AQ2: Countryside

[WizardExt]

Hello fellow Quakers!

I have created a new map for the mod Action Quake 2 - Countryside
Download: wizardext.se/maps/countryside.zip




It's located out on the countryside. Abandoned houses. There are themes and landmark features in the map, to help the player navigate and call out locations; Barn, silos, antenna, garden, garage, graffiti. Overall subtle colors in the map. Yellow color coding on the landmark objects, to make them pop. It's a small map with the intention to be fun for all player types and weapons. Well suited for intense public games, clan matches and also smaller events; 2on2/1on1.

It took me about 4 months to create Countryside. All new textures. A long period of playtesting and careful tweaking.

This is my first map release using the Trenchbroom level editor. I warmly recommend it! If you like level editing, or want to try it out, give Trenchbroom a spin! For all my other previous released maps I used Worldcraft 1.6 and Gtk-/NetRadiant level editors.

Download and try it out! Feedback is always welcome. Hope you like it!

Nice screenshot. Akimbo and fog. Sets the mood.

Yes, I hope so as well. The AQ2 community is still going, but there is a lack of a community site. The two big ones (AQ2World and AQ2Suomi) are down at the moment. No forums to post things, so it's a bit tricky to announce/promote a new map properly.

But the map is up on the Pelitutka servers and can be voted. The map received some playtime earlier today, it was a lot of fun! As always with Quake 2.
