Idea For A Death Match Map

johnnyjihadtaliban

I know nothing about map making, but I think a death match style map would be really cool.

Maybe a smaller map, where humans have all technological advances(or can get all the guns), where aliens have all 3 hives(or just where they can be onos right away if they want to).
No commander, just a closed of space with guns on the floor maybe, where aliens couldn't get to, and where humans can't enter once they leave(aliens would also have a similar area). Their would be the two rooms(the locked off ones) and a couple of battle fields)

Very ruff idea, but if it was done right I think it would be a lot of fun.

good god no, that just completely defeats the whole point of NS's tech tree/building joys

why not just make a CS map that's a giant box and fill it with AW/M's and M249's

Well I think that it would be good to have a map that you could play a quick game on and it be fun. NS will still be more fun but on a Lan with <4 people the maps are just SO big.

The way NS is played and the maps are constructed, a map like this wouldn't even work.

Thank god for that, though, at least we won't have to deal with "look at my amazing new map" and then be barraged with a vent2 box of pointless death.

On a more personal note... As a level designer who has to, despite all his self-criticism and self-hate, give himself credit for being able to create at least halfway decent maps, I'm honestly disgusted by the entire concept of DM maps for CS, DoD, and now NS. There, I said it, now off to do other things.

Ouch! Maybe its not such a good idea.......all I know is that I think it would be fun, and I play this game for fun....but oh well. Maybe I am the only one who thinks it would be a fun map.

I quite honestly think this is one of the worst ideas ever. No one plays NS to deathmatch, they play to out-manuever the other team, earning the pleasure of absolutely demolishing the opponent's base. Maybe a custom map or two on the smaller side would be cool, as custom maps, but nothing that shows such an obvious lack of effort as some of the popular "fun" (read: retarded) maps that talentless morons make in twenty minutes.

That would make me happy also, just a map you could play with less people,
where aliens don't always win because marines don't have enough to even have a
commander.
We have tried bots, but bots still dont make it close to even.

Oh god. Fix your caps lock button, logan. No one thinks NS is CS, quite the opposite. Your second and third 'sentences' (if they can be called that) make no sense whatsoever so I'll pretend they don't exist. A DeathMatch map would not be great. It would be terrible. The reason NS is fun is not because it's a frag-fest. Indeed, it would be impossible to even attempt to turn NS into a DeathMatch, because fully upgraded aliens would destroy the marines every time regardless of how much armor they had. Balance would be impossible in deathmatch mode, making DM not viable from both a gameplay standpoint (i.e. it's not fun at all to play a strategy game with no strategy whatsoever) and from a logistics standpoint.

NS maps are not repetitive, if that's what you're getting at later in your post. There's more than enough gameplay on the 7 official maps to keep anyone entertained for a good loooooong time, and custom maps are being created all over the place. Custom maps are good, yes, but custom maps that go totally against the flow of gameplay as the developers intended it are not.

Calm down boy. Take some ritalin.

I believe MonsE has a map called ns_aaatriggercoveredhollowbox in the works <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> .
