And Daleks vids didnt spoil them at all?
I didn't watch them, so if I hadn't played the map already then no. It would only spoilt the map if you chose to watch the videos. I know the same can be said about playing this map but you wouldn't know that unless you had actually already played Oil Rig or watched the videos.
Also, the PaP camo is absolutely horrific. Please, if you’re gonna use something that bad just stick with the default WAW one instead.
That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the beginning. His misunderstanding of the setting of the map should not dock points.
I completely disagree with this. A daytime map is a welcome sight in my eyes. I can only think of a handful of maps that use daytime setting and I thought it was very nice looking. It certainly looks a hell of alot better than most maps lighting.
Reviewer, you need to remember this; this map was meant to be a small, fun, survival map and was made in a very short period of time and still it has more features, better map detail, and replayability than half the maps that come out nowdays. Maby you need to go back and review your review.
Hmm, on second thought maybe you should give this reviewing lark a miss Ragtime...
There's a lot I disagree with, but I'll just pick out my favourites.
Do you know what the word 'industrial' means? Why on Earth would you be expecting "dark hardwood floors, crackling fireplace, impoverished servants"? Baffling.
"Like any abandoned building, the factory has an inherent “creepy” factor that could’ve been brought out with a nighttime sky. Instead, a sunny afternoon kills any sense of dread you may have harbored." I thought I'd go for a nice bright map, rather than, you know, EVERY OTHER MAP. " It’s just the usual WAW fullbright. Boooooring" - can you name me some other bright maps? I'm struggling to think of any TBH.
And you originally gave it 7/10 for custom content? Less than Labyrinth?
I'd give your review a 4/10.
I didn't particularly have an issue with the score (Although you only increased the custom content score from a 7 to a 9 after Pro questioned it). More just the terrible content of the review itself.
Lol! The last update to the OP was on August 5th. Pro posted his comment today, on the 6th. Although I'm curious what leads you to believe this?
Also, sorry the review offended your sensibilities. It's just a shame that I don't tailor them to your taste, I tailor them to mine. If you don't like them, then don't read them.
I'm really glad that this review ruffled some feathers, that means I'm doing something right

It seems most people didn't really like it tbh. If you're going to review my map of course I'm going to have an opinion on it? Unless this reviewing business only works one way? Like I said I just thought the review just wasn't very good, wouldn't matter if it was my map or someone elses. I think people didn't get the 'joke' at the beginning because it just wasn't very funny and didn't make much sense.
So this was the intention of your review? Well that explains a lot I guess.
People not agreeing with the score I gave = them disliking the whole review?
I don't mind you giving your opinion, but when you come into my review making false accusations of me "changing" my review, yeah, that's where I draw the line and tell you to back off. It should also be understood that I accept other opinions, but I refuse to alter my own style of reviewing to meet other people's standards.
Also, because you didn't find the jokes funny means that nobody else did?
The fact that my review drew some controversy shows that it got people thinking, and expressing their own view. And I think that's great -- tell me what you didn't agree with. People who read this now will get not only my review, but other people's opinions as to how it should be rated.
Well you quoted me and Slayer and expressed your astonishment at how we didn't get that the opening paragraph was a 'joke'. I was just explaining the reason why we didn't 'get' it. Maybe some people did IDK.
I already told you, I don't have an issue with your score or your opinions on the map, but I'm not gonna just sit idly by if someone says something about my own work that I vehemently disagree with am I? I just thought a lot of your points were odd to say the least. You still haven't given me an example of another bright, sunny map yet either. I would have thought your options would have been plentiful since you are so 'bored' of them? And your opening line states the map was a 'letdown' - that to me just reeks of an agenda, I could be wrong.
And I actually think your score is just about fair (after the adjustment), I just didn't agree with the actual content of the review like I said. But I do hope you are consistent with your reviews in future (if you plan to continue with them) and score every map on the same principles.

"Let's be friends so we can make out"
Look, Stevie, I got nothing against you man, but I am NOT making out with you.
You have odd taste in music Tom, I took you for more of a Miley Cyrus kinda guy.
My kinda guy So we can skip the making out and get straight down to business?
