DeathMatch Community Pack (Second map released!)

Hi everybody.

This is an idea that I had after playing several deathmatch maps with some players. The main objective is creating a wad that should have at least 20 or 25 maps that have been made in community. I mean, everybody will create 1 or 2 maps to add them in the wad. But there are some objectives that you should pass if you want to map for the proyect:

[spoiler]- Dont make huge maps, we want small/medium sized maps so the players wont be walking around the map searching for other players all time
- Dont create 2 maps with the same theme. Ex: Dont create 2 tech-base maps.
- Try not to make the maps simetricalls so players can have some fun
- If you want, use all the ACS that you think it will be needed in your map (Have some fun there :cool: )
- Make the maps with a decent level of detailing (THIS DOESNT MEAN THAT YOU MUST BE A MAPPING GOD)
- You can use 3D floors if you want but dont overload it
- Make the rooms big, so players will have some space to move
- Try to make an interesting layaout
- Make automatic doors, dont give free frags to players
- If you are planning to add a BFG in your map, make it really really hard to find it[/spoiler]

New Screenshots!:

We expect that the proyect is finished in 1 or 2 months. So you have time to think and create your maps :biggrin:

Here its a little example of my first two levels:

People working in the wad: 10

Thanks for reading. I hope everybody will join it :wink:

Wow those screenshots look great, especially the first one.

If I have time between work/school and my other Doom projects, I'll try to finish at least one map for this. c:

If you want, you probably don't want to but, you can take maps that are small enough from Ragnarok DM. Kind of a coincidence for someone to make a DM wad little bit after I release Ragnarok.

Ill see your maps and probably choose 1 or 2 (this can be great if there arent too many maps with a theme in the wad) :smile:

Most maps have varying themes, be cool with any of the maps I made. For those that I didn't make, you can ask authors of them.

I have been making an invasion map for a little while, but I certainly do want to make a map or 2 for this map pack. I'll give you screenshots of a few other wads i made that i didn't release via PM if you want.

I've been working on my mapping skills, so I'll try to have a map made. I might be lacking in the detail department though, but I'll try my best. :P
