Quake 4 Map 'remixes' in the works

[Hannibal]

Interesting bit of news for all y'all clamoring for better default maps n' shit.

Among the best maps in Quake3:Arena were the maps with the extention "tmp", that were created by Team Abuse in the early days of Quake3. Later on these were transformed by id Software into the Pro- maps in a pointrelease and became the standard for multiplayer team deathmatch in Q3. Now there's something coming up for Quake 4 as well, with similar changes to the Q4 maps as the "tmp" project from Team Abuse.

I don't know jack about Teddy (since I rarely played his OSP maps) but Swelt is a first rate mapper so hopefully this will all turn out well.

Great news. Finally, some big names getting behind the production of great maps for this game.

Great, Teddy and Swelt.

The tmp maps were not remixes but just id maps with alternative item layouts though.

Does this mean someone is going to make a map pak that has all the q3a maps converted for Quake 4?

[MKJ]

no it does not

i means someone will take the best q4 maps, change the layout a bit and rerelease them as revised versions, much like q3dm6 and pro-q3dm6

forget about the q3a maps I think I am not alone when I say we want new maps done.

New maps ok fine, but classic map like pro-q3dm6 and pro-q3tourney4, should have been into the game.
They put q3dm17, q3tourney6 and the map from Q2..
Insted of q3tourney6, i would prefer pro-q3tourney4...

good news

I would rather see good customs than 'remixes' of existing maps that arent very fun to begin with
