Hi all,
One of the things that I have noticed about Inf and just about any other community supported game is the difficulty in locating the latest and greatest map version, mutator version, etc. There are several community sites out there that archive maps, mutators and such but as there are so many releases, they are often out of date. There is simply not enough time in the world for one person or group of people to keep everything up to date.
My thought was that it might be nice to have a community download center where mappers, coders, etc. could post their files for release to the community. Whether final release or BETA, this area could be used to provide one stop shopping for everything Infiltration. Since the actual developers are doing the posting you are almost always guaranteed that it is up to date and it creates a place for devs to share their files from without having to deal with the advertising supported sites like File Front, etc.
Before I put something like this together, I want to make sure that the mappers (Opfor, Fat Marrow, et. al.) and the coders (Crowze, Cleeus, Duke, etc.) would use it as it would only work if they use it.
FYI this site is not intended to replace or compete with a Real Maps or Combat Maps as there will be no reviews. In fact I would welcome either of those sites to leech the files off my site if they were so inclined. I would not be posting reviews, ratings, etc. This site would simply be a storehouse of files.
Please let me know if this would work or not.
