I agree with hectic. The version currently out was essentially a rush-job. I had just gotten my xbox back and really wanted to just get something out to show i was alive, and thinking of the Township/city thing. That map took me like 1.5 days to get the basic form done.

V2 is pretty much done, and I've certainly made it much more enjoyable. In return for a SLIGHT sacrifice in viewing for zombies (you can still see though, just differently), I've been able to balance the buildings better and vary them more. I was also able to bring back the "Storeroom" from township, and hid the better weapons slightly better.

EDIT: I just realized i made a pun of my own name. lolz.


^^Thanks Norlinsky^^

Lol. pun. Well thanks for understanding my point of view without totally bitching at me for saying that there are more deserving maps. It is fun i must say but I could be better. I am looking forward to a (hopefully) feature worthy map! Let me know when it is out.

Normally I would not do this but I actually want to replace my map recommendation for Prometheus with a recommendation for an unbelievably incredible piece of work known as Gatekeeper. WAIT AND LET ME EXPLAIN.

1) its by the same author

2) Its kind of a v2 and I feel this map is far superior to its precursor.

That is why i don't want to recommend Its prior version for its like recommending a map twice. Honestly I think anyone about to recommend a map should take a look at this first for they might just change their minds.

I also agree with Canadians360, I took a look at Gatekeeper earlier and the map was awesome, not only is the map created very well, but it is also presented nicely too. It actually looks like he put a lot of time into his map, and i think he deserves to have it featured.

Yes. He is right. I was the one who originally vouched for prometheus but i think i will switch mine also. It looks just as insane as the old one. Gatekeeper looks just completely dirty. I really think you guys should consider this one.

All three of you.... the map was released 22 hours ago, you all said "looks" and mentioned nothing about how it plays. "Put a lot of time into his map, so he deserves a feature" So hard work makes it better than hundreds of other maps...

Nominating from looking at pictures.... not good.

Actually maybe if you read our other posts you will have realized that we have played it. We played the map we nominated and the changed that nomination to the "v2" Don't be so quick to judge. Maybe you should try playing it and you would agree with us.

I have plaid on Prometheus over 20 times and have played on Gatekeeper at my friends house seven times today 4v4 and 5v5 personaly the looks are good but there are far better looking maps out there. If you read my recomendation for Prometheus you will see that I said it was the best ctf I have played since Utah Mambo and I should have stated it's even beter on gatekeeper. My whole opinion on the gameplay and it's diffrences from it's precursor is stated in the thread. I never stated anything about looks. Please read Gatekeepers thread before declaring I have never played on it.

EDIT: And when I say take a look I meant try playing a few matches and you might change your mind if that's what lead you to your conclusion I'm sorry that could come out wrong. But you should play on it ctf, assault and slayer are amazing and I want to get a team Koth game in soon. And maybe you should be a little less judgeing next time.

I would like to nominate The City v2 created by Something. I am nominating The City because of it's amazing gameplay. It's so much fun to play with large parties, and I have found there to be no camping spots on the map. Surviving requires loads of teamwork. The new version makes a lot of changes that, although not that noticable, will effect gameplay a lot. I love the destroyed gunshop, and love the new entrance. It reminds me of the original City so much! It reminds me of how a doomsday map is supposed to be. Not like I have ever experienced doomsday.

It would be in the best interest of the map if you posted those thoughts in this thread.
