On behalf of the #newmaps.ET:
Newmaps.et was created to help map designers test their new creations. We do both private and public tests, depending on what the map designer would like. In a public test, you, the public will get the chance to play these maps. Who knows, you could be playing the next best thing in ET before anyone else gets the chance too! After the tests we give the map designer the feedback needed to improve the map. Bug reports, general improvements, give them our opinions on the over all feel of the map and how it plays. Usually once that is all done we will get the next version whenever they update the map and it is done all over again until the map designer is happy with how it is and feels is ready for it’s final realise.
Doing all this we hope that the ET community will accept new maps easier and build the hype of an up and coming maps as people would have played them before already having good memories and judgments of how it plays.
The team are supported by Gamers Nation and can be found on the forums hosted kindly by Gamers Nation.
In this forum you will see dates and times of tests in the near future. In these threads you can post to be added to the list of people to play it and then afterwards leave your comments on the map. This is what helps us and the mappers successful and is a must. So please leave your comments on maps after they are played.
We will also be holding forum games at times in order to test some maps so that the GamersNation can play them and have fun killing the those you’ve been talking to on these forums for so long. So stay tuned and watch out for them!
Personally I would recommend this service provided. I was lucky enough to be the first they tested with on wolken1 and received massive amount of feed back from the guys. Since then they have tested brenem and colloseum and produced feedback reports for the respective mappers (blushing bride check your pm on GN if reading)
If your interested in getting your map tested by the team pop along to their forums and request a test their or visit us on #newmaps.ET on quakenet.
