bit of a tip for future threads, Mr W, `read them` and you may find the answers.

Maps are missing from the first map pack currently being played on the moddb server.. Is there going to be a second map pack for download at some point?

the only maps missing are the ones moddb thought didnt make the cut i guess so i guess not

That doesn't make much sense, because while they included my North Sea map, my CN Tower map which is far more advanced, nearly to scale, and took an entire month to create, has been excluded.

It's an accurate representation of a real-world landmark, allows for the required game types, and it's balanced.. I don't understand what could possibly have been wrong with it, particularly considering that half of the maps in the contest aren't even finished.

Gah, I'll be so upset if it was excluded..

We are proud to announce that ModDB send us their final maps in all categories, and our Dev team has already sent their results.

It was a pleasure to play through all those great maps, thank you all for your work.

ModDB will now select the winners and publish their results in a few days.

although the contest was a lot of fun, there seems to be some disappointment with how it was run.

what you should hope for is a similar contest that manages to follow its own guidelines.

It seems that some players are still wanderinfg if they have win or not, so feel free to check the results here

Thanks

I think it is great having a contest to really push the limits of the map makers but wouldnt it be a little more fair to the console genre to enable them to get a little "piece of the pie" I believe that it takes just as much effort in order to make great maps on consoles as much as it does on PC. I feel almost be-littled and punished for buying far cry on 360 instead of PC. If its equality and calling a game multi platform than I think all versions should be held to the same entitlements dont you?
