New map [AQ2]

[Flunx]

A long time since I've posted anything in here now :-)

I noticed some other guys were making Action Quake maps here as well so I thought, 'what the heck, I'll post some of my work to see what you all think'. It's always nice to receive feedback, both good and bad, so that we all can improve as mappers.

So here it goes. This is my latest work. It's called Dusty and this is the story behind the map:

After I noticed QuArK had received yet another update and getting allot of
inspiration from the other AQ2 mappers I decided to get started on another map.

It's a very small old deserted town worn by time and corruption (Those damn pizza guys!)
The hotel, pizza place and surrounding apartments have been abandoned and is now
left alone, decaying and gathering dust.
It's time for somebody to get the juices flowing in the town again.
The scenario is set for some serious pistol-packin' actionquake fights.

Hope you enjoy it!

Suggested player load is 4 (i.e. 2on2), but may also be used with more players.

P.S. there's allot of mapping activity going on in the Scandinavian AQ2 scene with maps looking better than ever before.

Hi Flunx, havent heart from you in year...glad you are here..

Well, you map is not my kind of "the thing"..sorry to say...a lot of doors which can not open, a lot of building you cant get into, nowhere to hide and only about 100 meters ground to run about in, and not in a circle or different levels, you are bound to turn back same way as you came from...
Hope you dont mind me saying this; but even with my short comming of knowlegles to AQ2, I hate it...
But I have alway hatet these kind of maps, and iam sure its becourse I dont play AQ2...
I really do like some details you have made, but still, its not my kind of map.
Iam doing my first, real map right now, so I guess, iam going to "HAVE IT" for this statement, when I release it.
But who cares, I rather be honnest, than low life...
Liked you first one much more; Halls of Ser..

Until later...

Hey Flunx! Thanks for stopping by.
The map looks great!
Glad to see you still mapping.
Hope you can stop by more often.

Awesome map dude, a little bit tight, but isn't that just splendid for us shitgunners to frag

I specially liked the detail in the broken room, as other places, don't see that too often in aq2 maps. And the sign with the moving hand, great idea!
Only one thing that bugs me, the steps are too steep!

Well Wixen doesn't play aq2 so he doesn't know what the hell he's saying!

And talk to some aq2 server admins to put it on a server!

Hehe..well I couldent get in the toilet in your map either (there is the door thinggy again...) ;D
And I troully know absolute nothing about AQ2, you are so right. But then again, I told you my true mening..

Iam sure, if I got the time to learn, see, feel, I will love all (allmost) AQ2 maps...

Ps. There was absolutely no unfriendly intent in the post i made, just my oppinion as a slave of Quake2...
Keep up the mapping Flunx

Excellent! Thanks for the feedback. It's most appreciated.
I'm really glad that you gave me a honest reply Wixen1.

It's cool to see what vanilla quakers have to say about the map

Maybe I'll make another quake2 map some day. If only one could buy time... *sigh*

[whirlingdervish]

its a little like CounterStrike... I like the dusty, desert atmosphere..
The pizza guy is definitely cool.

Haven't played AQ2 so I can't say much about the gameplay..

Thx for the post. Keep the Cafe' kickin boys!!!!
