The 4th Assaultcube Mapping Competition was an community event created by MisterFloppy, Halo, 4bit and jiba held from October 26th 2009 to December 11th 2009. The prize for the winner was a $50 Amazon gift card.

History

This event started October 26, 2009, when it was first announced on the Akimbo forum. It was based on the idea that mappers would get more competitive to produce high quality maps, as the other Mapping Contests did. When the topic was posted, MisterFloppy said:

It's been a while since the last mapping contest and so we start into the 4th round right now. This time we managed to offer a great price for the winner. The rules stay pretty much the same as it used to be with the other contests, besides there won't be different judging classes and the theme is a bit more open this time. Custom media is fine as long it does not affect gameplay.

Rules

The 4th Assaultcube Mapping Competition consisted of the following competition rules:

  • Map wasn't released anywhere before
  • One map per person (more than one person per map is fine)
  • No stealing
  • No judge was involved in the process of making the map

Restrictions

  • Night themed
  • Requires at least one outside area
  • Team mode oriented

Judges

  • 4Bit

Judging

The types of things being judged in the maps were:
