TEK9 Mapping Contest for COD4

With a recent surge of interest from the Call of Duty 4 community in new competitive maps, we have decided to host a mapping contest. Starting today, we are inviting all Call of Duty map makers to show us their skills in designing the future competitive maps for Call of Duty 4. In order to produce the best possible maps, the map makers will also need all the feedback they can get from our beloved community. That is why we came up with the following process for official entries:

Timeline

December 1st 2009
Start of the Mapping contest: Contestants are encouraged to create a TEK9 forum thread which includes details of their map, screenshots, downloads and a possibility for the community to give feedback on the progress.
Thread title: [Mapping] MyMapName

February 15th 2010
TEK9 Dedicated Mapping Contest Page is put live and contestants can upload the final versions of their map (no editing allowed after this). The community can start rating the maps and download the final versions.

March 1st 2010
The voting is stopped and the winners are announced.

For those of you who have already made a map and are wondering if you can still enter it the answer is yes! The whole idea behind the mapping contest is to try and find extra maps suitable for competitive play and if there are already such maps out there they are obviously allowed to enter as well. Only the creator of the map can enter his map and we also strongly recommend you give it a good revamp before considering it final. Make sure bugs are fixed and that you are completely satisfied with what you made.

We will also be working on further initiatives to help the competitive Call of Duty 4 community over the coming weeks, including competitions and tournaments, so stay tuned to TEK9!
