    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 ) )

    well the marines can pamp a corner and be in a formationw hent eh game starts so they can survive better...

    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
  • InafiscisisInafiscisis Join Date: 2003-04-30 Member: 15965Members
    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>.

    Uh, maybe you should fix the .zip to install to ns\maps and such instead of ns_blow_b1\maps

  • DEADscottDEADscott Join Date: 2003-03-29 Member: 15022Members, Constellation
    ns_blow does not meet the rules and is not entered into the competition.
  • LoodichLoodich Join Date: 2003-07-16 Member: 18201Members
    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. (I should stop this sarcasticreply at this point before I get banned <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> )

    <a href='http://mapping_grunt.tripod.com' target='_blank'>how to create a map with lightning and more then ONE big box (search for ns_60seconds)</a>

    and btw: (advertisement) join our server that features maps with really amazing readyrooms with join team marines? and aliens?, random team and EVEN spectator! there are three hives marinestarts some res nozzles and EVEN LIGHTNING! although the maps consists of textured boxes they look 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.

    #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-->

    I told you at the voogru forums that I am working on beta 2. It's almost done. Just wait a couple of days. (maybe today if I feel like working on it much more) and It will be out. Come up with your own theme if you want to make a map. fun_marioworld_b2 will be out shortly and there is no point to this map. Why dont you do megaman or zelda or somthing if you want. it was only a beta 1 version. The next one has many things worked out and I think I fixed some of the balance issues. so wait a minute before you go around fixing my map for me. You dont see me taking other peoples maps and turning them into somthing else do you. This super mario world map should be disqualified by rule number 7. It is an updated version of MY map, and I think if someone is going to steal MY idea they should at least ask me about it first. OneEyed could have PM'd me and asked "hey, I have some ideas for your mario map, do you mind if I do my stuff to it?" But NO he just goes out and decides he don't like my map and changes it to his own will. I should have beta 2 done soon, wait for it and learn some patients!
