And whats wrong with that? If they spend less on maps they can spend it on other stuff, besides if you read all the other posts on this thread you will see that the community likes the idea.

I'm downloading NS as I type so I can learn how to map for it. I haven't done any mapping in a LONG time just because I don't have any motivation, but money is a pretty good motivator.

I'd do for portfolio, not money. I might try them and get back to my first mapping phase (which was NS)

Something like this can go on your Resume, not just a portfolio. A serious opportunity, and you can make a little $$ in the process.

I hope NS2 actually has some gameplay changes to go along with the engine. This contest screams custom content.


Think space station. Halo2 orbital MAC cannon architecture. Form of a cross with a hub on each end, middle is round with an Oasis type feel, a small greenhouse like area with water and tress... the roof is glass and you can see off into space where you find fighters flying over and wreckage of another ship... the sun is in your eyes this point orbit. Then you notice all the growth from the enemy, as it leads down one of the 4 hallways with rooms surrounding it. You make you way down to a circled room with labs surround it on 2 levels with a flight of stairs to your left. From the middle you take note of something moving in one of the labs. You go in for a closer look. And your killed opening the door by one of those stealth things.

Don't forget the environment. Going along on the example, you could have a water fall in the oasis and it makes noise... your on a space station at war... thing can blow up.... alarms will go off... lighting will flicker at times.... things will be on fire... the station will shake from a blast... let the players finish it with the combat.

I can't write stories but a map like that would be neat. Concept art.
I'll laugh forever.

This is a really good idea. So cool it made me post, and I haven't posted in a month. Plus I've always liked NS2. It'll be sweet to get my hands on their custom content.
