the only map that it's not new on 1.5 that wasn't remake was ctf_Cobra
maybe it's because cobra is a remake of snakebyte xD

ctf_Steel wasn't remade, but that was explained already

I just love how my map has one vote. (it isn't mine)

But yeah, I voted for Wraithlike's and Zakath's as I like them the most.

F4||3N · « **Reply #23 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:09:10 am »

Now that I've play tested some of them (against bots)

B2bZ by Zakath is probably my favorite.
It's been the most improved so far. And I tested most of them!

I don't want my map to replace Nuubia anyway

It was just kind of fun! But still it has at least 3 Votes

-Bendarr- · « **Reply #25 on:** August 07, 2009, 09:17:45 am »

In order of preference...

Lantu
MayaRevamp
AshZ

The #1 voted is apparently Equinaxe.. It's only decent I think; everything is rounded too much. If there were boxes the left of left flag and right of right flag like on Equinox it would be better.

Also... WHY AREN'T SCREENSHOTS OF THE MAPS WITHOUT TEXTURES REQUIRED?!?

Where ice is or death poly's, shows what it would be like to play the map in real matches. "Well I don't think it would be very balanced if you get stuck on that wall immediately after getting the flag.." etc etc.

I noticed that as well, but figured it wasn't worth mentioning. Thanks for speakin' up.

With that point in mind, try out that map out people! [/shameless self promotion]

Accidently we missed it, sorry for it :S. We'll recommend mappers to check that their maps are in polls at beginning in future.

Voting will be closed in 24 hours.

Yeah! Chernobyl2 is tied with the 3 first maps, I'm loving this! : 3

Map Artist · « **Reply #34 on:** August 11, 2009, 06:40:15 pm »

If Wraithlike's map is beaten, then whoever voted has no sense of what's a good remake. Seriously.

As de Espada · « **Reply #35 on:** August 11, 2009, 11:56:04 pm »

that will hardly happen
there are 6 votes and a lot of great remakes

RatBoy · « **Reply #36 on:** August 12, 2009, 12:29:38 am »

Gasp, I'm too late to vote. That's what I get for going AWOL.

Anyhow, my vote WOULD have gone to Dormant by Smiluu =D

Thats just personal opinions.

For example for me, Wraithlike's map is no good, atleast if compared to the original one. He rounded alot of the parts and streched out the areas way too much and cramped up the whole map to a smaller size. Then he removed some good things from the original like the bends in the low route and he basically changed the low route that its just a boring route as same as the top one. The cave in the original gave it some depth that there were varied areas in the map as in where this one is just monotonic. And the whole visual style is just too plain imo.

Map Artist · « **Reply #38 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:11:04 am »

The original was difficult to move through and has tons of gameplay issues.

One being the size of the way, it was too large. There was always spray and boosting issues with the upper route. The lower route also has problems with camping.

The polygon structure is awkward in the remake and doesn't allow fully smooth movement. With the remake, he curved many areas, allowing for bunny-hopping and quicker movement.

And with the additional of the spawns and several other adjustments, spawn killing and flag staling is also fixed.

The original never had good gameplay and I always found it to be one of the worst default maps. The remake doesn't make it one of the best, it's still far from it, but it's a definite improvement.

numgun · « **Reply #39 on:** August 12, 2009, 07:59:43 am »

Funny, you just listed all the stuff I love about the map. : )

The camping in the low routes was nicely moderated by the collider boxes and it was both fun camping and taking out the campers in that area.

The top route was really fun due to the open space that allowed you to fly pretty freely in that area and m79/nade boosting also was fun there. The fact the map was large was another favorite point of it. It sort of had a semi-slow gameplay on it with a good atmosphere and special areas with their own gimmicks. I really like this map and compared to the very first version, the updated one in 1.5.0 is very good, well improved and it works.

As I said, its all about personal opinion in the end.
