Well, here we are. I, MattDGiant, present to you...

The Long Awaited...

The Many Times Delayed...

The All Important...

Pre-DLC Competition Result Thread!

Ok, so many of you fella's are probably angry with me. I have to agree, things went a lot slower than they should have. Still, have no fear, the RESULTS ARE HERE!

Quote:

In case you don't remember, THIS is the way the maps have been rated.

Quote:
Submissions will be Judged on

Originality */10
Playability */10
Aesthetics */5

A first place, second place and third place will all be appointed.

Each Judge Rated the maps, and then sent their ratings to me. All of the scores for the maps have been averaged together, including my ratings, and finalized.

Nao, teh resultz!

Oh, wait, hold up. Before I say the results, I just want to say that the person who posted the Infection Map on Valhalla must actually have issues.

NAO, teh resultz!

Alphalexxy
by TurboGerbil604

Avg. Originality: 7/10
Avg. Playability: 8/10
Avg. Aesthetics: 5/5

Overall Score: 20/25

Quotes:

"i loved the inside of the map, although overused (4/6 maps used it), was made fantastically, allowing for varying gameplay"

"This was by far probably the best map I saw during judging. Sure it did use the same spot of last resort as the some of the other maps but this map was still got a high origionality becasue of some great ideas you put in this map."

"the only one im keeping great layout the switch activated teleporter works very well"

"I escaped MUHAHAHAH but t'was only a fluke and I couldnt do it again, great map"

SOOOO, with that outta the way, we can move on to the awards ceremony!

First things first, I just want to comment on the fact that the majority of entries were all built inside Last Resort's Main Base. This brought down the originality rating on many maps, because everyone used that section.

Secondly, I forgot to mention earlier that all of the quotes in the ratings were taken from all of the judges ratings of your maps. I left their names out so if you got pissed off at a comment you wouldnt go neg repping them.

OK.

TEh moment u been waiytin for...

First place goes to....

Alphalexxy, by TurboGerbil604, also known as !nikheizen.

Congratulations Turbo!

Alphalexxy was truly the finest out of the bunch. It had a score of 20/25, which was the highest rating of all the maps. This map was basically inescapable, and had smooth gameplay, as well as some slick aesthetics. This map needs to be shown to the FH forums man. It is really good.

For all you fella's out there who havnt seen it,
I GIVESHOO LINK:

Alphalexxy

Turbo, you have just won yourself some nice repburgers AND this lovely userbar, courtesy of sdrakulich.

You can copy that into your sig, good sir.

Second Place goes to....

by xRedNormanyx!
Congratulations!
This map is really quite good. It is, to my knowledge, the FIRST map built on a Pre-DLC map that has GEOMERGING AND INTERLOCKING!
Yes, thats right. GEO MERGING.

On Last Resort?

WTF?

<Head Explodes>

This map didn't come in first, simply because the gameplay wasn't quite as good as Alphalexxy's.

Still, the visuals are quite tasty.

You can has 2nd Place Userbar!!!

Third Place Goes to

Compound 2K8
By Xx BEHEMOTH xX

Congratulations! This map, although it had a few too many power weapons, had a fairly nice layout, and utilized the inside base of Last Resort pretty well.

Here's your userbar:

To everbody:

Thank you soo much for participating, and be on the lookout for

PRE DLC COMPETITION 2!

Heres a little teaser of whats up ahead:

Ptheiap?

Nan0teck · 09-02-2008

What??? My map got a low ass score?!?

Sadfaic.

EDIT: How the hell did I get such a low score on aesthetics? That was supposed to be the map's specialty (for lack of a better word). Oh well...the judges have spoken. I'll leave it at that.

!nikheizen · 09-02-2008

Alphalexxy was a co-operation by me and SweenyTodd, I can't remember the 1337 used in his name, but you may want to add that.

DimmestBread · 09-02-2008

I'm guessing the next is epitaph. That would be fun. (based off of your hint.)

MattDGiant · 09-02-2008

I wonder if all the competitors have seen it yet. And !nikheizen, you should tell SweenyTodd that you guys won.

EDIT: He should be happy, too, as he just won the LMC too.

I think you just hung around in forge and canvassed the map, didn't you?

headlessbarbie · 09-02-2008

Yeah, pretty much, lol. I did help with a lot of the blocking off though, remember? you were like "there. now it's inescapable." Me: ".................uh......." *jumps straight out* Gerbo: "............Fuck."

o btw, i still am using your canvas of the blocked off inside for my dodgeball map. LIEK OMG OLD MAP???? yes, old map.
