Func_Msgboard: Speedmap Pack #70

Posted by - on 2004/02/29 14:40:16

Speedmap #70 is released! Oh joy, oh rapture!

This week is the beginning of our second Megatheme, A tribute to Headshot. Each week we'll be using a texture set from his classic Deathmatch levels.

So... our theme for this week was Red Brick/Grey Brick maps! A popular theme from a better day of mapping. 5 authors mapped this week, Czg, Jacek, Preach, Zwiffle, and myself. Got a good mix of stuff this week, all SP except for CZG's, and Jacek's is out of theme.

Enjoy!

Did I Miss Something?

I saw one of the rare instances of a scrag flying through a wall in sm70_preach.

Good Pack

1) Zwiffle
2) scampie
3) Jacek
4) Preach

I'm not counting czg because I didn't get to play it with proper opponents yet, but it looks good.

scampie's would have been 1st rated but it ran like a 90 year old woman through a swamp on my computer.

I Second That

Very nice maps, especially Preach's and Zwiffle's maps were great-looking and fun to play. Jacek's was a bit brutal and off-theme but still nice.

Again, please consider adding the "-tjunc" option to the qbsp stage to get rid of unnecessary sparkles if using older compilers (e.g. DuBSP).

Looking forward to next themed SM.

Argh, Tags Galore

IMHO Preach's was the strongest, nicely developed around a small central area. Scampie's was fun, and that ambush from behind nailed me dead twice before I realized what was going on. Jacek is showing tremendious improvement as a mapper, good use of texturing here. I played CZG's with a Reaper -- I like how the rocket jump connects from two locations, it has given me a secret location idea on my next map. Zwiffles . . . well, it had a certain scat porn ambiance . . . I mean the title of course, but hard brutal play which in a short map like this is a good thing.

One complaint that applies to them all except Preach's, too damn dark.

Liked them all though and I hope I have my Friday night or Saturday adternoon freed up to join in next week.
