Map Testing - October 5, 2008

11 newly uploaded and 14 collected maps were tested yesterday. 3 maps have been approved, these are the results:

-- Changing_Lanes_Tilted --
- Too long for what it is, a boring straightforward track ([O.o]Alpha)
+ Fun, fast-paced. (raz0)
- gets boring fast, and will be a pain with many (Knuckles)
- Too tight for 32 players, I think. Especially the place where you slalom to the other lane. (raz0)
- first u-turns will cause clusterfucks (Cygnus)
+ Perhaps the idea could be expanded into a full map. (raz0)
Voted yes: 0 / Voted no: 4

-- BMX_Stunts --
- Not fun at all due to bugs.. Wouldn't be fun without the bugs either ([O.o]Alpha)
- yeaaa, I can't sprint again.. woo (Knuckles)
- lame map (Cygnus)

-- Tutorial --
- CP 6 easy to miss ([O.o]Alpha)
- Not enough room at all ([O.o]Alpha)
- Last CP is confusing (have to look at the radar) and tedious. (raz0)
- major failure, not made for more than a few players (Knuckles)
- First few CPs are way too tight and way too small. (raz0)
- too tight, lame finish (Cygnus)
- Map could work with more players, if you did something to seperate them first. (raz0)

-- Extreme_Endurance_Race --

- lack of repairs (Knuckles)
- Jump at CP69 instantkilled me, needs to be lowered ([O.o]Alpha)
- lot of annoying "run in walls" parts (Knuckles)

- CPs are too small at the start. (raz0)
- Would be nice if CPs that change vehicle had a different color. (raz0)
