Best of the Alpha Sector

TonyP2000 · October 05, 2013, 09:19:25 PM

It seems like people are starting to finish off the game and make it to the alpha sector. I think its a good time to start some discussion on our personal favourite alpha maps.

I never played too many maps myself (but when I do, I will post them here), my favourite so far are:
Metriod by MadMag
NACDAR by virgilw

CuriosityStation by V is fun!

CuriosityStation is awesome because it came out right around the time the rover landed.

Haha computer slowed down towards the end of this one.. Getting a strong hold on that last ridge was tough.. But once you nullify one.. The rest are soon to follow..

So I thought I was finished.. But I missed an emitter in the middle of the map.. Just glad it was being capped haha.. That could have been bad. Don't know how I missed it.

Give "Earth" by Fisherck a try. Good throw back to the CW1 days.

Nice catch. Will have to try that one after football or tomorrow.

'Solar System Shakeup' by Fisherck makes you really think about how to invade each planet.

Concur with 'Solar System Shakeup' - fun game.

I don't usually like the really big games, but tek's "point to point" was a lot of fun.

cheers chap! 8)
my fav at the moment is CMan's "Beau Jest" tricky to get a foothold and not too long to wrap up.

I've barely played maps in other systems but my current favorite is childs play by J. I've also played teks point to point but I got bored at around 38%. Interesting start though.

My mind was blown when I read this thread... There is more than Virgilw's alpha maps O_o

There is a lot more than V's maps lol. In fact he does not even have the most maps contributed to that sector. That award goes to J with 17 maps.

My favourite Alpha map vote goes to:

teknotiss - Clear your castle.

It's the one right at the end of the demo trailer with the words 'Massive Fun' overlaid.

Too true.

If you just like blowing stuff up, this is the map for you.

Also a big fan of tek's Runner a farm for some 'back to our CW1 roots' action.

My favourite map I created (can I vote for my own maps?!) is The Great Divide - which ironically is actually a DMD map with a few subtle tweeks to gameplay.

That darn Dial Map Device is way smarter and way more creative than me...

Personally, the best map that I made my self is Total War. Tons of different ways to beat it.

I gave Point to Point a shot and gave up after the second wave of spores.
