I'm surprised that nobody has reviewed this map yet, here I go.

What this map does well:
I think it will be loads of shenanigans and fun, it doesn't really need a ref as long as the spawns are fixed. I've played this before and it is indeed loads of fun.

What this map doesn't do so well:
I think there needs to be spawns built in the map otherwise people will keep spawning in one boat/the air. Other than I see nothing wrong with it.

Should this map be accepted?
Yes

Extra Comments:
Thanks for suggesting the map, I'm sure it will fit on the server.

What this map does well:
Fun, excitment, and not stressful at all. Sure there can be pirates that try to jump on board, but it'll be a race for the TNT! :D
Sounds like a lot of fun to host and play.

What this map doesn't do so well:
Just need to create a spawn in the server before releasing it, but that won't be hard at all.
Should this map be accepted?
Should already have been. Yes.

WHEN WILL THIS BE ADDED.

What this map does well:
It's very creative, and much better looking then our current pirate/cannons/ship map named Gunships. The cannons also work better.

What this map doesn't do so well:
I don't think this map would do great in A&T for a number of reasons without major changes. There is no lobby, no place to choose teams and re-spawn and such. I also don't think there's many weapons like armor/swords/bows, and even if there were some, the boats are so far apart I doubt you could actually use them. I feel that this map is focused too much on the cannons, and this makes it have no set way of winning a battle. I guess it would be fun as a random map to do, but as a organized map for a large amount of players to play I don't think it would do great.

Should this map be accepted?
No

What this map does well:
It's a good looking map, you can see they spend some time in making that. Easy cannon load system and some good looks on the ships!

What this map doesn't do so well:
We already have a gunship map. This would just be the same. It might look better but I don't see any lobby, spawn area or place to assemble (didn't they show it in the map video?). I'm also re-making our current gunship map because the one we have now is too vague. This could mean we have 3 gunship maps, not very original in my opinion.

Should this map be accepted?
Neutral vote. I want to know what all the other ops think

What this map does well:
The map is somewhat a-like Gunships, but it looks so much better and has a new style to battle ships, The Cannon loader looks very easy to load which'll help for destroying their ship.

What this map doesn't do so well:
Downloaded the map and thought Oh wow this looks quite cool, I then found out every chest filled with TNT, No way to actually board each-others ship and there is no 'hidden' goodies that Disco claims to have added, All in all the game-play wouldn't be too great, not only that but there is no spawn or any team deciding platforms etc.

Should this map be accepted?
No

Extra Comments:
Unless this map was heavily edited, it wouldn't be a good one for A&T.

Unfortunately, this map did not fit the requirements for the server and thus, this submission has been Declined.
We felt that a Denial was necessary because:
  • We already have a very similair map on the server that does most important features slightly better
  • It's very fancy and has some nice technology, but it won't play too well (as mentioned above)

However, we still thank you for taking an interest in the server and submitting/suggesting a map!
