Odd review request

LDC · 07-09-2003, 07:01 PM

lo all
u guys do some of the bet and most comprehensive reviews around, only gripe with which i hav is that it takes so long to get a review
i have a rather unusual request - i currently hav a map near the top of the review que, which id like to swap for another i just released.
DM-Vertigo is near the top atm, i only put that in cos i wanted a second opinion, its an old map and im not too crazy about gettign it reviewd agen. however ive just released a 1v1 map called miatsu and its not been seen by anyone yet, so i was wondering if u culd take a look at it? maybe swap it for vertigo - i dont mind vertigo being removed from the review que. If this is possible itd b a big help to me

thanx ppl

Welllll... I'll ask the reviewer; if he's put in time (more than likely) on the queued map (Vertigo) then your new one will have to wait - I don't wanna waste his time and throw away what he's already done. Otherwise sure, we can switch 'em.

It's a go.

In brief, Vertigo is a bit of a daunting review... lots of good things, but lots of bad things. I think in the end, the score would not have been as strong as could be hoped. I liked the flow of some of the pieces, but overall, ease of falling, lack of a central atrium, and some long walkways killed the map's gameplay potential. I did like the design of it, though, lots of that was clever, and the way it blended with the skybox to give an illusion of scale was great.

I'm happy to oblige your request, though, and sorry for the wait.

aaah cheers guys i really appreciate that, imo u do better and moer balanced reviews than anywhere else, and a hlluva lot faster (so far its bin 7 months since i submitted my last map at NC for a review

) look fforward to miatsu review (its small n easy for ya

)
Btw i agree with the vertigo review snippet u mentioned - it was my first map way before i knew wat a subtracted brush was, i just found sum pretty staticmeshs and stuck them together i suppose one of these days i should doa revision of one of my floppage maps maybe get it right

cheers all
