Guys, I Need Some Assistance

Rob

<div class="IPBDescription">HL2DM Map Reviews Site</div> Normally I wouldn't post something like this here, as it sort of rubs our rules wrong. I've posted my site going live to four different sites (VERC, Wavelength, PHL, and HL2.net) and none of them have given me a second look so far, though I'm still holding out on Wavelength for Bulk to come on line and check his PMs. But, damn it, I'll not have wasted nearly 100 hours of my time. I've worked too damn hard on this to back down now:

We are officially live at the moment, but no one knows this because these news sites would rather post more gun model renders. So my reasons for posting here are three-fold:

1: To let you all be aware of what we're trying to do, in absence of coverage elsewhere.
2: To let any map authors around here know that we exist so they might send us their work, which is SORELY needed right now.

and, most importantly,

3: I hope you guys will help me spread the word a little bit while also giving me feedback on the design, reviews, anything and everything about the site right now.

So, there you have it. What do ya think?

You should post a link in the mapping forum rob, I know a few of those guys have sourse maps up already, and most mappers like a critique, expecially a good one. I love the idea of this site, and I'll probably come and read a few of the reviews every now and then, and one day, if I ever map something worth reviewing, I might even submit it <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I like it. Reminds me of a cross between SnarkPit, the PHL MOTW, and the classic albeit sadly deceased Hornetking DM map review site.

I really hope it flourishes, with plenty of custom maps flowing in. Just wait for the content release that adds the new weapons and new maps - that'll really get the ball rolling.

In my experience, PHL generally takes 3-5 days to post any news, so don't sweat that one.

Perhaps you should get more reviews up than just the two hl2dm ones? heh.

We review HL2DM maps. There's only two official ones. And we want to do public playtests, which means people have to know about us.

I'd help and all that but I write for like 4 websites and work for a couple mods and I've got to learn how to drive and do homwork and all that. Good luck Robbeh!

Sorry for the necromancy, but incedentally, we're coming up on our first playtest. Here's the details:

Time: Thursday, Feb 17, 2005 @ 10pm EST ( GMT - 5 )
Server: HL2DM Nano-Lockdown ( 65.75.154.232:27019 )
Max Players This Test: 8-10

Map Cycle:
LoSystems (DM)
Diesel (DM)
Fly Me (TDM)

As you can see, this'll be a pretty small test. But just to let you know!

I should be able to make it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'm planning on learning how to make a HL2DM map soon, so I'll be sure to send that in once the first beta is complete.

Rob

You probably don't want to send us anything but the final product <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I'll be there.
