I looked at DB-Hex a little while ago, and I have to say it's one of the best around. It looks good whilst offering high framerates, and the gameplay is quite different from that of a standard cube map.

I had half a mind to put it in the Ownage Map Pack without a moment's thought. However, I realised this was simply a biased opinion, so I thought I would get a more public opinion on the map. So, tell me. Is DB-Hex worthy of ownage?

If you haven't played the map before, you can get it here:

For you people who like to see what it is that you're being told to download,
you can check out some screenies of the map here:

Well, I'm honnored that Hex is even being considered. I think Hex is my second best map behind Peaceful Night. Player just aren't ready for Peaceful Night yet. Hex was a bitch to build. Three total restarts and many mini restarts before I got it right. I think it turned out well and I had a blast playing the beta online.

MidNight is just behind Hex in my opinion. I think people will enjoy this map even more than Hex because it's a mid size map with a new layout that plays well both volley only and normal. I could have already submitted it but I'm looking to get some feedback from my test server with the beta running. It's hard to get good feedback. I also submitted the beta to pcgamemods but they are slow at times getting maps up and I might not wait and just release the finial.

I do love watching people play Small Enclosure these days. They play it so much better. Players are getting use to the once hated angles I put in my maps. I think people are ready to play and enjoy my maps. I hope this will also boost people trying, playing, and enjoying other peoples map's that go beyond the simple cube. I also hope other mappers will come up with some interesting maps to move deathball past the cube. Deathball needs more maps, different styles, more servers and more players (affected by the first three).

Armagon, thanks for the nice words.


EDIT: MidNight (the real version) was submitted to pcgamemods the morning of August 11.

i voted for "put it in".

Feepback:
(+) goal frame, at least the inner side, not all flat
(+) nice roofs
(+) new unique shape

(-) no detail or variety: walls and floor too boring

Well so far, with votes from those that do care about this map pack, there is a three vote lead for having DB-Hex in. I'll wait until the end of this week before I make any final decisions.

i can't believe that 2 tards vote for "this whole map pack idea suck", imo, it's a very good idea, and i hope many admins gonna put it on their server :p


Let's play db in other way than cube, nov, cube, nov .......

or on more cases: Cube Cube Cube Cube Cube SmallCube VO omg n0000b VO!!!1one Cube Cube Cube Cube...

So far, out of the 14 people interested in this pack, 8 have voted for DB-Hex to be in.
Chances of it being in are high at the moment.

make it 9 for inclusion, i like hex.

cheers twigster

You can now also play Hex and all my other maps on "UnrealMachine.com's UT2003 Deathball 1.8 server".

The true test of a map is online play. Many people didn't like small enclosure. Too plain and boring in looks, funny angles, ect... It gets more play time than any of my other maps. Now many people seem to like it and enjoy playing it. Small Enclosure is a looked at in a different light when played on a server full of people.

I'm glad Panda is considering making a custom/new map only server. I hope he does it.

I don't think I'll need to wait until the end of the week to see that this map is going to be in.

Congratulations Twigstir, that is two of your maps in the pack. :p

Thanks, Armagon.

Hehe.
