That sounds like a plan. Toss in Whack-a-mole just for the hell of it

Grrr. Shadow replied before i could edit my post

It doesn't have to be 1 huge map pack. It can be a series of packs over time, because new maps will keep coming after the initial release. We can also vote on which maps should be included to make sure the map packs get the best the community can offer.

Hey P5y that's cool! I was thinking of working on a map editor but I suppose you beat me to it, that's great! You could even display 3d models of the planets now, I'm almost done with the 3d format, it's usable enough.

I still wrote the ONLY three player map, you can put it in if you want.

Well Im a bit unsure myself... ITs a great idea, do it. but I am working on a map pack right now that utilizes my map mod, itll mostly be to show off what people can do and give map maker's allot more options. but its a mod, and thereby doesn't fit in a 'generic pack'

It isn't going to be "only" for long... specifically, as long as it takes me to finish installing and playing Crysis!

That's it, I'm writing a nine player map to preserve my name for posterity. Oh, wait, 3v3v3. It makes too much sense. I'm going to write a 7 player map just to mess with people and give me an excuse to mess around with the map editor, which sounds awesome. But above all, I want to see if I can make it good enough to be included despite its bizzareness.

4v3 isn't all that far-fetched, if the 3 are particularly skilled.

1vs1vs1 ... 3 FFA isnt bizzar.
Since the first MP Beta it was a problem to get enough Playres for the standard maps, so i desigend a three player map.
Its still better to play with three Players on a three Player map then on a four Player map...

actually, in a 3 player ffa, someone winds up getting attacked by both players, or two players fight while one colonizes for free, 3 player ffa just doesnt work

Heh, that kinda reminds me of the old Eve Online days.. We all said "There is no such thing as a fair fight in EVE". It was true.

I don't mind odd numbers of players, or even losing to being ganged up on. As long as i can get in a good fight.
