Deathmatch Revival: Doomers, I need you!
For a while now, I've wanted to collaborate with other mappers and get some more solid, oldschool-style deathmatch levels put together. In recent years, DM seems to have fallen greatly in popularity, and I want to do anything I can to get people back in the killing feilds. COOP and Survival are great - but there's nothing like pitting 2 marines against eachother.

We're all filled up!
I have built 3 maps for this project so far, which you can download here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?6m5jvp7u1nkhrxjWhat I'm aiming for with this community effort are maps that [obviously] play well and look nice, but aren't overcrowded with 10 million unnecessary sectors or full of clashy texturing. This is a project where all mappers, new and old, are invited to put their ideas forward, collaborate with others, and construct some balanced DM zones for us all to enjoy!
You may contribute multiple maps if you'd like, but as a reccomendation, put more love and care into just 1 or 2 maps - You'll be more pleased with the results. In total, this pack should end up at ~20 maps, after all is said and done.

The expectation here above all else is balance; appearance is very secondary, and other mappers will be able to assist with texturing and eye-candy, if you wish. Gameplay issues like Blue Armor on BFG on Soulsphere are a big no-no, unless they're nearly impossible to grab. Make the players really earn their frags :)
I'm looking for all and any mappers to join in, so i'll be posting around on the other Doom forums as well. The more, the merrier. [You'll find a more detailed thread over at Doomworld.]
I really hope to see some interest generated for this - If I don't get deathmatches in on a daily basis, I start getting an itch, and I know I'm not the only one. Sign up now and show us what you've got!
