Description Maps today are all the same. They have the shredded 2367 look, and play the same, with some gauss and thwump and mine and rocket and bounceblock. It is boring. It takes great amount of time to spot a nice map which is new and innovative and fun, above all (Well, I can excuse a standard map if it's done really well). Standard mush keeps basic N needs checked but to get fullfillment you have to almost make your own.

People don't dare to place objects or make tiles the way they haven't made before, or to break these "aesthetic rules". When have you last seen rocket placed next to wall, Oneways next to objects or Floorguads next to wall. This spacious idea in which everything has to be secluded is dulling down mapping.

Be brave, slam objects onto a map without caring about aesthetics. You may only succeed once out of ten tries but that one map is worth more than standardized mush.

Most maps look boring and dull too.

"Be brave, slam objects onto a map without caring about aesthetics."

i may have said this before, but i'll say it again anyways. part of what separates a good mapper from a great mapper is the aesthetic quality of the map. if you had two maps of the same gameplay quality, but one mapper actually took time and effort to make their map look clean and pretty, and the other just threw crap everywhere and didn't care about aesthetics. the one that looks better is clearly the better map.

if you disagree and you don't want to take the time to spend an extra 10 minutes refining your map, break a leg. when you start saying things like 'most maps look dull too' or 'people don't dare ... to break these aesthetic rules', i'd like to point out the archives of Yahoozy, asstheoceansblue, shortshift, and pheidipides.

i recommend ending this little crusade of yours.

This is the most boring a dull map I've played in a while.

You broke the aesthetic rules AND gameplay.

You forgot the modern types that stick to the E58 rule.

I have a neurological disorder that causes me to make aesthetically-pleasing maps.



Of course, I haven't seen a E1 in a while.
