Metal Gate Deathmatch DM Map-2 - GrandmasterJ

 


    This map's long winded and confusing name is brought to you by Counter-Strike: Nexon, a spin-off of Counter-Strike that focuses on players vs. zombies. Weapons, enemies, and level design are all taken from Nexon and combines into something not quite PVP.

Map review of Metal Gate Deathmatch DM Map-2

(originally posted on SCMapDB)

    This is a map ported over from Counter-Strike: Nexon, a zombie/pvp game with a wide variety of weapons and player models. This particular map is set up like a MOBA, players spawn in two separate spawn zones (but the map is set to deathmatch so players in the same spawn can kill you) and run down corridors to get to a central arena. In this map there is a large green crystal monster with one million health named Get Score! We spent forever killing it and nothing happened. In the corridors there are some infinitely respawning zombies that are very easily killed. Shooting the green crystal thing and killing zombies gets players lots of score. Killing another player nets the murderer one measly point.

    Like other Nexon maps this one has custom weapons and well textured and fun map design. This map set has two maps and both have the same type of gameplay but different map layouts, quasar has more verticality.

    I think the map is a fun idea, I can see a lot of players having fun on this map competing for score. I like the deathmatch aspects with the new weapons, especially the light machinegun, I don't know what it is actually called. Getting score is better achieved by killing enemies, and I think killing the respawning zombies might be a faster way to get score. There is no ammo in the map, so when you run out, you should die and respawn. With two players and the goal of killing the score monster the map was tedious but with more and more dedicated players I can see this being fun.

Pros:

  • good looking map design
  • fun custom weapons
  • fun custom models

Cons:

  • combat vs. the monsters in the level is very easy, bland, and boring.
  • killing players should be worth more score
  • when players run out of ammo they have to die to get more

Score: 5 / 10

The Absolute State of this Blog

   I'm a big fan of Sven Co-op, so much so that I was only half joking when I presented the terrible idea of playing and reviewing every map to my partner in crime, Dunkelschwamm. Much to my surprise she agreed and now here we are, 371 maps in to the 1558 maps currently on the Sven Co-op map database . It was done primarily to get people to stop leaving reviews in the comments and to actually put them in the review section. Let me just check the reviews on the map database. . . . yeah, I think it sort of worked. Then we got nervous that wikidot might die and take the site with it so I created this blog as a mirror.      Dunkel was unemployed at the time and my fiancé still had tons of patience for me so it went swimmingly, I think we averaged something like 15 reviews a week. I did the math but circumstances keep changing and so do the numbers, so that's a very rough estimate. We both dabbled in making maps for Sven long ago when the game was relevant and popula...

Swiss Cheese Halloween - Dunkelschwamm

        Swiss Cheese Halloween is a conversion of an ancient Half-Life mod of the same name. It was made back in the whimsical time of 2002 by an author who goes by Swiss Cheese, hence the map name. SCMapDB page Original mod author: Swiss Cheese Conversion author: Garompa Date of original mod release: 2002 Date of final Sven map release: 2020 Maps in package: 12 Map review of Swiss Cheese Halloween (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | November 27, 2021 | 6988 characters      A classic Halloween mod that's great for nostalgia and festivity, but frequently trips over itself.      Some information: Swiss Cheese Halloween is an old Halloween-themed Half-Life singleplayer mod. It was one of the first Half-Life mods I ever played, years ago. I was excited to play through it with a buddy in Sven, so I got this port. This review is following our finishing of the mod together.      The mod as a whole offers many m...

Civil Defence - Dunkelschwamm

Image
       Kill a bunch of soldiers and aliens in some generic warehouses and offices somewhere in a red brick city. It's a pretty straightforward map that requires at least two people. SCMapDB page Authors: Daniel Plant Date of release: 2004 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Civil Defence (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | January 7, 2024 | 3588 characters      Civil Defence is a very simple sequence of gunfighting arenas in a warehouse district setting. Players fight their way out of a building by escaping along its fire escape, then through the district, before moving through a sewers area to the final battle. The first third of the map sees players fighting blackops grunts and assassins, before things take a sudden shift and see the players fighting an odd combination of vortigaunts, gonomes, and shock troopers (with a few itchyosaurs, and eventually a voltigore, thrown into the mix).      The battles in this are intense.
