fun_elimination by Snipermarine...hmm. I'm very curious about how he reasoned when he released this one. It's only a big box. Basically, if marines survive the skulk rushes (and thats very hard), theyre home free to build 4 ips and kill hive with lmgs / siege (from rine start (!!)) / jp. Distance between marines and hive is almost (if not) small enough to siege from marine start. JPs can get to hive in a few seconds. Skulks almost as fast.
I will strangle anyone saying it's balanced. It's a first map. Meaning it is ugly and unbalanced.
One shouldn't release the first few maps one makes for a game. I've made about 5 ns maps, none released, since they tend to be either ugly and/or unbalanced. And here snipermarine releases the first map he ever made. Like so many other beginners. It's unbelievable that there are people that like this map (yah I mean you Ollj). At least marioworld has more than one room.
( Don't skip school, kids, or you'll end up like snipermarine ( learn how to spell ) )
Hahahahahaa...he lists ALL maps released. I could just make a room with 3 hives and the playerstarts and a readyroom, and release it, and it would still be listed there. Wait a sec, thats EXACTLY what you did <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
Oh, and I have seen one skulk chomp down a full rine team that was sticking together before ip was dropped. Don't matter.
My point is that the map is just plain <i><b>bad</b></i>.

i dunno if this is a 'fun map' i think it meets the guidelines of being a 'fun map' w/ all hives together and res's really close to eachother
i made it july 8
its the opposite of missilecommand map so i dubbed it, commandmissile marines on top and aliens on the bottom
its been tested on g4b2s server a few times and i got good comments about it so... <a href='http://www.guns4back2school.com/loodich/ns_commandmissile1.zip' target='_blank'>here</a> expect a ns_commandmissile2 somewhere far down the road i added lots of detail to it, to get away from that ugly blocky feeling of most 'fun maps'
my english isnt to bad but in some cases I have serious problems understanding what snipermarine tries to say with all his typos...
anyway... okok guys, I admid that I finished a map last month, some may call it funmap, I call it "fast-and-furious-action-map-without-ns-specific-gameplay-that-is-good-for-a-first-ns-mapping-try"... although I didnt want to release it some day it was on elites hp. *damn!*
take a look, maybe you like. at least it looks better than the whole funmap crap out there. only the gameplay problem had to be solved. oh and the map features a really amazing readyroom with join team marines and aliens, random team and EVEN spectator! there are three hives a marinestart some res nozzles and EVEN LIGHTNING! although the map consists of textured boxes it looks like in real life.

CoolCookies, Its up and in the rotation like all the maps in the contest. If you want to play just join the server and ask an Admin to change the map for you, tell him you are the mapper. They will change it after the map they are playing ends.
Just a reminder for you all. <!--QuoteBegin--></span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin-->#3 The map must be named like this. fun_yourmapname.<!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd-->
#7 Your map must have all the needed files, be complete and in working order. fun_yourmap will NOT be allowed to be fixed and changed to fun_map_b2. So make sure your map is in working order BEFORE you submitt it!
scott could you remove ns_supermario from the server... its a very bad version...
and keep "fun_supermario" up there which is the fixed version!
just saying this cause i see ns_supermario on the server right now <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

( Don't skip school, kids, or you'll end up like snipermarine ( learn how to spell ) )
and my map is even listed on the topic by elite guard about maps that are released and it is hosted on some website...
the site its hosted is:
thehivemind.org
and a readyroom, and release it, and it would still be listed there.
