I would like to ask all the FAT ASS motherforker mappers to STOP making HUGE maps with 3 humvee wide corridors. Go play aliens for a while and you will understand what am I talking about.
Thank you.

When I first saw this topic I was like WTF?! "They annected his account to post another get-rich-scam" *G*

Too bad this thread is less interesting than the actual product spam..

I would like to thank all the mappers for the good work with the large maps.

If anything, why not make a server mod that selects maps based on the number of players at the start of each game? I.e. ATCS if there are 4 players, Procyon if there are 40.

you didnt understand, did you?
I have NOTHING against big maps (Pulse FTW), I just HATE empty HUGE pointless corridors in them (atcs alpha and hundred more).

Errrrmmmm...... Goodness Gracious! You're right! I haven't quite got the hang of this whole reading thing yet :wink:

Anyway, in that case I'm in agreement - Large empty corridors and spaces are dull. Detailed corridors (such as those of nexus6, arachnid, pulse, etc..) add allot of "beef" to a map - imagine karith with plain flat walls. So to all mappers: forget the polycount and map with unlimited detail points!

WTF is wrong with ATCSALPHA? It's an awesome map, better than ATCS because of the longer and wider corridors.

ah, you mean nice wide corridors, so tyrants can actually dodge the human fire.

[techhead]

Please don't make the corridors skinnier than 2 tyrants wide, otherwise blocking will soon become a spectator sport.
And by spectators, I mean humans with chain-guns.

yes, all 17 of them tyrrants, all in humvees with pompons

Ok, so I have to make it more clear for some ppl :/


this is basically the whole map, one nice big parking lot for tyrrants in humvees


mm creative, lets park our tyrrant X-Wings there


and trucks there


~800 feet of open corridor with no place to hide


but hey, at least its tall, so tyrrants can fly up and hide there, not to mention that ordinary human model looks like a leprechaun next to the scelets on this map

Im talking about the scale. If you are fat (or american, which is kinda tautology by itselfe) you make everything bigger to accommodate your fat ass. You end up with ATCS-Alpha human base being able to fit ~20 tyrrants attacking at once, or ~20 BS-chain humans standing one next to each other and shooting same target.

The last two pictures shouldn't count.  It wasn't originally even intended for Tremulous (and plays horribly).  

As for the first two, meh.

I think I prefer 4 lane highway halls to the barely 1 tyrant wide halls anyways.

I agree with rasz. Most custom maps I've seen don't really addapt fine for Trem gameplay limitations. If not cause of failing to prevent jetpack abuse and/or egg spamming, cause of allowing unbreakable camping bases, or cause of not thinking enough architecture with a gameplay based point of view.

Too bad Rasz is dumb enough to posts pics of Marsbase.

And hamunaptra, a goddamn map made for dueling in q3, not trem. Get your facts straight rasz.
Wide is a tactical choice, too bad most mappers just suck at tactics. That's why people should fucking alpha before going into beta.

If anyone bothers to look at the map rotation section of the manual, then you would notice that you can indeed script that.

if you don't like those maps, then don't play it. Other people likes it you know
