The "Just 52 hours"-Top Ten Map Pack
compiled by [SKR8]Gunslinger (gunslinger@counter-strike.de)
for
www.counter-strike.de
Starting off as a weird idea in the mapping forum of
www.counter-strike, things were heating up when I decided to give it a go:
a fast mapping contest.
The rules were pretty easy in their outlines:
Every participant was permitted to use only the standard HL Textures and
most of all a special texture pack.
The contest would start out on a Friday afternoon and the mappers had to send
in their finished maps until Sunday, early evening - thus granting them a mere
52 hours to create a map from the given setting and textures. The mappers' identies
weren't to be revealed to anybody (not even the jury) until the contest was over.
I was able to persuade -sk2- madness (madness@s2k-clan.de) to create an absolutely
beautiful texture set fitting the setting we had chosen:
Spain!
When the contest was over, I didn't trust my own eyes since my mailbox was
bursting with maps -
it took me several hours to sort everything out and in the end
came up counting more than 100 maps that had been made by mappers all over the
world at that weekend...
I had quite a lot of work opening a thread for every contest entry in our special forum
and a along with my 5-men-Jury I had even more trouble selecting the best of the maps.
After a preselection and a lengthy playtesting period of the finalists the jury gave their
final judgement.
The maps that are included in this pack are the Top Ten of the 100+ maps made for the contest.
We ended up with two maps sharing 10th place, so this pack includes 11 Maps.
The mappers were given the opportunity to fix some annoying bugs in their maps (skywalking,
getting stuck etc.), but you won't really find too much difference of the included maps
to the original contest entries.
I am pretty sure you will be as amazed as I have been to find out which beautiful maps
have been created by the mappers within 52 hours!
The maps included are(in order of their final ranking, shared places included):
1. de_52leon by Warbeast
2. de_52costadelsol by Bruder D

4. de_52puente by Cortex
