Map reviews section?

[johnnyenglish]

I'm wondering whether we need a map review section where new maps (not just custom map makers maps) can be reviewed - good points, bad points.

Perhaps include a vote with each map

This might be a good way for server owners looking for fresh maps to decide whether the map is worth adding to their server.

Just a thought?

Nice idea, maybe we should also provide like a template of points to judge on.

lol - how do we do that?

Perhaps we should limit reviews to final release versions only?

Or perhaps it's better to review all releases - the review might be helpful to the map maker.

Make a pinned topic with the different aspects, people can copy that then.

We should limit non final versions to CMM maps, only CMM members will read them anyway.

Aspects could be like general look, layout, gameplay flow with some subcategories to give points on.

I don't know how to do those things, I'm not very good with computers and stuff.

Reviewing a mapper map would certainly attract them over to the custom map makers site -

I've just looked and the only recent FINAL maps are those by spazzattak, RIP and sirkitboard

WE can give points to each map having some standart basys, we'd judge each map at some aspects and point him for that. (e.g. 7/10, etc...)

Somethings we could judge:
- Game Flow
- Map Aspect
- Map Lighting
- Feeling while playing in it
