Compettion Room-related news thread

This is where news like new maps, scores, etc. is gonna go.

Anyways, we have 2 new maps today, both by me.

First, Mountain Pass, which has actually been on my Photobucket account for a while now XD The name is subject to change since it's a very un-original name for a map.

Second is Shield Reef. I have a feeling this one'll be tougher than most of my other maps. As for name I have no idea why I called it that XD

Does anyone come to this forum anymore?

For those that do, tst5381 brought it to my attention that winning a map against the CPU by HQ Capture every single time in the quickest time possible takes zero real skills.

So now there's a second high-score table for every map: One is for HQ Capture, the second is for Rout wins.

In other news...Diamond Map is gone. Deleted. Destroyed. Eradicated. IT'S A HORRIBLE MAP THAT DESERVES DEATH DOOM AND DESTRUCTION! Get it?! If you had a video of the map then you might as well throw it out. Bleh.

Finally, RULE CHANGE! Screenshots are no longer suffice as proof of your score: you need a video of, at the very least, the final turn of the battle. Sorry, that's how it works now.

There IS some degree of skill in HQ Captures, but they're just cheap all the same. Casualties' influence on Technique could stand to be toned up instead of letting 2 of your 3 units or even any number of units die and you get 150 in Technique anyway, and there's always adding a new rank stat just to rub salt on the wound.

Yeah lol

Alright, update time. For once.

First, a new map: Sock Island, by qzecwx. Play it. Win it. Post scores.

Second, the individual pages for each map had an overhaul for aesthetic purposes. Yay for tables within other tables.

o well, this means i can no longer participate in this D:, since i don´t really know how to make the videos(i´m a noob at most computer things) and i´m too lazy to google it,lol
guess i´ll stick to posting some maps for war room and whatnot

Hey no one ever said scores wouldn't be accepted without proof. I just highly recommend it.

Anyways, update time! First order of business: Small Steps is gone. I hate that map. It must DIE! Erase your videos! Pretend it never existed! :C

Next...maps have been organized into 4 categories. Versus and Deployed should be self-explanatory. Multiplayer maps have two or three teams going against one or two enemy teams. I even made a new map for it: Blue Star. Bad name, interesting map! You can control both armies yourself, or play it with another human, OR have the CPU controlling one army. Can you stand having a horrible AI partner?! In any case, be sure to note which CO played for which teams. All players will have their names on the scoreboard.

The fourth and final category is Variety. These maps are so weird they just don't fit into the other categories - Blue Moon Factory is a prime example, but I made another map to go with it: Metal Gear Lander. This map breaks tradition and is played in FOW, and you have to sneak your Lander past enemy units.

Next up...all score submissions are going into one thread from now on. We're better off that way.

The forum itself also changed slightly...just look to your left. As forumotion gets more awesome, so does the forums it hosts, heh.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST! We now accept scores obtained in Days of Ruin/Dark Conflict! Hopefully the maps are tougher there!

There is now a scoreboard for maps in that ROM hack I posted! Get your units ready!

I feel bad for all the recons in MGL. They are doomed.
