Don't take this wrong. I'm not a mapper at all. I would love to but I don't have the skills, the teacher or the time but... I challenge Nali City and all of it's resources to take on the following task. Don't stop here either. Spread the word as it will only help you too.
In my several years of playing UT, I have come across a situation worth mentioning since so many of you are so hellbent on making better maps than others and getting the much deserved kudos. I want to try to make this work in my favor so here it goes:
It is my humble opinion that some of the best and unfortunateley usually most of the worst maps out there are Monster Hunt maps. These have more creativity built into them than all of the other gametypes combined. Monster Hunt maps are must be the toughest maps to make being so much foresight and imagination must go into them in order for them to be considered even well made at all.
So my challenge here is to have some of you mappers take the time and give it a shot. I bet many of you have never even played the mod before. Play it and play at least 20 of the maps. Surely you'll come across a couple good ones in twenty. There are only about 150 maps total that I can think of for this game type right now. This is an excellent opportunity for you to OWN the market and make a real name for yourself in mapping. Don't you want people to see that the map was created by you and sigh in relief knowing that it will be fulfilling to play? Aren't there certain map makers you think of when you see a really good CTF map or a DeathMatch map? That person could be you! Take your place in UT history! No one has really tried this (making MH maps) in years. This market is ripe for the taking! Do it!!! Install the Monster Hunt mod. Monster Hunt is extremely fun especially with 2 or three friends exploring the new maps for the first time. It's a team based mission oriented version of UT that uses the original monsters from Unreal and many of the original weapons as well. You and your group have to charge forward against incredibly unfair odds and loads of monsters through thought provoking maps. Some monsters are 40ft tall while others can kill you and they are no more than a foot long. They hang from ceilings, come out of cracks in walls, hide behind bushes, splash through the water, teleport in from who knows where and just keep coming around every nook and cranny! The concepts utilized to mark partial completion of missions and regenerating new respawn points are inspiring. Triggers and traps, layers and layers of intense challenges and hours of pulse pounding gib scattering fun! Truly only the very best of the best could create new, inviting, challenging and rewarding Monster Hunt maps. Are you up for it? I will be more than happy to beta test any works. I expect to host a web forum, ftp download site and already run a Monster Hunt server. I am part of several forums that all want the same thing: Good "Monster Hunt Maps" Please send the maps here to Nali City so they can be shared out and be sure to prefix their names with MH. Do a search here for any right now and you will find only one. This is exactly what I mean! This is your best chance to stand out and show everyone what you've known all along. You are the best map maker.
If you think you are interested, please reply. Thank you and happy hunting!
