Minus the cheesy billboard, which really takes away from the feel of the great terrain you've made, it's a really neat close quarters map.

Rename it to dod_gamespy if you are going to have adds through the map . . . :rolleyes:

I think using poster from people that actually pays you to do so is very plump ... 9 may be your clans sponsor Xerent, but thats a deal between you and them, this actually makes me think less of them. You may may be moderator and a good mapper but you have crossed the tastefull line here....

I for sure isnt going to play such a map, not even try it. If now DoD is retail game there should be no commercials what so ever...

of course there are small 'ads' in anzio and stuff, but noone ever complains...

The plugs on Anzio are pretty subtle, as are most of the maps.

Relax guys, all I did was to spark the debate. I wanted to promote our sponsor, but we also need a debate about ads in maps. :)

Well promoting ads on a map shouldn't be done with huge billboards. I mean. You're hiding in a forest, the last thing you expect to see is a large billboard.

As long as it is done very subtle or even as an easteregg, I can live with it.

You know the FIFA games?? They sell the space on the virtual boards alongside the soccerfield to real companies. So you get ads in your game on those boards. Or even that America's Army game. It's an ad on itself for the US army (besides being a fun game :))

I think ads in an FPS are really over the top. It's taking on the integrity of the game itself. Or in this case: the integrity of the map. I mean, if a map says 'sponsored by this or that clan' or even the URL of this or that clan. What's a gamer gonna think about the mapmakers? That they are making maps that are easy for those clans to own on. We should be independent and neutral when making a map imho. Consider major gaming leagues like BFE. Would they consider to use maps that include an ad or an obvious URL advertising a specific clan? I doubt it.

So let's just be fair with ourselves and don't do this.

Too much ads already on the net anywayz

Ads as propaganda posters work I think, not too sure about the whole billboard, modern looking thing though.

dod_flash2 for example had propaganda type posters for dodhq and dod europe, I really think this works, as they "blend in" with the map :)

What do you need a overview for? It's ONE SMALL SQUARE.

:p

05-20-2003, 11:43 AM
So? Maybe you need to mark tactics and stuff... (I wonder who plays tactics on fun map... :D)

Faceman

The map is the size of my backyard, I doubt you'd have time to mark any spots on a minimap.

05-20-2003, 04:11 PM
i didnt even know they made ads for maps... Where are these?

It looks...like xerent likes TDM maps a lot, flash, then frenzy(i heard it was like TDM, but i have not played), and now this. I'll guess ill have to wait to play them...

There's always de_enterprise with CS...

At least...even though CS er, sucks...the Star Trek map fits the game a bit better...

hmmm...Axis soldiers in space...

I think it's important to point something out...just because you can...doesn't always mean you should ;)

Advertising in maps? What is this? cs_wolfenstein? It sure seems like someone wants DOD to be CS part deux...

And...to whomever made the gamespy comment...<applause>...that was one of my favorite comments in a while ;)

He may as well go full...er, "Steam" ahead (pun intended) and name his next map...
