So, my question is simple. What kind of maps do you like to make?
I like to make DM maps. It's just so simple and addictive to make 'em.

I prefer making Deathmatch/Multiplayer maps.

In my opinion there is not much difference in making a Deathmatch map or a Capture the Flag map. I personally think they have a longer play value than Single Player maps that are more difficult to make. :D

But i'm sure i'll do a single player map sooner or later, because there are always some ideas you just can't put into a Multiplayer level.

Im not nearly good enough to make an acceptable singleplayer map so ive just tried to make dm ones up to now. Havent actually released any yet because i still suck but its fun anyways.

I personally like SP maps. Planning out a long adventure, and seeing it come to life before you eyes is a great experience. Also, alot of SP maps can be made also in co-op.

I Prefer to do CO-OP as I only play in this mode as a rule. But I do make an exception for any custom maps that you guys make. I always download them and give them a go. Makes me see how bad my attemps really are.

My favorites are Single Player maps. Problem is I hate building architecture, so when building a map my schedule is usually two months for architecture, then less than a week for textures, lighting, scripts, secrets, etc. etc. But the entire primitive/conus thingy is simply BORING.....

Actually, I like making the architecture... Most of my work is done in Terragen, and many other areas i have an idea in my head, not on paper. So it is not like I am copying from paper onto the computer, it is... like I am composing music, almost. I can waste HOURS away on a room, and be happy doing it. Then I put content into it and move on to the next room. By using terrains as a base, I can usually hack out about 10 minutes of intense gameplay a week. Then my attention shifts to another project, and that one collects dust...

I, too anjoy creating architecture. It's the best part of creating a map, I think.
