Yeah. I can't see this voting system bein' soo super-original, no offence intended. The reviews actually remind me of some older NC reviews, 'cept the reviews on Sunspire are harsher. Still, I like the NC voting system. It's good to know a map has been rated down 'cos of the lack of flow 'cos I care s*** about flow.
Or predictability. I predict PEOPLE. I guess if the opponent I just shot at is dumb enough to walk the other 'way round where I expect him or if he's clever and waits behind a corner for a moment only to come exactly the way he was going while I am looking the other way. And then I take action according to my judgement of my enemy, and the map is only secondary. I don't wait for some sound that tells me around which corner my enemy will appear in a sec, to greet him with a rocket.
I hate bein' killed by ppl who know a map 'cos they send ther rockets towards where I come 'rond the corner before I actually do, because they could predict my appearence thx to some sound effect or other B$.
So you're gettin' a hint on why I don't like their reviews too much... tumbs up/down tells me THEIR opinion on a good map, which means nothing to li'll me who has a different point of view.
So what I get is more or less nothing. I decided to dl a few maps they reviewed, but based this decision entirely on the screenshots. Those weren't half bad at least :tup:
NC's more recent reviews were usually very detailed and gave me a better image of what to expect.
Besides, they emphasize the lack of quality in (all) other map review sites entirely too often in my
not really humble opinion. I don't like that attitude much.
We'll see I guess. No need to condemn them from the start. We can
still do that later
