Hi,

like i promised in another thread here's the BCMC, the Braindead CTF Mapping Challenge. Maps can be submitted if they meet the following criteria:

* Must be braindead simple (think Mentalspace, Squarespace. The complexity of SoylentCTF and Hydronex are the upper limit. Actually SoylentCTF is already too complex imho
* Must look decent (This is the point where Mentalspace or greatwall reloaded would be disqualified). Good lighting, nice textures, a surprising visual appearance (think cel hell), etc..
* Can be a remake of an existing map to make it more braindead or improve its looks..
* Must allow high FPS (compare your map with e.g. Hydronex for a reference FPS)
* Must allow using movement skills for fast paced action

None of these rules are really carved in stone. If the map is fun and looks good, submit it

Map submissions period starts now , for as long as "now" is before the ending date and ends on February the 1st, 2009 at 0:00am.

Voting starts on February the 1st at 0:00am. And ends on March the 1st, 0:00am.

There is no prizes involved. BUT: If your map meets the above criteria, then there's no way it won't find its way to a public CTF server. As FFA players seem to prefer these maps

Submissions:

Those two usually don't go hand in hand.. Interesting challenge tough; if i can mobilize the energy i may just whip something up.

Ok, i'll reformulate it

Ya know, actually this "braindead" stuff is that makes me puke nowadays...
No offense, but public has enough braindead maps, I think it would be time to make _REAL_ maps.

Yeah, i know that you are kind of allergic to simpleton maps.. I must admit i have mucho fun on these maps. They kinda allow to use the laser to its fullest potential.. These maps are more about raw power rather than sophisticated tactics..

Not true. I like simple maps too, they can be very fun. But not space floater after space floater, or wide, open maps after eachother.

I submit Positronic v1r3. It looks fairly nice, you can laser pad and it has its catches such as the crusher. Also it has frickin' lasers.
