I used to run playtest nights but now, we playtest them on US-V nights. Support for the "open" playtest nights dwindled and we had maybe 4 or 5 people to test the maps everytime. It just wasn't enough support for me to devote the time and energy to set them up.
I am happy you enjoy them Gala. That's what I do it for.
I will continue to do this every month until they stop making custom maps. . . . and that ain't going to happen! _________________ Recipient of POTM award

First, gala, let me ask you: How often would we pick monthly custom maps if it wasn't once a month?

Sounds good to me. _________________

Sounds good to me. | first off i think every villun trys for a custom map when we play or vote for our favorites.. and 2nd to that question some of the maps people vote for our not in the rotation and it makes it hard to find a good server for such and such a map
i just thought it be a nice idea for the villuns to have some comments on maps they like and to try and pm the admins in this and have them take a look at it .. well see yeah all in the fun and frag zone soon |

Here you go Dahak: Pharaohs
Gala, anything you can do to promote new maps is A+ in my book. If you come up with something along the lines of what you are suggesting, I would help you in a heart beat. Just say when.
New maps may not always be great but I definitely have fun trying them out. _________________ Recipient of POTM award

I also believe it would be a great idea, one day a month, to have a server dedicated to a new map. Ideally, it would always be the same server, the specific date would be clearly announced and the map would be available for download from TheVille website.
These monthly events could really dynamize TheVille and make sure that fun maps (like Acropolis2) that could deserve permanent status are not overlooked. Moreover this would also attract "novelty cravers" that could stay in the 'Ville community.
Since it would be one day a month, on one server only, I don't think the effects would be too great for general attendance.
Let's hear it ppl! Waddaya think? _________________
