Func_Msgboard: Favorite Map Names?

Posted by underworldfan on 2003/01/23 18:11:25

Map Names...are they important or totally irrelevant?

Anyway the real point is to list your favorite map names:

Off the top of my head (of course there are so many) here are some of my favorite (quake 1):

True Love Waits [zer1m6]
Push Underground [czg07b]
Bestial Devestation [Damaul6]
subgud [czg07a]

My faves, of the ones listed so far:

True Love Waits
Another Perfect Day

I like them because they sound nice, but also the irony is very good, i.e. your true love is the Nemesat, which playing the Zer character it probably would be =).

I like some of the dark and evile names but there are a bit blatant. Something a bit subtler is cooler. Numb Nimbus for example. Penile Devastation is cool as well. I don't like any of the "trying to be funny" names that nitin likes though.

I don't like any of the "trying to be funny" names that nitin likes though.

I agree with this, I like map titles that have something to do with the map, rather than just silly phrases a mapper came up with/barrowed from some source.

More Names...

For Id Names

I always thought "The Bad Place" had a certain understated charm.

Of The Id Titles

I always liked 'The Place of Two Deaths' which is the inspiration for my upcoming title, 'The Death of Two Places'.

Wait...

The Bad Place

"The Bad Place" is the name of a Dean Koontz novel published in 1994. I'm not sure that counts as a map name, even though it was used as a map.

I wonder if Koontz is aware that he inspired a whole sub-category of Quake map names.

I Wonder

if Koontz is aware that he inspired lava-jumping.

Spine, because its just so right.;
Abracadaver is one of the more clever names I've seen;

And the names Pretend Best Friend and Hell in a Can come to mind even though I can barely recall the actual maps!

Yeah That Was Than's Original Q2 Map
