My opinion is that regardless of the design guidelines, Crossfire maps will stay at best "average", because the fighting/damage system used forces fast and brutal combat. This is perfectly suitable with the original concept of a "hack'n'slash" game - but I do not think it fits the role of a more RPG-oriented game. Neither does it with the idea of multiplayer gaming. There is also the content problem, of course: too few content written, and fewer actually used in maps. > No one cares? > I stopped caring after it was obvious that better content was not map-making's top priority. > No one has any idea? > Write content. Use what's already written. Change the pace of combat to give a meaning to multiplaying. Then, maybe it would be time to set some design rules for maps. > No one agrees? No one rejects?
