Reviewing shitty maps - should I continue? - Games

You should get some better screenshots - overview of entire areas and stuff like that. Other than that, these reviews are very good.

These are great.

Very nice. I hope to see many more map reviews by you :love:

Excellent reviews.

[QUOTE=theredstar;19155994]Gameplay: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7s6-0KlNoM[/media][/QUOTE] This would be informative if whoever was playing that pyro didn't suck balls. Seriously, why does he taunt when he's capturing? That's not necessary.

Do 2fort.

Do Cyberpunk!

[b]Knux_Pit_beta2[/b] [b]OVERVIEW[/b]: Back during TFC's heydey, map authors managed create a variety of different gametypes from what are essentially a handful of entities. While the entities aren't as varied in TF2, the map making community is trying their hand at making new game modes as well. Unfortunately for the map making community, nobody is playing maps nor gamemodes that don't have either "pl" or "orange" in them. After playing this abomination, I can see why no one is willing to try out new gamemodes. Your goal in this pile of dung is to grab a neutral flag that's at the bottom of the pit and bring it to your flag. What could've been a good map is completely ruined by a fucking retarded map design that should've never left paper. [b]ART[/b]: There are about 8 textures used in the entire map, including the sky box. No joke. The entire pit area consists of about three textures total. As an added bonus, the map maker decided to use a Half-Life 2 skybox, showing how utterly lazy he is. I guess In a bit of sanity, it seems the map maker put half-decent lighting. Based on the preview screenshots, I was expecting to have my eyes nuked by fullbright and repetetive textures, just like in ctf_pacman. Now, my eyes just hurt after seeing the same textures over and over. Progress. [b]MAP[/b]: You start off in the world's most underdetailed spawn room. It has about three textures, a weird misplaced wall and a lone resupply cabinet that looks like it needs to be put out of its misery. I tried blowing it up with the Direct Hit, but it managed to hang on. I guess the author's spite is keeping the poor resupply cabinet alive. [media]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/knux_pit_beta20005.png[/media] if you put your ear next to the monitor while looking at this picture you can hear uncontrollable sobbing The next room is the "pit" mentioned in the map's name. Its not really a pit as much as it is a giant block-shaped opening with a maze of thin walkway around the walls of the opening. At the bottom of this "pit" is a lone neutral flag. It seems the map maker forgot about a little thing called "sticky bombs" because I was able to land multiple stickies very close to the flag from my spawn room. This makes "defending" the flag ridiculously easy. In fact, the map pretty much turns into a deathmatch because nobody sane will ever grab the flag. I mean, who would ever want to grab the flag, knowing they'll be annihilated by a flurry of stickies, grenades and rockets as soon as they get close to it? [media]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/knux_pit_beta20000.png[/media] this is the entire map If, by some miracle, you grab the flag, you have to climb all the way back up. The walkways that lead up make no sense, have the same texture and are about as thin as an anorexic movie star. Thankfully there are no dead ends, but you'll still be wondering if you're going up half of the time because everything looks the same. There's also the enemy team you have to deal with, because undoubtedly they have found you climbing up the cliff with the flag on your back. Because the enemy team can see your side of the cliff as soon as they get out of their spawn room and you're trying to get to your base, your lifespan after grabbing the flag can be measured in seconds. Great idea map maker. [media]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/knux_pit_beta20004.png[/media] this is the only time you'll ever see the flag not have a million sticky bombs near it The "Capture Point" is located in your base, but the author felt that actually marking where the flag goes is extending too much effort, so hope to God that the guy that has the flag is paying attention to the arrow on the bottom of the screen. If not, expect to find the flag carrier doing something like running to the enemy team's spawn room with the flag in tow. [media]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/knux_pit_beta20008.png[/media] i wasn't kidding when i said that you could launch stickybombs to the bottom of the pit from the spawn room [b]FUN[/b]: In the readme, the author suggested that "Best played with instant respawn and >3 captures to win.' If you have to have mods running in order to make your lemon of a map fun, that says wonders about how unfun it is. [b]SHINING MOMENT[/b]: Seeing that the "pit" consisted of about four textures total, and half of them are on the very bottom of the "pit". [b]FINAL WORDS[/b]: Playing this wants me to bury the map maker alive in a pit. [b]0 OUT OF 5 STARS[/b]

Doesn't seem that bad, just seems like it would be a clusterfuck. I kinda wanna try it though.

That map concept could easily be fixed by bigger map and tunnels.

Wtf does KNUX mean or stand for?

[QUOTE=treythepunkid;19169670]Wtf does KNUX mean or stand for?[/QUOTE] At first I thought it was a reference to Knuckles from the Sonic games, but then I realized that 99% of Sonic fans either hate FPS games or are too busy molesting their sister's newborn child to create a video game map.

Seems better than some of the other abominations. But, still it makes hoodoo look fun.

Review Mario_kart.

[QUOTE=Political Gamer;19173294]It was a pera-ban.[/QUOTE] Oh. I still haven't figured out why...

Did a little searching around, looks like it was a TF2 clan. A very bad clan. [url]http://league.totalgamingnetwork.com/team/KNUX[/url] I guess I was kinda right with the KKK guess?

Well what about cp_desperado?

Mario_kart at least deserves a mention, it's one of the most widely-played shitmaps on TF2.
