Various Mappers - Unreal Playground
Game Types: (56 maps) AS (5) CTF (26) DM (19) DOM (6)
Contest held during November-December 2008
Map pack released January 2009 (Unreal Playground)
The 2008 version of Blito's 300k contest used the same rules as the 2006 contest however this time around did not attract as many mappers. That said, some of the participants cranked out a crazy number of maps:
Blito3 himself contributed 13 maps!
JohnnySix added 10 (or 12),
myself (FraGnBrag) built 9,
and TexasGtar another 6.
Including all the other mappers there was a total of 56 new maps!
As with the 2006 and 2007 contests, some are quite good while others, erm, less so :) Fun contest though, which was the whole point really :)
Unlike the other 300k contests, this one never made it to the voting stage so there are no "winners". So I suppose we all won in the end... Note that this map pack doesn't contain any readme files or screenshots (I think it was just zipped and uploaded in a hurry) so I have provided the info here, for whomever is interested.
I was going to indicate my "top ten" maps (in lieu of a vote outcome), but since that could offend some of the participants I decided not to do that. I might be biased anyways, so it's probably for the best!
What I will say is this: Some of these maps are surprisingly fun as hell, there is a lot of variety of gameplay ideas, and then there are a few you just won't believe are only 300K! Have fun!
