Well, where can I start with this map? It's a wild-west styled shoot em up game. If I could sum this game up like I would a novel, It'd go along the lines of this; 'this is not a mod do be put down lightly, it should be thrown with extremely great force'.

In all honesty, it only really gains points for originality, as the rest of the game play could do with massive improvements.

There is one game play mode with a very linear objective of killing X amounts of people to earn Y amounts of gold. It sounds interesting, but it's not.

There is no terrain, minus a few cliffs, and the map, for the most part, goes unexplained. You're basically dropped into the game and it says '10000 GOLD 2 WIN'.

Well, there's the first bug. It's 1000 gold to win, if it was 10000 I would've shot myself due to boredom.

The 'shoot' trigger has no cooldown, so the game comes down to 'fastest finger first', usually the host I should add as he suffers no lag. The jump feature is, for all intent and purpose, useless and sits there as a side button to press when you're at the stage of wrist slitting because the game is about as repetitive as watching grass grow.

More on the shoot trigger, though, I'm not exactly sure how it works. You get up close to someone and it doesn't hit them, instead it fires behind them. On that note, I'll switch to the reload feature. That works fine. WHAT A RELIEF.

Basically, the premise for the map is there. It could work, but it doesn't. You need to put in a lot more work to get this approved, I'm afraid. You could start by writing a legible description, too.

Ey, Im Viikuna. sry for weird name.

Shooting is 3 dimensional, so its hard to learn for starters.

This should be in map testing, not in map submission , I think.
Map is still under construction so I dont think it should be in here.

Dont call jump useless, man ! You can jump down the cliffs, it is usefull ( at least IMO ).

It states 1000 , not 10000. You must have been mistaken.

I agree that map needs more information for new players.

Help us to improve this by giving more comments and move this to map testing, please.

Thanks.

This is a copy pasta from my review at Hiveworkshop; unless he's updated the map since 5 minutes ago, it says 10000. I'll apologise if he has updated, but the map still sucks.

Oh, also; does 3 dimensional mean you can dodge bullets like Agent Smith from point blank range...?

I'm not sure about Map Dev, either. A quick trip to the Garbage Can is more likely.

You can shoot over target´s head, and I think thats what happened. (Unless you prove otherwise). If you do, I will start to investigate this problem.

Wow, what a description. You have 24 hours to fill in tons of info, make some screenshots, tell about the maps mechanics and if it's a WIP map, it will be thrown into graveyard...

Can you move this to map testing ey?
I tell Lillerinmuna to add some more information, but like Ash stated this map is so simple that that covers pretty much everything.

EDIT. Ok I see that it really needs more information about the map :/

Don't you mean that my review was amazing, and you will flower me with goods at the next possible opportunity?

EDIT: Or you'll work, quite a bit, on your map whilst putting as much diligence and hard-work as possible?

Your review was aye, but you can allways improve it ofc. :)

PROS.
1) You find bad things really well, and you have good arguments.

CONS.

1) Play map more than one time. ( Correct me, if Im wrong )

2) List good things as professionally as you list the bad things.



Map will be improved ( Unless we are really lazy )

EDIT. I tested shooting at melee range, it works fine.

I'll correct you then, I played it 3 times :p

And, without the means to sound offensive, what good things? As a critic, I aim list both good and bad points, but at this stage the map just seems pretty rushed, unprofessional and buggish.

I was talking about your reviews in general.
You gave our Harry Potter map 3/5, and you never told us what good you saw in it, unless 'its not just an another fanboy rip-'. ( I dont even know what that means, I am a fanboy after all. )

IMO it is as good as this Desert map. So why 3 point difference?

some EDIT. Map is simple, yet playable. Its real western style: fastest guy wins.Is there something bad about it?

And can you please tell us WHAT exactly seems pretty rushed, unprofessional and buggish, so we can fix those things?

About terrain: I like it that way. Massing doodads wont make terrain good IMO.
