Mapcore mapping contest?

good to know that you all like the idea of making a theme on any engine...

so I suggest not exactly a theme but a category - I would be very happy if the contest will be based on realism (no alien space themes like in some UT themes)

and the deadline... how about 1st week of october? I know that's a lot of time but we have vacations - give us a break from mapping

How about something with set width's but no height limit to get some vertical action going. Or perhaps a theme or "Art Reworked" where you take a well known (or not) piece of art and apply its theme and stuff to a map...cue millions of Salvador Dali-esque style pieces.

Keep in mind a lot of us do not have vacations though

Yeah I know and I think that I'm one of them too so the deadline should be anough late to get as much maps as possible...

btw. "Art Reworked" sounds great!

Quote from PogoP

I think we should have a themed map contest in which the goal is to create the best atmosphere in a map. That way, be it Unreal, Source, or whatever engine you like to use, you can show your own skills in that particular engine. I don't think the winner should be based on the map that looks the best, it should be the map that 'feels' the best, when played. The map that best portrays the theme of the contest.

Mind you, I like this idea, but in all honesty whoever uses Cryengine 2 will win this hands down

If the theme isn't "jungle island" I'd say whoever uses Cryengine 2 will be in trouble j/k

I'm up for another hl1 mapping madness

I think if the size-limit idéa and the use any engine you want ideá are combined maybe the size of the map could be limited in X player lengths instead of units. Just a thought. Don't think I have time anyway

HL1 DM with only stock content sounds awesome We should have some wierd rules to make it even more fun tho.

HL1 Blue Shift with stock content.

This thread is running circles around on infinite loops.
