2002-07-11 20:03:08 / Link
Some clans/players have already been telling the admin-crew that they want to play the CMT maps in NQR3. We in the admin-crew are not 100% sure about this, so it would be very helpful for us if you, the players out there, could also share your thoughts about this by commenting on the issue.
If you dont know what the CMT maps are then you can download them HERE. The CMT maps are already uploaded to Telenordia, Hellfire, Z and EA servers (cmt1 cmt2 cmt3 cmt4 cmt5). If the CMT maps will be added to NQR3, then all 5 CMT maps will be added, not just 2 or 3.
HELP US OUT HERE! THANK YOU!

well i dont think they should be. i dont think enough players know them at the moment and i dont think they will be on many servers. its ok for scandanavian clans who have a better choice of servers, over here in the uk there are only a few servers that are acceptable and they must ALL have these maps put on. |

Yes, some exmx maps out, CMT maps inn sounds good. The only thing is that some clans have those maps as their map of choice, and thats what NQR is about, be able to play that map. We already took away many maps from NQR2, making the map list much smaller. If we keep cutting down on maps, maybe NQR wouldnt be that fun for everybdy no more...I dont know :| |

@Kryten: I dont think saying not many players know the CMT maps is a valid argument. The same can be said about the episode maps as well.
The servers are a serious issue though. We need to harass the respective admins to add them.
Don't be shy, you will only have to play an "odd" map here and there i think. If you loose you can still own the other team on the (well known) decider maps.
If the maps prove to be of some quality they will also be played more and everyone gets to know them by time.
For me it does not make a difference to play a lower quality map once in a while, be it an episode map or a custom map. |

No thanks, custom maps are too immature at the present time (a lot of players dont know/havent played them). As stated above, there is also logistical problems with servers - games might have to be played with hugely unbalanced pings because one team wants a custom map.
I think custom maps might be ok in smaller leagues (e.g. national leagues, or scandinavian perhaps) where the communities are much less varied and will be playing similar maps and servers (for example UK leagues have used custom maps for 5 years). But keep them out of NQR please. |

Qw need new good TP-maps, but I don't think all cmt-maps classify. There's also a BIG problem due to lack of servers who contain them atm. No good idea to put them in NQR before it's possible to play them in each country first. |

Is e1m5 a good map for 4on4? :>
Only clan that plays that map is your clan. And I have never seen it been played in a pickup game (:
Well e3m4 is n't the perfect 4vs4 map thats true, but e1m5 is even worse. And if the normal e-maps arn't allowed I can't see why some cmt maps will be allowed that like 1% of the qw scene has played. |

Yes, e1m5 is a good map for 4on4, thats why it is inn NQR this season. You refered to the Axemen, who played e1m5: we played 28 games, that means 28 times e1m5. Over 50% of the clans we played against said that e1m5 was in fact a nice map to play 4on4 on. I tell me that UF and QH can say the same ? I think not...
It does not matter what name the map got, if its exmx or cmt or whatever, we pick the maps from what the maps ARE, not where they are from or what name they got. We want quality maps, we didnt see that e3m4 and e4m6 was quality maps for 4on4, again: sorry... |

1)When we started playing NQR2 (i was a CPT member then ) i even didn't know half of maps that people played but after I saw some demos i started to "know" them... and in my oppinion it was fun and thats the idea ---> TO LEARN SOME NEW MAPS ain't 7 years of playing DM2, DM3, DM4, DM6, E1M2 a bit long time ???
2)I wonder how many of u guys saw all the maps u r against of ???? not to mension that for sure none of u saw any demos like SR vs HF <<- on CMT3 ( I think or 2 ) TOTAL OWNAGE
3)On the other hand I wouldn't put all CMT maps.. but it's just my opinion and i think nobady will get hurt from playing a game from time to time on a worse map than DM2, DM3, DM4, DM6, E1M2 :D
4) Look @ yourself all u guys that say "no" and see what r u saying... u sound like a 5 years boy stateing "I WON'T EAT VANILLA ICECREAM COZ I WANTED BIGGER VANILLA ICECREAM" I mean that QW ain't LIFE and the world will not colapse if u loss some CMT maps but if U ( or many many other ppl) start to like it ... qw will be reborned with a new face and THATS THE POINT :) |

Maybe playing on diff maps is good for qw? As you said, qw is dying slowly, about time we did something about it? Maybe some map-variation can help?
Ppl dont play a map because they dont know it, not because they think it is bad. Ppl are playing to win, not for fun, and that is what is making the qw scene die slowly, as you said.
How can ppl know if a map is good or bad if they dont try it? Maybe we should listen to the ppl that really knows the maps, instead of listening to the ppl that dont play diff maps at all, but yet they know everything about maps?
Raue, it seems to me that you are the kind of sort that dont want variation at all, does that mean that you and ppl like you are the reason for qw's funeral?
Can't you see we are trying to make something happen? |

well, some of cmt maps are really nice, but, ffs, until they're widely developed, they can not be official nqr maps, because this thing will result in server troubles, WOs and so on. thanks a lot, do u really need a shit like that?
why can not we just select dm2, dm3, e1m2 and 2 more maps from eXmY? i think that clans signed up in nqr can just elect 2 custom maps by voting. ofcourse, e3m7, e2m2, dm6, e1m2, dm3, dm2 should be excluded from the poll. isn't it a way to solve the fucking trouble? :D |

You say you never played E1M5 in a pickup game. I bet you'd disconnect if E1M5 came up in a pickup game because you hate it, or?
bot_` aka b52
That will never happend. If we choose dm2, dm3, e1m2 and maybe 2-3 more maps to play Ill prolly leave NQR or something. What made NQR so popular last season I think was the freedom to choose from all the ID maps. If you want to play dm2, dm3, e1m2 (and a few more maps) play in SD. Playing the same old maps all the time sucks the most. People are afraid of new maps, but once you get to learn them they are really funny! So drop the attitude towards CMT maps, If we never start playing them they will never be played.

Razor got a point here "all maps r fun if u know them". Agree...but let the circumstances allow all players to play them in a decent manner before we put all those "new" maps in NQR? 1 or 2 ok! As I said earlier..we need new maps..that's just as true as QW need big league/tournaments like NQR/SD. I wanted to get your asses out here and play, and the result of my wish became NQR. We can/must work on all issues that develop QW and NQR/SD. Offcourse we have different opinions in some matters, but that's a part of the growing process. This dialog with all devoted quakers, makes it possible to slowly tune our minds towards progress and success in the end. Time is our best friend but also our worst enemy. If we can't get this damn machine to work properly, we all gonna "ride the rocket" right out of the quakearena. |

It seems stupid to say all 5 or nothing simply to please a few of the map makers rather than what the majority of the 50 clans signed up think!
You will probably have difficulty getting the cmt maps onto all the necessary servers though! |

Ok, its time to to say some words about it.
1.For all ppl who are talking about "upload problem", i just wana ask - was it a problem to upload KTPRO on the servers ? No. Ktpro now located on ALL servers in europe. But its a server mod, map uploading is MUCH easier, cos u dont need change your cfgs and something, u just must put 5 maps to the maps dir. Thats all ! So - forget about this problem. If u can upload ktpro, u can upload maps too. Thats all !
2. ExMx for desinged for SINGLE player only. Its NOT dm maps. There are many problems on that maps, they are unbalanced etc. If that maps was designed in ID, its not means that that maps was designed by god himself.
3. CMP maps was desinged by skilled designers and skilled players. We know the game, we know what is good and what is bad. We are not gods, but we just KNOW that game. There was many discussions to make the maps more balanced for tp. CMT maps was designed SPECCIALLY for teamply 4v4. Not for single like like exmx, not for FFA like original DMx, not for duels, not for other shit.
THAT MAPS DESIGNED SPESSIALLY FOR TP 4V4 AND THERE NO ANY PROBLEMS TO UPLOAD IT ! CAN U UNDERSTAND IT FINALLY ??? |

Well, the cmt map project did take some time. We did a lot of testing and we had many discussions to make everything right. And if I am not mistaken, this was the only project where players and mappers worked so close together, for one simple reason only: to get maps that PLAYERS like, not only maps that the mappers like :)
It seems that CMT3 and CMT4 has been accepted by a lot of ppl in the Scandinavian region. Why? because ppl play them. And that is the only way to know a map, and discover how good it is, to play it. CMT1 is being played more and more also. CMT2 was the first map out of the projet, and was played a lot in the early stages. CMT5 has also been played a little, but not the same amount as CMT3/CMT4.
The elite 4on4 players from the best clans are saying the maps are very good. When they got to know the map, they said the map was excellent. This only proves that the quality of the maps are what they were supposed to be: desigend for 4on4.
Should we listen to ppl who says the map sucks, when they dont have a clue about it?
Should we listen to ppl that thinks that maps like start, end, e3m4 etc is maps for 4on4?
Or should we listen to ppl who knows how to make a good 4on4 map? And to the most experienced players; the elite. The CMT maps are not dm2 spawnrape heaven. It is balanced maps where skill will prevail. I thought that was what we wanted, to have the most fair game possible, not some lucky spawns or a lockdown that is very hard to break down.
If CMT maps are in NQR3 or not, it really doesnt matter, because sooner or later, maps like these are what we will play 4on4 on. Why? Because they are made just for that purpose, to play 4on4 on. Dm2, Dm3 and e1m2 are the classic three maps, why? I guess ID didnt know how to build 4on4 maps for Quake, it was too early in 1995/1996 to make great 4on4 maps. The community that didnt know anything better at the time, decided that these 3 maps was it. That was not surprising when you look at the rest of the ID maps. Folks: do your self a favor and look VERY carefully at the CMT maps, a lot of players have already discovered them, but the majority have not looked at it yet, you should, they are the future of 4on4. Just my 2 cents... |

I think the argument that these customs shouldn't used because they aren't on all servers is a red-herring. The reply is simple: they can be uploaded to existing with little effort.
However, the mopre important objection, it seems to me, is whether these maps are of the same gameplay quality as the big 3? I think going full bore with all 5 maps is going overboard myself...but that's just me. I see no reason why gromm's map and naked can't be used along with the big3, giving 5 options for maps in the tourney. The 2 customs I mentioned have a lot of strengths and have been played a little...so the majority of qw players sort of "know" those playing fields; and they do have potential to add some spice to qw tdm. I do not want what i say here to miscrued to mean that I think the big3 are what Link thinks they are. I reason, however, that having some more variety on tdm playing fields will force clans to develop novel tactics and strategies...and individuals to develop original ways of jumping and manoeuvering around them. All this would make the qw tdm community refresh its thinking a bit; and I believe this would only add to the greatness of the tdm maps we already have--I mean, who can disagree with making qw tdm better?

This is only a matter of the "better" clans don?t dare to play new or less known maps because they are afraid to loose against less good clans who have learned an unknown map and rocks at it.

If the cmt maps aren't included in NQR3 then when will people begin to play the damn maps? Never!
The Custom Maps Tourney doesn't seem to happen so this is at least a good way of making people learn and play these great maps.
Power to the ppl :) |
