Map Battle 17: Make Me a Love Song

Postby BaRRaKID on Tue Apr 10, 2007 12:23 pm

Its time to get back to the regular battles. To try and get more people into the battles i decided to give two themes, so that we have something for everyone. You will have to choose one of the themes, or if you're feeling inspired you can use both on the same map, but you can only make ONE MAP, and of course you won't get more points for doing it.
So the themes for this month are:

Theme 1 - Recreate a Song

Make a map based on a song title, or lyrics. You have to specify the name of the song, and part of the lyrics if needed, so that we know where the inspiration came from.

Theme 2 - Love Scene

This site needs more love, so for this theme you will have to create a romantic environment. It doesn't have to be a room, it can be a outside environment, and it doesn't have to have "love" written on it, it just needs to be romantic. It also doesn't need to be prety, make it about your own interpretation of love.

The battle will last for 3 weeks, which means it will end at May 1st Midnight (24:00h) GMT
There will be a time extension to the next weekend if needed, in that case the battle will end at May 6th Midnight (24:00h) GMT

I will also start to anounce the next battle dates and give a hint on one of the themes, so that if you don't like this one you know what to expect on the next and wayt for it.
The next battle will start at May 12th, and the theme will be something regarding destruction.

The general rules can be found here(click) as usual

Hope this changes make more people join in the battles, time to start mapping now, good luck everyone :)

im currently working on another map for sourceforts and i only have a week of holidays to finish it, but im thinking i should pause that and get in on this one, dedicating it to a certain girl...

thats it i HAVE to do it now :)

EDIT: oh, and I automatically win, for being the first one to fully get in the spirit of the love theme by dedicating it to someone :P

errr...

no.

how the fuck would you know my motive?

I was more going for this as something to MAKE me do it (because i'm so shy *awww*) lol and the prize of nothing is a bonus.

EDIT: to make things more clear, I'm going to show it to her afterwards, and the real prize is gonna be when her heart melts.

Would it be cheating if I opened the cs_milita map in hammer and change all the textures to some sorts of metal textures? (Get it? get it? Metal Milita.. harr harr)

anyways.. I'm in :> maybe I'll find an episode of MTV Cribs with Barry whites house and map that. I bet just his closet is way more romantic then Mr Happy's spaghetti scene :lol:
