It's really more of the same. It's not Total Annihilation 2's massed mindless hordes of robots and hedonistic base tinkering, or Company of Heroes' "place this squad on this side of the stone wall and activate these seven abilities or you lose" micro-management.
You build a refinery to get tiberium, build power plants, amass a force for the push against the enemy base. It's hard to tell it's been 12 years since the original. Hell, the demo doesn't even have hills. Still, it's got Kane, FMVs with real actors, and the Brotherhood of NOD. I enjoyed playing the demo. It was good, wholesome C&C fun. If you're looking for an RTS revolution, look elsewhere (into the future), but if you're looking for a solid, fun game, this looks very promising.
Vote for the best Quake Singleplayer Map in 2006:
http://www.quaddicted.com/poll.php than did a bang up job with dm3rmx, but good fuck the Drew/Hrimfaxi winter competition map kicked ass!
Thanks for the votes whoever has voted for dm3rmx :)
I voted for the winter pack because Egypt was definitely my fave map of last year, although there were some other really good maps released too. Does that list really contain all the SP maps released last year? I could have sworn there were more. Maybe I played a few older maps too. than is disqualified because he didn't make an original map, only a remake...
i voted for dm3rmx nevertheless :| Although the screenshots of Warhammer online just look like WoW, I would have had to shake that guys hand after that little presentation.
Don't know if this has been posted before, but it's quite interesting. Check it out.

-The table cells are allowed to move inside the table (horizontally of course). So if there is a long mapname it will move the other cells a bit. -The screenshots are supposed to be displayed on the left side of the description. -The download links are not working. The contribute.html is not done. Shout if there is any information missing. Maybe I forgot about some thing people want. If someone has a good color to suggest for links (because of too much pink maybe), I might consider it. =) Same goes for the hearts. Maybe some small Quake-related symbol? in GreenBrowser/IE5.5, pages load fast. I assume the current non-pageable listings are just examples?
So your new plan is to strictly focus on making a really good level database with screenshots, downloads, etc? But without the database?
Sounds cool; personally I would use a PHP and MySQL but if static HTML works better for you, it's your decision as the guy doing all the work. get a theme worthy of quake! ;)
ok, at least get rid of the hearts. make them dots or q-runes or whatever. speedmapping does not deserve a category of its own (for i reckon only very few people actually play those maps) - maybe a subcategory at the appropriate position: s*. being able to arrange the entries specifically by title/author/date/rating would be nice of course, but it probably can't be done easily in html.. I cannot code PHP&MySQL and do not want to rely on a cms again. Also with plain HTML it is easier to work with other people as they don't need to login anywhere but just take the page, modify it and mail it to me. (The decision is made and fixed.)
Plus it is easy to provide an offline version. Sorting won't be available. It would be way too much work. But I will provide a csv file that can be imported in eg Excel, so you can sort yourself. ;) I did not want to mix "normal" maps with speedmaps and there are about 10% speedmaps so I think an own category is ok. About paging: It will be some extra work but I think I will have both an full listing and a paged version cut at 50 maps.
