Anyone notice a bunch of zeros lately

Ah, okay... just saw you quote that and I didn't want anyone to feel bad about 5 maps when they didn't have to. ;)

I think ONS maps will be much easier than DM maps to get right, if for no other reason than the fact that there's a node editor and not really any z-axis (at least not yet). Item placement isn't a big deal either... weapons lockers make that a good deal easier, though they still have to figure out which weapons go in which lockers.

There always seem to be people on the {pdX} servers that Pineconeboy posted.

Wow, thanks for the pimpage... although that's not strictly true. Only the ONS server is really populated the majority of the time. The other ones don't come alive until the evening, when the most people are playing. But this is typical of many servers.

I think that there will be plenty of ONS maps as they are probably going to be among the easiest to map for. Lots of terrain, some meshes, and a skybox.

That just means more piles of crappy maps you'll have to sift through to find the good ones though.

Preach it!
I envision a lot of "small soldier" ONS maps in our future. "Lowgrav Matrix-Moves Sniper Arena Joe Schmoe's Bedroom"-style ONS maps.

I poke fun, but I couldn't map my way out of a wet paper sack if it had holes in both ends.

Add Instagib and it'll be the ultimate in UT cliché-ness. :p

Frankly I look forward to instagib maps :) after playing some ONS IG (yes you can make the demo IG) it has much potential :) just a couple tweaks and its good.

That being said CTF and DM still work IG, the BR xloc rapage sucks but I think you can turn that off on the real game (so who cares all the BR clans will just let you self pass) and if not we can code a mutator for it.

It maybe a cliche but IG is why allot of us left quake for UT, IG roxors :D

UGH! I can see it now. ONS-BIG BEDROOM! The cores and nodes are hidden among shoes, chairs, dirty underwear, and a stack of porn magazines. :eek:

I am sure there will be quality maps made for 2k4 as well as some poor ones just like they were made in 2k3.
