what will happen to all the maps that dont meet the deadline but are still made?
There will be other playtests for map inclusions, yes... but you must realize that the 28th is the absolute due date for a playable version of your level if you want it in the *first* release. I'm not sure some of you understand this, so... just thought I'd (attempt to) clarify.
<i><b>If you do not make the 12 noon deadline on Friday the 28th, your map will not be in the NS Version 1.0 release.</i></b>
Working on a project means making deadlines. If we waited for everyone who said they would do a map then vanished, we'd be here until doom's day. There have been about 50 community mappers come and gone since I first found NS. Just take your time, finish your map, then wait for the next community submission window and you can send it in.

I assume there will be mappacks.... and I don't think that NS will disavow the idea of third-party maps released in-between public versions of the mod. People won't have to wait until the next version of NS comes out simply to get their map into server rotation (although it might be a bit more difficult if it's not one of the default maps that comes with the installer).
Bottom line: if your map is good enough, people will play it, regardless of when it is released.
