I am not going to have a slap fest with you, I just called you out for being negative (get over it).

haha. Learn to take criticism and there wouldn't be a problem

I love criticism just not negative comments pretending to be criticism, learn to be a more positive person and you will not be hated.

I don't copy and paste Easter eggs from other games.

Are you implying that I do?  I can take some criticism, but when you are stating things that are not true as if they were fact, then I have to stand up for it.  The Easter Egg in Swan took the concepts from other games, but I scripted the whole thing myself.  It was no where close to copy and paste, besides some models and sound.  (I actually had to edit some sounds too)  Dismissing all of that work off as a copy and paste when you don't even know how much work went into it is just plain wrong.  Also, what is your problem with this map, you only bring up what you see in your opinion as negative (and sometimes the things you bring up are not true) and bring up none of the positives.  It seems as if you go out of your way to give us a hard time about this map, and not on just this site, but on the NGT website too.  Is there a reason why you go after this map specifically?  There are plenty of worse maps, and there are plenty of better maps, but why target ours in particular.

Ok, rant over, back on topic now.

Cause your map is new? Just because criticism is negative doesn't mean its negative comments.

It is when your always negative and have nothing good to say.

Just because I don't have any positive criticism doesn't mean I have nothing good to say. It can make you make a better map

Ok... it seems I cannot lock the thread down for some reason, so it has earned a reprieve for now. Please try to keep the insults to a minimum though... this is a debate that can be had without belittling each other.

Thanks guy.

Locking it for you from my phone. I'll check the board permissions when I get home.

Seen enough of this pissing match. And really, copy/paste EE? Dumbest thing I've heard all day. Get over yourself zNiC. I agree the mapping isn't a 10/10 but it's above average at minimum.

Alright, the topic is unlocked now. Please try to keep the discussion civil and on-topic this time. No more "my map is better than your map" junk or discussion other peoples' attitudes towards forums - this is a map review topic and any discussion in it should be related to the content of the map review. If you would like to specifically discuss the map rather than the review of the map. you should do so in the map's release topic.

damn

Back to the review, I do think the jungle was a little too dense with foliage, half the time I couldn't see where I was going tbh, but the uncanny resemblance of the actual station was amazing, the attention to detail was utterly superb in this map (speaking as a Lost fan), so an 8 is (just about) fair IMO.

Sure the map could've been detailed better but correct me if I'm wrong custom maps are there to be enjoyed right? There are many beautiful maps I never played more than once coz they were just..well..boring, and that's something you definitely can't accuse this map of being. Give me the choice between pretty decals, tons of custom textures and intricate detail, and fun gameplay and interesting features and a decent looking map and I'll take the latter any day, but maybe that's just me

No...Its not just you Stevie 
Great work guys, I really enjoyed it and although the detail was not high, they implemented  objects & areas from the show & they did this excellently so for me, this excuses the lack of detail previously mentioned by some.
The numbers station, the hatch, the underwater area, the Vdub, Desmond's Muriel, the magnetic fence making the heads pop. I could go on but not all were lost fans :p
But as a lost fan, I thoroughly appreciate the work & RESEARCH done to make this map resemble the tv show.
I, for one, will play this map for a long time to come as the rewards for ee completion make it more than worth the effort for me.
Thanks for your work guys
Cant wait for your next instalment..

Uh ok. Contest winner map here: http://ugx-mods.com/forum/index.php?topic=1047.0

Studio that is currently on ngt forums.

While i credit you for ski Resort zniic, do not use Studio as a map example, as unfortunately, thats not at all a great map either, granted you had a deadline to meet, but at its current state its not that great of a map. Yes, the animation for the shrink ray is a bit glitchy, but i dont care really, hes the first guy to have the shrink ray in a map and the fact it was my suggestion for the weapon to be put in CZs, im glad people listened

I have a question for PieMan... Why don't you just take the last frame of the equip animation and base the idle animation off of that? Then the animations would match up perfectly and would look good.
