Things that are good about this map/things that are bad.

What should change/what must stay?

Lose the player's/sysop/mod/etc lounge. Though it is artistically pleasing, it serves no purpose in a flagging map. Add another base or a duelling box like we used to have - perhaps even an expanded high score/elim scoreboard. =)

On bomb lines: I don't think they're excessive; they will force the offense to master a wider ranger of tactics than without, giving defensive teams (appropriately) advantages over offensive ones. Bomb lines add a new level of experience to base assault: I.E. I think they give a cool "d-day invasion" feel to the game.

Lounge and Powerball: I agree, the lounges are pretty useless, though they aren't hurting anything. On the other hand, I don't think powerball is worth including at all. We should encourage players in the public arena to flag, not to powerball; the confusion over Reds is also annoying. Why not just create a separate powerball arena with a more involved map geared specifically towards it?

Base names: I don't know the names of any of the bases yet. Maybe this is because I'm unobservant, but the names aren't as clear as they could be. It'd be cool if the labels for bases would pass through your line of sight whenever you entered them: this would shorten the learning curve for the "lingo" that the map will develop (and has developed).

Alright, that's all I can think of for now. The bases are really sweet... and the many (sometimes awesomely subtle) allusions to older maps and bases makes it just more amazing. Really, the map making guild kicks ass. I am in awe.

i have no one to send my map to or no one who will give a damn to look at.

i say the swz leaders make a sub area (with infinate) amount of sub arenas off of that (like the league arena...u can go in swzfl100 and it will still have the same map) for a place to upload the "players updates to the map" and then have the right people view them and choose from that.

either that or make a new section or link on the website for the swz MMG and then we can all upload a pic of our maps there. then the players can choose on what they think would be most suitable for them to play in.

Im no map maker (I have better things to do with my time ) but sweet idea.

Of course they are never gonna give everyone the ftp username and password for the SWZ website, or setup something to allow people to upload pics to the web-site.

So, why not just put em up on your own webpage and then create a post on dis' here forum board and add a link?

In my h. opinion at least one new base is needed on the map, so lets see those bases.

an added feature i was thinking bout is that...yea i understand that they couldn't give out the website ftps and other things. but they could have an email that we could just email our maps to.

i brought this up before and no one responded, now lets just hope for the right person to read this and then it could be a work in the makings.

-Powerball must stay. Its good to play when there arent much people in zone and the confusion when chasing a red which turns out to be a baller kicks ass as well :P

-Bomblines: good or bad? This has been a question from the start. In my opinion some lines are just too hard. If you go full defence on some bases they are like unattackable IF there werent bricks. I think bricks arent used enough for attacks. IF people WOULD IN FACT use em more carefull and really green for em bomblines wouldnt be such a large problem (especially freq 0 bomblines because they dont have those irritating bombs bouncing back from behind you)

i also sent him a base map that just shows all m recent bases that i made. that will be updated almost daily untilmy net on my comp gets fixed. if anyone wants to set up a website for me then i can post all my maps (8 total) on there for you all to see and tell me what you think.
