Thanks to neg!ke I added a huge load of map descriptions to Quaddicted.com the last days:
http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=12
http://www.quaddicted.com/?p=13

Also I changed the listings to show all the maps. 

I'm glad to see this is progressing.

One criticism: I think it would be better if the map descriptions were just objective *descriptions* of what the map contains, and not opinions or reviews about the quality of the map.

Things like size of map, setting, texture theme, types of new monsters, engine compatability, coop support, etc. would be more useful than "This is a small, stupid map."

More on shacknews and the id website (and probably all over the net). Haven't found any videos though :( 

isn't this basically a new brand name for the "megatexture"-based engine carmack has been making for quake wars?

metl:
I agree, more information = better. I always try to include some bits of that information in the descriptions I do. It makes the whole process take longer though. Everyone can do the description as he/she likes. I don't like lenghty reviews (like Underworldfan's, Shambler's etc.) though, those won't be at Quaddicted.com.

The main goal at the moment (as I see it), is to get a first overview on all the maps. Like sorting out the crap, getting a timeline. The descriptions are not meant to be fixed. They are always open and ready to be changed. I am sure I will redo a lot of them in the end to make them more advertising for maps I like. But that's got lower priority than getting the first overview.

A small, stupid map won't get any longer description from me though. If someone else feels like doing it, then fine. :) 

It has finally been released:

In cases where you don't want to put a lot of info for some maps, that is cool, but please remove the useless opinion at least :) 

that id tech doesn't look that jaw-dropping... how is it different to ET:QW? That has megatexture does it not?

It's only low quality shots and video we've got but unreal 3 engine looks a lot better. I always trust in Carmack though, hopefully id will pull through soon and show us something amazing. 

Megatexture, as ETQW uses, only applies to the terrain. 1 huge texture on that.

What this new tech is doing is doing is making each object, including the terrain, static meshes, and presumably the characters, a unique texture. 

"megatexture" for all geometry in the scene in a more general way. 

Err? 

at least I doubt it because they did not announce it as such. I believe its just a demo/promo for potential Id Tech 5 clients.

... the eventual game

</pointless sarcastic devil's advocacy> :) 

appear on irc/aim plz kthx 

wow, impressive screens in the journey page. can't wait 'til it's released. 

no internets at fort johnson right now. apparently at&t can shut the service off when you cancel it at the press of a bhutan, but to turn the same service back on takes a week and an install fee.

on great unusual SP maps at SDA this week: http://speeddemosarchive.com/quake 

Didn't know they had so many runs of IMP1SP2 there. Very gratifying to see people put so much into playing one of those maps.
