I remember hearing how custom maps where never played in q3 from a few ppl to say the least. Nice to see arguably the biggest tournament group throwing in with the mapping community. :icon25:

True, but this is as a result of the stock maps being unsuitable, rather than a generous embrace of custom levels.

Hey its a start though.

1. Use comp mods.
2. Use custom maps.
3. Use community created games?!
4. Profit?!!

Heh maybe not, but I think it would be great for a game based on the Q3 source for example to used in world wide tournaments for money. :icon26:

Woot, my map is on the list

I agree with Foo: stock maps are unsuitable for tourneys.
Similar thing happened in "Q3". Until pro-q3dm6 the scene was searching for a good maps. Ztn was found and later not any custom map get into the players' community.

Comment from arQon:

Spawns DO suck on every map: there's a horrific bug in Raven's original code for them.
The version of Q4MAX that will be used at CPL Winter has the bug fixed.

Interesting.

Havent you noticed it? Lost Fleet spawns are hilariously broken with the stock system.

whats broken about it ?

The potential for spawn rape 1v1 is way to high. I think I took some demos but either way a few nights ago there 8 of us on one of the speakeasy 1v1 servers, in every fight atleast 3 of the 7 frags were spawn kills especially around the single YA. If someone died near the shotgun below for example, and the attacker jumped up the pipe to the YA the victim would spawn right there in front of him time after time. The only reason there werent more is because the sound system is so bad that people couldnt always hear the guy spawn right behind him.

Theres definitly something wrong with it and I am sure if the q4max ppl werent tweaking it we would see how bad it is after this tournament.
