Everyone likes Quaddicted contributor #1 negke and the same applies to his mapping work. Almost every fourth participant in the poll gave his/her vote to Red Slammer. Runner-up is ORL’s Conflagrant Rodent. Congratulations and thanks to all mappers for providing us with endless entertainment!

Well that’s 2010…a year with a small quantity of maps but some definite gems. I’d say negke knows how to map well. :)
However…I have the feeling we’ve already seen the best map of 2011…
But only time will tell…I’m not trying to say there’s nothing to look forward to either.

There were so many maps last year that were great so I didn’t vote. There were at least 4-6 that I played several times … Slammer, ORLs, Madfox’s, the Remake Quake one.
Of all the great maps released last year, I have to say what made Red Slammer especially remarkably was that it was just stock Quake.
Red Slammer was a deep and intelligently designed and crafty map — something you don’t see a lot of with id1 Quake maps. Trap shooters, maddenly sneaky secrets, very creative use of Negke’s id progs tricks.
[I did feel that last year's body of single player maps were each so remarkable that it did feel unfair to try to pick a "best".]

Thanks to all the voters, glad you liked my map. I only wonder why mappi2 seems to have got less attention/interest. Poorly timed maybe. Good to see no map came away empty-handed in this poll. Let’s hope 2011 will see more releases. GG

I actually liked mappi2 more than mappi :F
Still, both great maps and congratulations on winning! Can’t wait for mappi3.

Didn’t vote since I had barely played any of them. Yes, yes, shame on me. I’ll get round to it eventually! Really did enjoy Red Slammer a lot myself from those I did play.

Well, I’ve played the remaining maps, if a little late for voting. I’d still go for Conflagrant Rodent as the best of the bunch – however, Runic Recycling follows close as the runner-up, and the third place would be a tie between Grendel’s Keep and For Love of Evil.
