The only words I feel are appropriate here are: "I hope the mapper has better luck with their next effort."

Break it up. Heaven forbid you actually hurt each other's feelings. ;P Vamp... come on, man. This simply cannot be the best you can do. I've found some things I liked and some things I disliked during the 10 minutes spent playing this map; skilled deathmatch, 104 kills, 51 deaths, 20 suicides. Things I Liked -The lighting. I'm playing on a computer right next to a window that's driving me mad with glare. I can't play the darker maps on weekend mornings because of this and I kept this in mind while downloading your map. However, you seem to have a handle on the lighting and for that, I applaud you. -I don't know if this was intentional, but there are little ledges you can sit on inside each box, making for cheap, but also fun, kills. If it was intentional, good job. :P Things I Disliked -The layout of the rooms. I'd be strafing my merry way around and keep getting stuck so that I blew myself up with the rocket launcher. This wasn't so bad the first couple times, but it added up. If this was an online game, people would be bitching. I know if I presented this to my friends, they'd be bitching about their suicide count as well. It's not unforgivable, it just can't be forgiven. Know what I mean? ;) -Not to be anal, but the weapons/ammo are floating. I think you might even get a message about that after you Build All. -No health/armor? I know rockets are fast killers, but I made it around with 11 hp a good 20 sec really aching for a +5 vial. -Texture usage. Maybe you could add some grates and sort of make it a maze. That'd be good for annoying people, if nothing else. My Rating Concept: 0/10 This can't be the best you can do. It looks like you have a handle on the editor, but boxes and connecting them? Please. : Gameplay: 7/10 Very enjoyable, except for the parts where I spawned among 7 bots with rocket launchers pointed at me. Appearance: 2/10 The lighting got you a 2. Everything else is just... fleh. :( Replayability: 6/10 I'll play this many more times. Placed it in my rotation. :) 15/40 -> 3.5 If anyone thinks that rating is too high, don't bitch at me. I really took some time to figure it and I'm resolute in my decision. Not that I want you to, but if you leave Vamp, don't leave angry, just leave. :( Slainchild 09-19-2004 11:39 AM MDT Rating: 1   Well, i suppose it would appeal to those who like SG only matches...otherwise its pretty spammy. slaskan 09-19-2004 12:04 PM MDT Rating: 0   well not good for a first map hope u dont make another one if its going to the same time spent on building it ChromeBallz 09-19-2004 08:55 PM MDT Rating: 0.5   A cube only map doesn't get you far, trust me. Use what ut2k3 offers you, don't make a level which at it's base is even worse than any doom 1 level ever made. redfist, as i've explained earlier to another one's cube first map, you can't make any suggestions to improve it, since it's nothing to work with. You can make a cube and a playerstart in it, unlit, and play it - but you can't say a thing as to how to improve it, since that would make no sense. Same with this map. The visuals can't be improved, with all the textures in mesehs in the world. It stays a horribly flat map with a tremendously basic architecture, and fluffing up the walls, floors and ceilings won't change that. Same with the lay-out. In order to improve it, he would ahve to make an entirely new map. That's why people mostly advise new mappers to NOT release their first maps, because these are the things that represent those. They have to learn the editor, look at other (good) levels, and see how they can create their own style, and how to make a good map, both in visuals and gameplay. Vampyre, the only constructive criticism i can give you is that you should practice more and compare your work to other maps before releasing anything. Self-criticism is probably the most important part of mapping. Also, don't expect to make a good map within an hour. Take your time, try out things, let others play your levels and see how they like it (as in: not just your closest friends, as they probably don't want to give you negative feedback because "you might not like em anymore") CursedSoul1 09-20-2004 05:36 AM MDT   read tuts before you even think you made a map. you told us about the awesome botpathing.. like that was hard :p nehh, read some tuts, get to work. its easy, even you and anybody that wants to can do it :) btw, kantham you are using a new account as well, so... you get my drift. also altan was JOKING. read all posts ffs if you want to comment on another person :) it will take like... 2 minutes.:) redfist 09-22-2004 02:03 AM MDT   Man,you guys it's a 300k download,and you can see the screenshot,plus the map name.go at least a .5 And he said first map.man lend him a hand just a little?
