Guys, this thread is now open for discussion. Not every map has been added yet, but will be in due time. I've removed the thumbnails in favour of normal links, which means I can all put them in the 1st post.

So, thoughts please!

PS. Thanks Choddo for moving this in here.

[Meerman]

Another bunch of maps added today. I've decided not to include SHIPMENT, as that's nothing more than a few containers in a small enclosed area. I'm sure you'll agree.

[LittleJoe]

I started using these location names in a random ranked game the other night. No one understood a word but I guess it'll soon catch on!

In the quarter final map vote thread it mentions a map called Shipment, anyone ever heard of it? I haven;t played it or Showdown

Its a tiny map. It's only ever come up for me in a playlist when doing a cage match (1 vs 1). The same with Showdown, although that probably comes up in old school playlists too.

They're designed more for traditional deathmatch games, but i thought i'd include them in the vote anyway just in case somebody loves them.

'cafe' and 'coffee shop' on crossfire could be easily confused...

[larrydavidsanger]

Ahh, I've never done 1vs1 before, might give it a go later then

Domination on Shipment is awesome, total carnage

[Anaardvark]

Yeah I played Dominaton on Shipment the other day, it's completely manic!

[Big Gus]

Good work on this Meerman. It'll hopefully help elevate myself up from to "Not quite so shit" status.

[Meerman]

Ok, I'll have the link updated with 'café' changed to 'diner' by the time you read this post.

Thanks guys!

Downpour has 4 x "shed". Do they each have any distinguishing features? The wheelbarrow shed or whatever.

If you can think of better names for those, then let me know! There isn't anything to distinguish these from each other. I'd have guessed people will use adjacent locations to indicate which shed(s) they mean, such as "tangos in the sheds behind the west turret!".

Thoughts?

Would it be possible to amend some of these maps with the flag points for Domination mode?

Good point! I'll do that once I've done these first, ok?

[idiwa]

I didn't have a fucking clue where people were on Crossfire tonight... MUST learn the shop names!!

[Pixelbark]

To akmed's Barber Shop.

[Blue]

Me neither. It was pandemonium, but brilliant that Meerman kept saying "they're in the coffee shop".

"I don't have a clue where that is."

"It's across from the bakers."

The only map I really know is Crash, and I've spent a couple of hours trying to learn Pipeline, but it's mahoosive.

[Pixelbark]

I know what you mean, at the moment, I only really know the beta maps. Some of the maps confuse the hell out of me at the moment, but I'm getting there.

[Meerman]

Just make sure you know where the North is on each map. That alone will help a lot.

I hope I can finish the rest of the maps today.

[Meerman]

Again, if anyone knows a better name for a certain location (something that's easier to remember or that has a better ring to it), let me know. I can update the maps easily and quickly.

...*grumble* Little Joe's warehouse...on pipeline *grumble*

LOL! You were serious? Do you think that's easy for people to remember? And is it the north or the south warehouse?

[LittleJoe]

I'll make it easy for people to remember the name.

Nah I was joking, although people'll soon be calling it that in hushed tones once I get going. B)

[idiwa]

It's be the split level warehouse with the MG in the window... sniper schweet spot.

[Meerman]

Ah the more southern one. Well it can do with a less generic name I suppose...

[idiwa]

yup. How about IDIWA'S Gaff?

[LittleJoe]

On a serious note I think you have to bare in mind that location names that require you to have a compass may be a bit iffy. No one's gonna be able to tell North Warehouse from South Warehouse in a hardcore game.

Isn't North Warehouse like a semiconductor or somthing?

[Meerman]

Are you saying that compass directions are a bad idea throughout?
