OFP:DR Multiplayer Mapping Contest*

With the recent release of Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising and a new TEK9 coverage team, we are pleased to announce that we will be hosting a Mapping Competition. This is designed to get the multiplayer gamer aware of maps and the gametypes on OFP:DR. We have made it so that this will be a win-win for the community. Firstly, the players will have some great new maps to try out, and as an incentive for the creation of great maps, there are 5 Razer Deathadders available for the top 5 maps coming out of the competition.

So what are we looking for:
Well anything really. At the moment we have 2 types of gametype; Annihilation and infiltration. So show off your skill at designing maps for these 2 gametypes, and maybe you could design maps better than the 4 new ones released with the DLC.

With there being a "remove AI script" that can be implemented, if you so wish to, you can design maps for a certain number of players such as 5v5 ranging all the way to 16v16. However, if you wish to design levels that cater for both player and AI control then that is perfectly fine.

Competition Information:
Competition start: Tuesday 10th November
Uploading possible: Monday 23rd November
Competition end: Sunday 29th November
Community voting starts: Monday 30th November.
Community voting ends: Friday 11th December.
Winners announced:Sunday 13th December.

So how do you start?
Well obviously the first step is to make the map itself. We will also need a small text file with the following details;
Your Name:
Map name:
Map Surroundings (ie give the reader a quick run-down of what setting they will be playing under):
Gametype it is suited for:
Number of players it is suited for:
Vehicles, if any?:

Then once that is all done, take some screeshots of your map, WINRAR or WINZIP all of the data and send it over to the portal as soon as we launch it. If you could name the WINZIP/WINRAR file as "NAME|MAPNAME" that would be great.

Good luck to all that enter!

***UPDATE***

If mappers know how to create gametypes then feel free to make a map for your gametype, whether it's ranging from Conquest or Search and Destroy etc. However the basis of the vote will be to do with the map and not the gametype. Aswell as this, please add details on installation instruction for your custom gametype in the WINRAR/WINZIP.
