The life of a map maker is a hard one at best. Much time invested, little credit rewarded! Think of the thousands of maps that come and go without an eyebrow raised, they're in custom map heaven now, and we at crossfire would like to add to the population of custom map heaven! With the upcoming Crossfire Lan 2 scheduled for April 13/14/15, we've decided to host a map competition for both ET & CoD2, with the winning maps included in the 5 map pool at the lan finals and the winning map designers taking home over 100 euros worth of SteelSeries products.
The schedule is as follows, maps final entry date is Sunday March 11, with exhibitional matches during the week and competing teams needing to test the map as each clan leader will vote for the winning map which will be announced ten days later on Wednesday 21 March.

- Rules
:: Competing entries must be in March 11 at 12 noon GMT
:: Competing entries must be geared towards competitive play
:: The maps must feature these two images in some place on the map, CF Image & Steelseries Image
:: All maps must not have been in any competition, nor older than six months. (Competition means - Clanbase, TWL or any international equivalent, or a match where the outcome is of any significance, be that an exhibition match or cup final. The goal of the tournament is to promote new maps that people currently have no opinion of)
:: You cannot modify current maps, i.e. TE versions. (
:: Multiple entries are allowed
Are multiple entries allowed btw?
EDIT: And are there two prizes (CoD2 + ET) or just one?
Yes you can enter
Yes winners in both games get prizes
it can be hard when you have different opinions, but in general 2 people could probably do more in just a couple weeks than 1, and thus make a better map
flame me if i totally miss the point :[
Send me some details of your concept and I might look at mapping it some time (probably won't, but if it's good you never know)!
Edit: I've given it some thought and hereby challenge gtv`arni to enter the competition with an altered version of supply, featuring the CF and Steelseries logos. :)
Otherwise I'd have three good entries :D
See what happens :)
This appears to conflict with the rules?
"All maps must not have been in any competition, nor older than six months"
Stop confusing me please!!!
*edit* just seen the shity logo ! piss to replicate in ps ffs :)
The winner is picked by a vote from the clanleaders of the clans playing at Crossfire LAN.
btw what about sometimes in future Contest with editing old maps as you say TE versions etc.. i think that could be good too :)
that was already like 3 years a go tho
:!!!
It's not really big, can move the spawns back though
This is the first phase, after that their will be a fight for the cp inside a villa and it's garden and after another plant obj.
Allies spawn at the blue thingie and the Axis in the brown building at the right
dyna can be planted at that wnb wall, you can throw in the dyna from a hole in the house next to it but you can't jump through
tankrace ? :>
I finished that one long time ago and it ain't a real competition map imo.
nice idea btw, ads in maps, i love it <3
more of this pls
gl to the participants, tho i the voting system sux
sd=skill
SD = bug & overplayed & gay, offc
it should replace gr!
And 100 € of "prize" is not a prize, but even less than a sad joke. Especially because you have to implement their logos which is a HUGE advertising effect.
I think Ifurita once said he needs at least 100 hours for a new map, and he was one of the best mappers for ET (and sadly got driven out of it by the comp community). For my money that doesn't even include playtests of which you need several, add 20-30 hours for each of them.
Good luck guys... if you r in desperate need of comp maps, maybe think about why ;-)
Is the 100€ prize even the incentive? The map gets played in one of the premier competitions, with thousands of people downloading & using it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Ifurita's biggest gripe was people not giving new maps a chance - to martyr him yet belittle this seems a little odd, no?
