This map sucks! It's never been used in serious competitive play. It's the ultimate newb fest, virtually the Sandtrap of Quake 3. People get confused by it because Quake 3 is considered one of the best competitive fps games but within the community itself, it's only popular in newbie ffa games. On top of that, it will play far, far worse in Halo because in the grand scale of Quake, the BR would be considered a long range weapon while all the weapons in Quake except for the rail are short/mid range weapons.

If you want a good Quake map to remake, look towards q3dm6, aerowalk, q2dm1, ztn. These are all legit competitive Quake maps that have the possibility to play well in Halo.

For anyone who's confused, it's DM17 from Quake 3 Arena.


I have to lean towards what Zanno said. Honestly, nobody should be even thinking about thinking about re-makes right now. We have a whole ****ing editor to work with - one that's actually GOOD! Now the maps we make are limited only by our creativity. If we can't do anything besides remake old hat, that's sad. I know I'm going to be working on a really complicated, balanced, multi-tiered sketchup for the big day.

Who ever makes lockout to perfection is a god among men

**** I was so calling dibs on the dm17 remake. Bastard.



Anyways yeah its not a competitive map but I would be fun as **** for small sniper FFAs

EDIT: @ Zanno: Although it isn't a competitive map it is still one of the most recognized and well known quake maps if not the most save for campgrounds (dm6). I'd say its more like the boarding action or blood gulch of quake 3, no one likes sandtrap.

I find it really funny how everyone was *****ing about sketchups being posted a while ago, so we made 2 more threads. Now that we have these threads though, noone says a word about someone posting a sketchup... interesting.

I am not saying that i disapprove of posting sketchups, cause I dont. I just dont like it that people suddenly dont care now that we have the threads.

[The_Raging_Beast]

Pulse I tried saying something and nobody listens to me so I gave up trying. I noticed all the threads but I decided not to get into it :???:

[agent_windex]

Cant wait :)

[HikaruX]

Would anyone like to take this on as a side project or co forge this with me? Its not going to be very difficult, but will be fun :)

Also I'm making Altar in the crypt :-p

Isn't that DM17?
If I recall correctly, the only use for that map in the first place was practicing railing

Isnt that somthing? SaLoT could have posted this and it would have been locked in a couple of minutes. Even a MOD posted in here and its not locked.

This thread belongs in the "Sketchup" thread or the "What are you working on" thread.

Treat everyone fair mods.

I've never really seen it used in any of the European Quake tournaments. The only time I've seen it played was on Youtube, there's a video of Fatal1ty and Stermy. I guess they just picked the map because it plays fast and easy for the non-gamers to understand whats going on...

My point exactly. I remember playing 1v1 on it occasionally to practice my maneuvering and railing, as if you were moving fast and got hit by a rocket or rail chances are you fell of the map.

It'd probably work well for a snipe FFA warmup in H3
