word from ramm was that there are around 70 entires for the grindhouse competition. looking here though:

http://www.moddb.com/games/killing-floor/grindhouse

the numbers are way less... wayyy less. any explanation for such an exaggeration???

You're kidding right? There were over 70 maps submitted for wave two. If that isn't a mass influx I don't know what is :)

Does it matter. Hospital Horror and Carryonup are clear joint winners. Grimpen second and suburbia/The Darkestroad third. Props to the pretty maps but they don't have the stamina (that's what the wife says).

hospital horror: it was nice in wave 1, but again? with more blood? i think wave 2 is looking for something different.

carryonup is nice but its more tedious than it is relaxing. stairs stairs stairs, up down up down up down, stairs stairs stairs. brewery was arramus real shining star.

grimpen - lag. not just in one area, but the whole map, but it looks very KF which is nice!!

suburbia - i played that in L4D i think.

the darkest road - again, it was nice, but again? with more blood? i think wave 2 is looking for... well you get the picture.

PS: i miss maul, we need his criticism again.

PPS: i think we know whos going to win ;-)

One man's meat is another man's poison.

If the winner was the map everyone voted for then it would go to Shinobi for Ganja farm.

In this crazy World anything can happen. Whatever next the President getting the Nobel peace prize for... Hope...

Still laughing.

shinobis maps are good. but not challenging. his mapping style is more suited for KF mod zombies - which were alot tougher, and didnt fall like flies. shopping mall was perfect for the mod, but now its EASY. etc etc etc. people seem to like these easy maps because it lessens their rage quit habit.

I did not say they were good or that they were bad. All I said was they get voted for the most.

And with that I will finish my Pinot Grigio looking forward to a weekend of European Rugby. Have a nice weekend young man.

We're going through the submissions now. It looks like we might have had a bunch of duplicate submissions (you know mapper gets in a panic his submission didn't go through so he submits 3 times). We had 70+ submissions, but when we weed through them all there might only be 48. We'll let you know.

Yeah, it's hard to tell. The only one we were certain of last time was Waterworks, but this time, I don't see any clear-cut winners yet. It's gonna be a tough call for the judges!

And yeah...they awarded a Peace Prize for "What he will do" instead of what he's done? If it's that easy, I want one! I'll pretend I care about the stupid homeless... Wait, did I already undermine my own position? Crap...

So Dextro's odds of winning with his 3 maps have shortened to 16/1 from 23/1.

I really think people should've been limited to ONE map...

we dont need to know about your sex life gusone ;-)

last wave, what map did the devs comment on the most? waterworks, and what map won? this wave, what map have the devs commented on the most??? and about the one map per mapper thing i agree but thats not the case, another rule shouldve been:

You may not be a former employee of any video game company including Ubisoft, Valve, Eidos, EA, or TWI.

You doubt my baking skills? I'm like Betty Crocker in the kitchen. Give me an oven mitt, some all purpose flour and a couple cookie sheets and I'll bring the fire. You won't even see it coming, paralyzed in a daze and by the time you come to I'm sliding out trays of cookies you don't even wanna know about. Believe that ****. Sugar? Peanut Butter? Semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterfrosting? My arsenal knows no limit. I've got racks of imported French wax paper so them ****s don't stick down, I get them looking real nice and beautiful like it's some fancy food magazine, but it's not. It's for warriors only. You think I'm letting random people sample these obscure treats? Better believe there's gonna be a 6 page application just to get me thinking of putting you on my cookie waiting list.

I... I... :(

exactly hahaha. no but really, i put teh count just to sound easy going, care free, i also put the picture of the count from sesame street to reinforce that, just so ramm doesnt think that im outraged or anything, because im not, just wanted to know what the deal is, i couldve just msg'd him about it but maybe some of you were wondering also why theres 48 maps instead of over 70 maps.

but now we know why :)

and i must admit, moddb was having some weird troubles uploading, i had to upload KF-Oviamoire like 7 times until it finally worked the way it should.

I think that Multifarious looks good and is fun to play too. For me it's easy to pick a winner.

Ok, I did make that map. I swear I'm not bias!!!!

Seriously though, loved the competition. So many talented people here. It's tough making a map with a time limit like that. I will never pirate a game knowing the stress designers endure for their babies.
