"I dub thee... STARGATE!"

I thought I'd never see this map, what with private servers being the only things running it. Then I realised that we could explore maps, which I completely forgot about. Even though it's a simple map, the actual foundation of it seems great for its intention. You know it's a great map and a great idea when it can completely take your mind away from the lack of textures to the point where you just don't care (I understand it will get textures eventually, but my point is that everyone seems to be praising it instead of complaining about white surfaces etc).

Although with what there already is in appearances, I'm actually a little happy to see a map under the stars.

And I hope more community maps are made just as quickly. No, not maps BY the community, but FOR the community, built for the intentions of different playstyles, gimmicks and methods of fun.

That is so cool.

Seriously though. Is there any chance of seeing this as its own mode using the same rules fight club uses? I can see a lot of people enjoying this, if not to challenge others in a test of skill, than for a good place just to hang out, watch good matches, observe other players, and just have a good time.

How many people can enter these servers?

How slick would it be if the whole thing was a nighttime map, but players in the stands had control of turning spotlights positioned around the level off and on?

They said we're allowed to spread them around by word of mouth, but we can't post them anywhere for some reason.

Problem is, there aren't any restrictions for players in these servers.  At any point, the spectators can interrupt a match and BM.  They're probably just trying to reduce potential abuse, but it's still strange.  

Hopefully they'll have a gamemode built for it soon!

See, these are the kind of sick ideas I like. There's nothing worse in a video game than a fair, honest, 1v1 duel. That's just offensive and disgusting, its like they don't even understand all the most motivating parts of human nature that make us want to kill each other in video games. You need to be able to somehow gang up on people or set traps or smack them in the knee with a lead pipe on the way to the ice skating rink. Now if they just put a button in the stands that caused jets of fire to erupt from the floor or some other kind of Indiana Jones kind of death trap, this map would be perfect.

Indiana Jones you say? While grilling people sounds like fun, this is not complete without a giant rolling cannonball of a rock that comes to squish the adventurous. :D

or that Antarctica level from Twisted Metal 2 where chunks of the iceberg would fall into the sea over the course of the match to make the map smaller and kill off stragglers and force confrontations, like the bomb collar map grid in Battle Royale.

Or the final bowser fight in mario 64!  I like the way you think.

Don't we have a Gigastructure/Hawken Virus for that? I'm imagining a reverse Tetris map now, blocks growing out of the ground making the map smaller and crushing those lingering on the fringes for too long.

I tried stopping by yesterday, but all they were doing was bouncing into walls.  The admin was just going back to the map to let people fight as my angry wife made me leave to cook fish.  Deffinitely interesting

Hey, that looks like it could be a Rocket Arena map for Quakeworld with r_drawflat enabled.

Now all that's needed is an automatic respawn after each round and a voice countdown..

Looks like a really cool map. Hopefully it can be added to the regular map rotation for TDM and DM in the near future.
