No more FY at interlopers....

Show off your finished maps, models and other creations. Screen shots are a must!

At the end of the day they are the easy way out, the iceworlds and aim maps of our time have got the authors quick fame because for some reason people enjoy playing huge box maps with 2 light entities (yet they all complain when someone posts one on a forum) and it's just a no effort map as Wiggle said.

But, if they are so good why don't we see the likes of Dave J and Narby creating them? We don't because the maps are crap.

i think the thing with fy maps is you dont notice how shite they are until u start mapping urself and relise how little skill went in to it.

know what, ima make a fy map, and ill make it look good and ill it fun.
wait question, what exactly qualifies for an fy map? if you make something that could actually exist in real life, but its not a necessity for people to buy weapons, but you still can........ would that still be an fy map? even if there are no objectives other than kill the other people.

I agree, i dont personaly think that Fy Maps are bad...

I just think that the majority of people that do post get flamed...

Atleast dont post a remake of iceworld or poolday or something...
