This post is not meant to start a flame war between the two mods but it is a legit question I have.
Why are EIR maps not exclusive to EIR? OMG mod will not share their maps with us but we share ours with them?
I was just over there browsing the number of maps they have and thought to myself wow it would be cool if we could play those maps in EIR. If the two mods truly wish to coexist why not make the maps available to both mods?

But still do you think its in the spirit of coexisting to make OMG maps only playable by OMG and EIR maps are playable by both.
IMO both mods maps should be playable by both mods...

They already stated their case for doing what they did. We don't have the same reasoning. We won't be going to an exclusive system. But, look out for a lot of new maps from the coh community soon!

I try to release as many maps as I can for both but, I just feel obligated as an OMG dev to release exclusive maps. I personally don't even understand why they are exclusive.

Probably because they dont want people playing the maps with EIR =p. Thats really the only reason I can think of and its not a very good reason I might add.

Good to hear spartan. Is there a reason you cant release a version of your maps for EIR as well? Do you guys have to sign some sort of agreement when you make a map over there that it cannot be used anywhere else?

No it's more of the mappers choice, we just have some stuff planned for the future that will give you more benefits if you map is exclusive. Stuff that will help you get more plays. |

OMG devs and mappers work closely to make the maps fit together with upcoming modes and gametypes. It wouldn't make sense for a map that was developed for an OMG specific game mode to be released over here. It just wouldn't work.

Actually, a quick resector can make a map play for any game mode.

I am strictly a non-exclusive mapper ,mostly because I do not like one mod over the other, so I do feel what you are saying.

If i was a mapper i wouldn't care about my maps being exclusive, all i'd want is for as many people to play it as possible.
if maps are good, share them. It's way better than having some random "noo you have to play this mod if you want to play this map".

This is a very poor excuse... It takes almost no time to resecter a map and make it playable for both mods. In fact you would think mappers would want to have their maps played more right? Well mappers, I dont know if OMG has told you but your maps will get played a lot more often if you release them for EIR as well. Not only is EIR the more popular mod atm but your maps will be played in OMG as well. This would double the amount of playtime your maps get if not more. But in the end it is your map so if you have some deep seeded hatred toward EIR for some reason and you refuse to let us play your maps. So be it... Lots of good maps over there, too bad they dont get played often =( |
