anything blood, guns, and zombies works for me, but something nicer and party friendly must be the popular demand

different people like different games, so why do you have a problem with that? battle planets is a fun map that deserves to get more recognition.

I have just updated Baneling Scramble to make the song loop 10 more times. Just to keep you guys updated.

From my experience Battle Planets has been great fun with a party, and I'm not saying this because I made the map. Pretty much the only people who play it are in private lobbies with their own friends.

boosting is bad

I just uploaded my map project for Changeling Nightmare. But somehow I cant make my map images to show up! How would I show screenshots in my map project?

You image links link to the wrong page. Right click on the images and click copy image location and use that URL rather then the ones you're using.

if you want an easy to get, awesome to have fun all nite long mod to get through the nite..

Sorry colors but, I don't think battle planets meets these requirements. Its a fun game but I can only spin around the sun as a planet shooting rocks for so long.

ALSO: Rodrigo, whats the chat channel?

I QUOTED MYSELVEZ!!!!

i must be a famous person :D

well aside from taking up room with this post i'll edit in something important... i updated my map and added the box (just like the one in call of duty). there might be more updates to come, but i'm waiting on some enlightening brainwaves... could take a while, judging by how i started this post... errrhhh.... yeah...

You didn't. You don't want to link to the image shack page that shows your image, you want to link to the image it's self. If it doesn't end in .jpg your doing it wrong.

YES NOW Changeling Nightmare has pictures! The problem was I used imageshack's link instead of Direct link

It's obvious to me that you haven't actually given my map a shot. Your posts as of late haven't been very impressive.

This is a pretty good idea and I'd like to help.

@lotsofcolors: Go

Oh. Some dude named "colors" claimed to be the creator of this map called "battle planets" and I must have confused if for your map. Sorry about that.

BTW your post of late really isn't impressive.

I don't think petty bickering is really going to help this idea. I'm looking at grenegg and lotsofcolors. The fact of the matter is there is a poll and I think you need to learn what they represent grenegg. Your opinion is only part of a bigger picture. All maps should be given a chance no matter of various peoples personal opinion.

That being said. The whole point of Map of the Week is to get maps that are currently not popular... popular. So with that in mind, I think we can assume that lots of the maps in the current vote have not been played widely by people. I suggest we have a minimum requirement of at least a video and X screenshots and a description thread etc, as without literally loading up StarCraft and trying to play the map (which we all know in most cases is pointless as we won't find players) I cannot find as much info as I would like on each map. Therefore how can I really vote if each map isn't shown to its fullest extent?

On a side note. We are obviously a community of creators. A lot of the players do not frequent these forums, I suggest thinking about more advertisement in the future like a website dedicated to the idea. I'd be more than willing to help out with that of course.

I know, that's why I'm asking people to make a project page. You can see the project page of each map just by clicking on its name at the list in the first page. Maps with no video or images will by default get less votes.

And about more advertisement, the first page of the popularity system is the best ads. Once the Map of the Week gets to the first page, you will see how many people might come here.

edit: 1000 posts! yay! (I can't open any more posts now, lol)

@RodrigoAlves: Go

NOW your at exactly 1,000 posts.

Yes I can see the amount of hard work gone in to the OP, that's undeniable. However, I'm speaking from both sides, as a player and as a creator. I want to be able to vote in maps on merit, not simply because the other ones didn't have a video so I couldn't really see what they are about. It's more about telling people, look, you have submitted your map, good on you, but it's got a crappy description and no screenshots, so you are never going to win the vote. Save them from themselves in a sense and don't even allow them into the vote until they have taken the time to accurately represent their map.

Yes agreed about the advertisement as well, and being on the first page, however this isn't just about the players. Being on first page pop is great advertisement to _players_ but I think it still needs easier access than a forum post for organisers and creators. Forums are great for discussion, but votes, organisation and usability are seriously lacking at the moment. Please don't take that as an insult though as what you have done so far is very commendable. I just think the whole idea would benefit from it's own website and custom set up.

And I'm not just telling you to go do it. I'd be happy to help on that side of things, I've hobbied/worked in web design for over 10 years now.

i wish you could save replays while testing a map, i wanna make a vid for my map, but i wanna use a tuned-up version i'm working on (adding vehicles :D)
