|  | Favorite Map Names?

Posted by underworldfan [172.155.234.146] on 2003/01/23 18:11:25

Map Names...are they important or totally irrelevant?
Anyway the real point is to list your favorite map names:
Off the top of my head (of course there are so many) here are some of my favorite (quake 1):
True Love Waits [zer1m6]
Push Underground [czg07b]
Bestial Devestation [Damaul6]
subgud [czg07a]

Hmm

I thought "s4wk" and "Penile Devastation" were clever and neat titles. Also, "Shut Up, RPG!" was cool but expected.

Capital Punishment

Can't think of anything else right now, but there is quite a number of cool map names.

Last cup of sorrow.
Also, 'A love long lost' which was the map I was working on when I got hired, so it's not finished, and it never will be either.

"licking the third rail"
"when I'm God, everyone dies"
..both recent pushplay Cube SP speedmaps and both titles cracked me up. Good maps, damn tight health supplies backing up the titles though.

Megaton
#19 posted by metlslime [12.231.113.167] on 2003/01/27 00:37:21
is not cancelled, it's just indefinitely waiting on other projects to be finished.
It's too cool to cancel.
I hope.
Fuck, i have such a backlog of levels to finish.
I Guess It Is Fairly Standard...
#20 posted by ELEK [24.50.194.71] on 2003/01/28 10:12:42
But the map is above and beyond standard....perhaps that is what called the name to mind.

No, I must have the wrong map/name, I have all the mexx maps. The name reminded me of some map I remembered, that I had never been able to find/download. It was a DM map, using Q3 textures, around the time of Quake 3's release. I only ever seen screen shots of it, and the few links that I found way back then were all dead. It may not have ever been released, but it sure looked good. And know it seems I can't even recall it's name, oh well, lost forever. Thanks anyway

My faves, of the ones listed so far:
True Love Waits
Another Perfect Day
I like them because they sound nice, but also the irony is very good, i.e. your true love is the Nemesat, which playing the Zer character it probably would be =).
I like some of the dark and evile names but there are a bit blatant. Something a bit subtler is cooler. Numb Nimbus for example. Penile Devastation is cool as well. I don't like any of the "trying to be funny" names that nitin likes though.

I don't like any of the "trying to be funny" names that nitin likes though.
I agree with this, I like map titles that have something to do with the map, rather than just silly phrases a mapper came up with/barrowed from some source.

I always liked 'The Place of Two Deaths' which is the inspiration for my upcoming title, 'The Death of Two Places'.

#60 posted by R.P.G. [24.136.235.190] on 2003/12/02 19:02:40
"The Bad Place" is the name of a Dean Koontz novel published in 1994. I'm not sure that counts as a map name, even though it was used as a map.
I wonder if Koontz is aware that he inspired a whole sub-category of Quake map names.
I Wonder
