It always has to be a first poste..
And here's another "book" if you will, wich you can skip and definetly dont have to reply on even if you read it, this isnt a /popcorn forum.
I have played many maps and have the last two weeks spent many houers on this map during different stages because they happen to been uploaded on my fav-server.
I disregarded to point out flaws, exploits and whatnot in the poste becouse I simply do it ingame and saw no point in telling the creator the things ive found lacking on the map here, that he already knows about, and let you "fresh" testers, to coment on things you find should be improved.
I decided to write a review containing a little more then a line of 'omg lol, guud juub, lol omg you suck noob' - I chose to talk about the game play, the feeling of the map, wich I think is quite an important aspect of a map that some mappers seems to care very little for.
I turned to ppl who might like a challenge on hard/scui diff, those who run in a prefixd team and mostely beats whatever map they play.
After all, its the other half of a map to be valuated.
But I take it that the look of a map is the only thing that matters in your eyes, wich takes away the whole point of a foe and Game-play experiance. Wich asks, what purpouse dose the map server then?
To be frank, alot of maps are filled with poor texturing and lightning, contains redicilous out proortioned objects or something thats against law of physics or things thats put in places wich is pure stupid.
"Cleaning up" all that is a part of what a beta testing is for...
Im not going to name whos maps and what map, this isnt a /popcorn flaming-forum and serve no purpose to coment on now.
But, we can probberly all agree that the Core maps are lacking in one way or another,. I find them plain boring after a while wich is good, it spurs ppl to create additional maps to be played.
It seems many tend to do maps with the HL2 air about them,
wich is becomming tiresome, same theme all over, same map as the last, just around the corner or behind "that" barricade.
But, it works for some, wich is fine, Asp-Manor simply had an different and more appealing theme to me and I feelt id coment on it aswell as the gameplay feeling. Hope you mappers take it in and create more radical enviroment changes to your maps for the sake of us gamers to get more out of the game.
About someones coment on Doors and Floor Boards, Wheres your fantasy?
For all you know its custom made for Horzine's creatures, maybe its the Patriarchs little kitchen and want a door knop fiting his meaty fists?
The floor board might aswell be fake, IKEA glued sheets of texture to cover a metallic/whatnot structure below for Horzines labs and to support the rest of the building? - Who knows. who cares? - any artist critic know that there almoste always are sutch unknowables in any artists crations.
Point Is.. I dont think it matters mutch if youre busy killing suff, even if you try to explore. But I do understand that some things on a map, just irks when you see them. But thats just person to person stuff, always someone who disslikes something.
Now I dont care what you coment on this map or whoevers map, its your review and opinion.
If I decide to coment on a map, know that I do it Quite Objectivly, and definetly not to "promote / sell" a "friends" map.
I care very little for intruiges, drama and classical /popcorn crap so I try to avoid it. If I happen to Coment/write a review of Your map, well, I hope its wellcomed no matter if its positive, creative or negative content.
