    Is it just me, or does it seem that IW is letting the public develop maps as a 'contest' so they don't have to?

    Board Meeting:

    "The players want new maps, but we don't want to spend any development time/money making them as that will take away from the new Hello Kitty Island Adventure project!"

    "Lets have a contest! They make the maps, we give 'em some shit lying around the closet from E3, and we have a new map pack!"

    "Good idea Jenkins!"

    Lets have our own contest between the members and that way...we all win...we can put ALL the maps on our servers!!! or at least one server...yeah..i was thinking, are we going to have a server dedicated to mods and maps that will be unranked??

    oh yeah... one thing though Tankbuster... it will be unranked.
    Weapons will be weaker... unless we find a good mod... or we'll have to tweak the settings for weapon damage.

    @Tankbuster: It's over-rated.

    Let up load to a server some custom maps with the traditional Hardcore settings (minus those darn helos, please!)

    I have already configured a custom "Modwarfare" mod that has no helos and still has the Hardcore settings from our hardcore server. The only downside is that the ranked "custom" classes still do not work. But, you can give tyourself a custom loadout with any configuration (primary gun/attachment, pistol/secondary gun/attachment, perks and special grenades). Oh, and I removed the noobtubes as well... lol.

    I can up this to one of our servers and place some custom maps and such.

    Who cares about ranked. I think we will have a good setup when we can get custom maps, a good mod, and custom stats rolling like we had for COD2.

    We shall see.

    peace.

    Sounds good to me. I'm fine with AWE/extreme or whatever. I just think having a server with custom maps and a few tweaks to the game would be great.
