Best ET maps released in 2005'. nominations *CLOSED*

(EB) #1

2005 has come and gone…

[ul]To begin a map-project and follow it to the end, is a great acheivement. I think we should show our appreciation to mappers and their skills by choosing a list of the best maps of 2005’.
Showing our appreciation to all mappers for their many-many-hours that they put into making maps for the community, would be a great thing.
-Afterall, everyone of the mappers here at SD forums and abroad, deserve a big “thanks”… Don’t they ?[/ul]

[I hope we can narrow the list down to the top ten maps of the year, as chosen by the community.]
Please note that the qualifying maps had to be released during 2005’

  1. Nominate your favorite 2005’ map in this thread.
  2. I will create a list from all of the nominations and then create a vote thread
  3. Then we can vote on the top maps for the past year.
  • Please do not nominate yourself…it will be ignored.

[Edit]…let me clear the air a little…
it could be that a map had a beta2 in 2004’ and the beta3 in 2005’…
The nomination would go specifically for the version released in 2005’.
Example: “Temple3” was released before 2005’ but “MLB temple” was released during 2005…making “MLB temple” eligible and “temple3” not eligible.

Also…3 nominations limit, per person, please.

I am just trying to make the limitations fair for everyone…if you think they aren’t fair, then just say why…

At first thought I’d say Tramfight and Alpine Assault, as I remember their quality.
I’m not sure about the dates though.

I allso thought about others, but 2 is allready too much I presume? :confused:

I think CAHA Tavern was a great map only it had a low fps :slight_smile:

(EB) #4

Updated first post after considering Kamikazee’s points.

(Gringo) #6

(BXpress) #7

hopefully noone says its remagen xD …its WIP for almost 3 years now O.o

(ayatollah) #8

Seconded…I think it is beta17 or something ridiculous now…Ah them NW guys and their strive for perfection.

PS. Did someone say Mountain Radio? :smiley:

(Northerner) #9

BASERACE B3a is the best map ever!

no other map out comes close to the ‘enginuity’ of this map
plus no other map gives each side an identical chance at winning
cause its all about the teams & teamwork that wins the map!

(Dazzamac) #10

Decoder. for its general greatness
Mountain Radio. for its simplicity yet supreme playability

Enough of the clan stackin, sure everyone knows Mountain Radio is great heh!! :nag:

But I definitely rate Decoder, for the amount of work that the author (Leif > who will only be be called Life by his clan buddies, because they is Englishers what doesn’t like other languages!!) has put into it in testing and evolving the map. It isn’t very well known, but deserves to be one of the best known ET maps to be played. New objectives, interesting possibilities for matches etc. Hopefully now he has a solid version it will get a bit further than so far. A link in case ye haven’t played it yet, VERY worth playin!:

Another great map this year was one originally released the previous year! (Correct me if I’m gettin me years wrong!)
But I’m talkin about Tramfight. Definitely in it’s b1 (2004, I think - may be wrong) stage it was as good lookin as anythin SD produced? By beta2 (2005 I’m sure), it lost some of it’s good looks but became a much better map to play. A real shame it is not on every pop server out there tbh :confused:

And finally Raw Castle TE (again I may have my years wrong). A fantastic map, in its own style, but with very fast & frantic gameplay. It went through its paces in beta versions until this tournament version released this year. A beauty to look at & a joy to play!

WP all these mappers tbh, thanks for the hours of fun :]

(fattakin) #12

Raw Castle TE, Decoder b3, Tramfight b2 get my votes too as thats where ive had my customs fix for the last 6 mths.

(fledsbo) #13

braundorf, tramfight, decoder

(Shaderman) #14

I say Braundorf and Alpine Assault.

(fattakin) #15

For the record, baserace drains my will to live

(eq-Shrike) #16

In no particular order …

Brevdorf, Cathedral, Decoder (NW sexies rule)

(Gringo) #17

Who specifically are u addressing that question to northerner?

I also agree with the nomination of raw castle te. Its a cracker

(ayatollah) #18

Surely Brundorf and Cathedral aren’t this year are they? You NW sexehs want to take a clean sweep from this dont you!

As for baserace…

(Dazzamac) #19

braundorf b4 was released this year so technically it qualifies :banana:
Also worthy of a rate alright.

(Higgins) #20

RadiochatterII

Created by me, got to beta 2 and lost my map files due to hard drive problems. But it plays good, and you can do all the objectives with no bugs attached.
