Your favourite map(s) in 2010?
10 releases in 2010. Quake is dying! But worry not as Quaddicted is rising:
Almost 200k zip files were downloaded from the (SP) filebase (100k in 2008, 120k in 2009).
Close to 20k of those were from Quake Injector users.
Total of 1.8 terabytes served (counting everything).
200k “visitors”, that’s 50k more than last year.
As previously, take these numbers with a good grain of salt, logs and their analysis are not accurate at all. Also many factors play in. And to make everything worse I totally forgot to eliminate bots and spiders from those numbers.
Now for the annual poll!
The order is randomly shuffled list. There probably still is a bug that when you click on the links, marking the just visited map with a check mark. It works fine in the world’s greatest browser.
You have 2 votes. If you vote multiple times, your votes will be deleted.

My favourites were Grendel’s Keep and Hrim’s. For some reason I did not vote for Hrim but for Red Slammer though. Well, that one was great too.

surprised to see only one other person voted for gateway to hell, but happy to see my other vote conflagrant rodent is in first place. nice to see the site stats, spirit. surprising that there weren’t any episodes this year, but that definitely won’t be the case for 2011 ;)

Dr.shadowborg’s map is missing

Nope, Dr. Shadowborg’s mod would not fit this list.

Thanks for posting the poll, Spiirt. I voted for Hrim and distrans, too. Of course I expect everyone else to vote for my levels… ;)
Actually thought there were more SP releases in 2010… Hopefully this year.
I don’t see why Hellsmash/Stormbringer wouldn’t fit. Apart from some modified and some new weapons and monsters, it’s still pretty much a regular base map.

Of course I voted for your level (Red Slammer) negke!! :)
And yeah I had the feeling that there was more levels last year as well. Well from the talk at Func_ it looks like a lot of levels will be out this year, I will try to get two or three out myself!

I would vote Conflagrant Rodent for the best (and the second place would be a tie between Grendel’s Keep and For Love of Evil). I refrain from doing so however, since I still haven’t played The Gateway to Hell, Runic Recycling, Elements and Zeal & Fury.

the gateway to hell was my favourite. I found it both excellent in game-play as well as visual style – very nice overall.
As someone who doesnt map but more enjoys the hard work by others, it has been a little sad at how little has been done of late. I sure wish I had the talent, skills and patience of the mappers on this site – I have the ideas, but not the skills.
If any mappers read this, id love to see even more quoth stuff, especially that which goes in a more pure Lovecraftian style. Quake hasnt fully explored that visual area completely yet – Quoth certainly expanded it but I could see more done with it (especially if you mix what was done in The Anomoly with more hardcore lovecraft stuff). I’d like to see monsters like Cthonians, Shoggoths, Mi-Go and Deep Ones added to the game.

[...] 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 [...]
