<div class="IPBDescription">Ollj ! :)</div> k , goes like this , marines spawn and they have to get to the other end of the lava pit by walkin over 8 unit ( or smaller ) brushes...
the aliens spawn in a room that has a look to the lava pit but they cant get out , they only can parasite the marines to death , it has a bit of issues but a great mapper like ollj can handle it <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> it would be cool map non ?

They are ugly, unbalanced, and pointless.
Now i didnt mean to rekindle the fun map flame, but it dissapointed me when i saw people getting all worked up over a box, while real maps were being knocked off the front page before 2.0.
Its an interesting idea, but it sounds far too confined and to be honest, not alot of "fun"
i odnt make fun maps myself , but I thought ollj could make a good "full of entitys'' of it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
than play siege007, its siege006, but only ns 2.0 compatible
agreed. I wanna make a 2.0 fun map. Somthing riginal. I'm gonna come up with some ideas.
Yeah - Ollj sux0rz <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

I dunno, use gametiger.com and search for the map.

Also, for those who like the old Siege layout...

Now with disco lights and flying skulks! Just like in siege004... except less lag inducing this time
First off, to all the people who made, and love to pay fun maps--thanks for the fun!--I enjoy it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> .
Questions I addressed. "Why do most haters have to keep on saying 'fun' maps suck? Why do you think they wish people would stop playing them? Why do you think they get angry when people post about fun maps? Do you think these same people get frustrated when they see 5 servers running fun maps and they are all full? Why must people post that they hate a style, and you should hate it too?"--To me, these are very interesting questions.
I'll be honest, as a mapper, and working months and months on ns_m3rcy I felt the same way; My thoughts were, how can a simply made fun map with no texture detail at all get so many players, but something that I worked on so hard for months get none, or maybe just some clan members or a beta day.
Well, let's be real here. The truth is, the best revenge is success. Fun maps are a success. Lot's of people play fun maps everyday. So what if they were made in a day or week, thats not the point. The point is, something was made, an idea addressed; mappers made it, people play it. It frustrates some mappers to know that something as simple as a siege map can get so many players, and fear that noone will play their map they took months and months to make--causing the hate, anger, and frustration over the issue--this is very clear. I don't hear many regular players complaining, mainly mappers saying they suck. When I get on a fun map server, I rarely hear a person complaining about the texture work, or the simplicity. In fact, just the oposite, "This is a cool map", "GG", "That was fun", "Simple but very fun"...etc...
Gamers are not forced to play fun maps, I mean, who wants to sit through a download?? Right? The majority of people who play fun maps, are those that want to. Just because one person doesn't like fun maps, doesn't mean "They are not fun", "They are pointless", "They are Stupid". Whats the point of Pinball, PacMan, Pong? There doesn't have to be a point, it's jut fun. The Fact is, they are fun for a lot of people.
I have to disagree with fun maps taking away from serious maps; fun maps don't take away from any well deserved map, because, if they deserved playability, they would get players--simple as that. There are what? 500 NS servers to chose from in any given day; and only about 2% run fun maps--interestingly, they get players--are these people forced to play these maps? No. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
If you don't like fun maps, or questions or topics about fun maps, move on to the next thread, and let these people talk about something they enjoy.
It's good to encourage ideas, developement, etc; To make games fun for different people. Everyone has different tastes, and just because you don't like one flavor, doesn't mean that everyone has to hate it.
If you don't like the 5 servers running Siege maps, then go to the other 495 that run traditional maps. If you're mad because they aren't playing your map and playing some map that only took a day to make, and 5 minutes to texture, then run a server to see how many players you get.--Don't hate the player, hate the game.
I say, if you can't beat them, join them--hence, my carnation of OSMSiege--it has both detail, and a fun map.
Keep the ideas comming, and to all those that made the fun maps, came up with the ideas, the balancing troubles, etc....keep up the good work, and let's all just have fun playing maps that each of us like.
Don't hate, congradulate. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
Idolising is she wrong word.
I would never make such a stupid map!
Now stop flaming or writing threads about me, thats for private message.
