Winner announced March 31
Winners map to be put in the game (finally, a new map!)


so good luck to anybody that takes this up.

 

[knut]

No, the 360 players can not. The map will no doubt be released to consoles so heres hoping a good map is made.

 

[Cavalry]

I am about to start now though, and I only game on my 360.

As long as you are on your PC, you can make a map, can't you?

 

[Lucid]

They should spend more time fixing their bugged to hell game than doing stupid crap like this.

But if the person who makes the new map makes said map big like CoD1's maps then it's welcomed.

No, I mean... eh, damnit. You can't map using the 360 console, is what I mean. Either way, you need the PC version to map as the PC version is how you would do it. Obviously you can map in the context of you being a 360 gamer aswell, but you need the PC version to actually do it.

Nevermind.

I hope whoever does win this makes a map that isn't either a) in a city or b) in some derelic industrial type area. I really hope someone out there makes a pretty big map in a forest with some smaller derelic industrial sections that don't make up the entire map. I'm thinking... Pipeline style, but with a forest, and some hilly landscapes, a river perhaps. That'd be sweet.

Overgrown?

 

[knut]

Overgrown has a river (dried up, natch) and a few trees, but it's a tiny map. I'd prefer something much, much bigger.

I play it religiously and I've not seen any bugs, nothing to make a fuss over anyway.

I'm attempting this contest, though I didn't know about the contest when I started the map. I didn't have a choice about mapping it, I dreamt about it several nights in a row once I found out the tools were released for CoD4.

While I would like to see a proper 'natural' map, I abhor terrain-making in Radiant. I don't know why. Something about vertices raping my father and killing my sister, I imagine.

So I'm going for full urban, somewhat sci-fi setting, with large chunks based off a game I'm very fond of that I doubt most CoD4 gamers will recognize, hehe. It allows for interesting architecture above and beyond "Typical x/y/z".

What I'm going for is an assault on a small fortress in the middle of a devastated city. You can either go Rambo frontal assault, a side street with more cover from the fortress, or underground. I may work in some minor scripting too for the fortress, such as lockable blast doors, etc... I adore lockable, slow-closing blast doors more than puppy-eyed... puppies.

Mapping monologue over, move along.

Insert quote + QFT, for above. What bugs? Really. They've fixed damn near everything that I cared about, aside from weapon errors. (Just why exactly does putting a red-dot sight on an Ak47 reduce its damage? Why can you magically sprint almost twice as long with a P90, already one of the best guns in the stock game?)

And for those problems... that's why I only play the game with a mod I did the weapon tweaking for.

 

[Houndini]

this is really cool and creative, good luck.

 

[Rapstah]

360 players can map too? What's there preventing everyone including people who don't own the game to make a map?

 

[<RJMC>]

I allways wanted to see a big open place like a city main square as a level in games like these

They cannot mod, only if they have the PC version which they can pirate anyway.

It'd be pretty hard to get a map working without the game, assuming Radiant will even install. I'm pretty sure you had to install the game for vCoD or perhaps it was CoD2 radiant... Granted, MW is a proper multiplatform so the tools ought to be standalone...

You need the game installed to use Radiant.
