A little advice from nobody to the mappers

Recommended Posts

OK my turn for a bitch.

Tonight I went looking for some new Single player maps to have a go at.

I decided to try one called Battlefield.

""Retreat to the west & regroup at the village before reinforcing the front line"", sounds great.........

So it start it up, wait for the cutscene to run, take 2 steps, another cutscene, 1 step, cutscene, 1 step, cutscene, 2 steps cutscene, cutscene, cutscene, cutscene....... FFS.

FINALLY get to run for the truck.... Cutscene....... get to the truck.

1 man down, enemy everywhere, what the hell, lets throw in another cutscene.

To cut it short, 3/4 of my team die, I get a couple into the truck, drive for 5 minutes & guess what... F***en CUTSCENE.

Cutscenes can make a map nicer, but they can totally stuff it too, as in the case of this map.

No one downloads maps to watch endless cutscenes which totally interupt the gameplay.

This is not the 1st map I have deleted because the maker decided they wanted a fancy but unplayable map.

PLEASE guys, Make it as fancy as you like, but not at the expence of gameplay.

I'll get off my soapbox now.
