Completely agreed on what Mangycarface said.
Really, if you want mappers to take etf2l’s future mapping competitions / requests seriously, you shouldn’t be needing to delay the first one this much.

let more than just div1-2 take part? :f

1night cup with 12/16 or so teams, play all them maps and so on. How hard can it be.

gogogo

tbh the sense of the pickup channel was to give feedback, so i play a game, come back and tell eg arnold hey there was this problem, just to know he already released 3 new versions where it “should” be fixed, so im waiting for akill to make a new mappack, oh snap hes not there, well so you basicaly had to wait around 2 weeks to get a new mappack which then was already old like 2 days after

So, how did June 28th go?

This is such a nice fuck you to all the map makers who rushed their stuff to get it done within the narrow time frame set.

Just make a poll, but it would be nice if only the people who played the maps on the playtest channel could vote… or let the same team that filtered the maps decide who wins.

This is obviously not gonna happen.
Apparently the top teams aren’t interested in this.

Getting teams below div2 isn’t really fitting for the idea proposed in this thread (ie. getting 4 teams to play against each other).

So if anyone has a PRECISE suggestion to how we can find the winner, please do tell.

The only thing i can think of would to make a little board of people to spectate (or watch demos) of playtest pickups and see what map worked best etc, doubt it would be that enjoyable though…

It’s a real pitty that the higher divison players arent willing to help the community out with this, it would be very good for TF2 to have more maps that are played alot (that dont have shitty respawns!) Its getting rather boring playing the same maps every day. I remember a fair while ago when you could play in pickups and find out new tactics you didnt know of or hadnt thought of but nowadays this is abuntant because of the lack of maps.

I’m guessing the “top teams” either just dont have enough time to help out their community or just arent interested in new maps, either way its a shame.

If the first idea isnt to your fancy maybe just make a few criterias for the maps to fill.

Like Design, Playability, Ability to mix it up, Originality etc etc etc and just get some of the players who have played these maps to rate them and whichever map gets the most points wins

(maybe 0-10 for each criteria 0 being absolutely rubbish and 10 being absolutely amazing)
