    Ooooooo, now that would be nasty to announce them :huh?:

    We've received some pretty cool maps today. A new updated leaderboard for CTF will be created soon. And yes, there has been a shift in what maps are in the lead ::D:

    -The TDM category only has submissions from 2 contestants so far. A leaderboard for that category will go up once there are more people involved

    ::):

    Hey everyone, here's the new leaderboard...

    :wink:

    CTF map Leaderboard.png

    As you may have noticed there is now a "Score" collumn.

    All contestants that have a map scoring 6 points or over will make it to the leaderboard; whether it be in the top 3 or not. So that means yes, 4th 5th 6th etc places will be revealed to all! However they won't win any codes... not even the wooden spoon ::(:

    But they will know where they currently are in the rankings :thumbs_up:

    >>>Expanded Leader-board

    Thought all you cats would like to see a 'bigger' look at the board.

    *Still plenty of time to submit your maps; the contest closes on the 12th of November

    *All maps are being hosted on "Map Maker's Corner!" for the duration of the competition and some while afterwards. Check it out :thumbs_up:

    Map commentary: I've never seen a map like this before. Nice eye-candy throughout. Very original structure. Teams will have to rely on builders a lot here. Overall very nice.

    [CTF]Joiken'sDeformedOasis
    [CTF]Joiken'sDeformedOasis.png
    Map Commentary: Looks fantastic from the mini-map. The flags in this may be too hard to get. There are two different levels to fight on here which is engaging. The islands in the top middle area are certainly a good strategic point. Good work.

    ThreshBridge
    ThreshBridge.png
    Map commentary: I particularly like looking at the map as a whole. The tunnels mix things up a bit. The map could be improved with some more eye-candy on the top layer, but I'm sure people will enjoy this one.


    CTF_N13_Waves
    CTF_N13_Waves.png

    Map commentary: The "Waves" are a very cool concept. This map is extremly large and would be hard-work to play on unless there's a full server. The eye-candy is perhaps lacking on the islands, but is done respectably on the lower part.

    Map commentary: This map is weird. However it was entertaining to play on when I encountered it in the Map Makers Corner server. I like some of the ideas here, but I feel it could have used a little more tweaking... as defence is too easy.

    Commentary: Very nice looking map. Good use of water-falls. The undergound pit is my favourite part. Some parts seem slightly squished at the top middle in my opinion. However, this map will be a very tough one to beat and I would definately recommend this for being a default TDM map.

    Dash_TDM_1

    Commentary: The eye-candy is lacking a little bit, but the structure in the middle is very quirky and interesting. I also think the dead-ends at the sides are a decent idea.

    I like the eye-candy on this one. It's quite pleasing. Hill maps like this are hard to pull off because most people know that when you play on this kind of map, it gets difficult because you are either falling on your enemies or they are falling on you all the time. However, considering the direction this mapper took, it was done pretty-well.

    A water map! Water water everywhere... most hate to swim we think. Similarly to the hill map above; this is a difficult concept to pull off. The mapper here has done respectably in doing so.

    TDM_N13_Haunted
    TDM_N13_Haunted.png
    Well this is a whacky TDM level. Something different indeed. I think the long tunnels can be cool sometimes. However it could get sameish after a while. Despite this though, this map scored very decently with a 6.45 - a hairs-breadth away from the current first-placing map. WATCH OUT Joiken.

    (Non-leader-board maps)...


    Eruption - 5.95
    Eruption.png
    Quite the arena. I hope I bump into this map on Map makers corner server, because it looks like a lot of fun. Good resource placement, intriguing map-structure.

    Nubrake - 6.05

    I personally liked this one quite a bit. The middle part is one of the best features of a map I have seen in this competition so far. It's very very long though! I've not yet become a fan of such long levels.

    Pass_Fest - 6.8
    Pass_Fest.png
    This is another wild-card from 8x. His first submission is currently in the lead with 7.15. I felt though with this one entrapped, much like one may feel whilst playing it. The narrow, bedrock-enforced passage way everyone HAS to make their way through I think is very niche. Some people will love it. Others might want the hunk of bedrock to somehow collapse onto 8x whilst hes playing, permanantly burrying him so he could never make such a divisive map ever again!


    OH AND LISTEN UP ALL!!! ALL THE ABOVE MAPS ARE BEING HOSTED ON THE SERVER MAP-MAKERS CORNER (EU)
