Your map was my teams vote [KKomrade]. It was my clear favorite since the start. Thank you for your kind words and things, I wish we could've given more feedback, and I do blame myself for not providing more, but... due to circumstances out of my control, I could not invest myself into it more.

I wholeheartedly agree, the map contests need to be run by the community with support from relic, it was much smoother and much less of a head ache and I blame myself for thinking it would be the opposite, but there was only one way to find out.

Sadly a lot of great maps weren't given the opportunity to be greater (including the ones that won) and almost all of them have some sort of flaw. The big thing that I love is that Spacebus was active in giving feedback on the official forums (I believe) and is someone I greatly respect and admire, so its very cool to see that happening AND the fact that maps have an opportunity to get some polish before implementation. The only way that gets better if we had a way to do custom map automatch, then we could put them through the gauntlet before they hit automatch and avoid so many problems, but sadly I don't think the back end (from relic) can support that.

In the public eye I hope this contest was a success, despite what I've dealt with personally and I hope the seething hatred we received in the 1v1 contest aftermath is not revisited here by the community.

Every single map in the pool is being reworked to some context, whether or not relic fucks up the integration of these is something else entirely. This can be seen in several recent maps that were screwed up (multiple times), Halbe, Westwall, Pripyat Sector and more going back a few years.

Considering how they have handled the map contest so far (outright missing 1 feedback phase), I doubt we can look forward to very good things coming from them, if it even happens, without error. Not to say all the amazing people that have worked their asses off (for free) didn't try.

Splat and splines under neath the hedges to give them that "darker dirt" look, and make sure to raise the hedgerows slightly with the terrain, about .5 meters. Then use scrub other other branches to augment the hedgerows so they don't look like individual objects, but a set-piece that is held together.

I think there will maybe something when the finale maps are picked.
I mean there is nothing about the Strategy team, who took alot of time to look into 18 maps to cut them down to 9 , as well for example, etc.

Actually i'm happy, when the Mapcontest is over and we have really 3 new good maps for 2vs2 in automatch

That's my point, they don't give credit where credit is due. Where is hooligans thanks? Hes helped too?

Nothing for 1vs1 ?

It was being worked on, and due to all the delays with the contest, they seem to have forgotten. There is another project in the background as well that will be implemented.

I have messaged the devs and will see what they say about 1v1 maps being added as it was originally part of the plan. We shall see.
