How does one become a map reviewer because I would gladly review maps I think it would be fun and I could write some good reviews. [addsig]

You dub yourself map reviewer. Either offer yourself to others or ask them if you could review it. [addsig]

Normally you would just post your review in the same thread as the map you're reviewing, in the "maps" forum. Or, if the map doesn't have a thread here for one reason or another, you can simply put your review with screenshots on your own website, and direct people there.

The answer which people are oh-so obliquely giving you is that there have not been official map reviews here at the pit for a very long time. Not since I've been around in fact.

Maybe if you talk very sweetly to the ol Leper, he might let you restart the system. I for one think it would be a good thing, if only to draw new people into the site.

User reviews are being planned, as you might have noticed, which should sit aside 'official' reviews like tutorials do. Reviews of "external" maps would draw in a lot of people if done well, which is what official reviewers would do... anyways if you or anyone ever wants to go at being an official reviewer, you can always write a sample review (I want typical snarkpit length and style reviews, not 2 paragraph jobs!) and e-mail it to me

It's up to you, the point is to check and see if you can review maps or not

Hey Lep, if you ever got the time, maybe you could review some other maps that aren't HLDM? [addsig]

I still play actively (DoD, TFC, CS) I so could do it. It's just that im a lazy, distracted fool so it's incredibly unlikely

Meh, wait for HL2 for "proper" (ie official) reviews to start again i'd say, but it's not up to me

That's pretty much my sentiments on the matter too... Been waiting for HL2 to spur me to review stuff. Hopefully even pull in a team of people or some such.
/me continues not-so-secret secret planning of new webpagenessphwoar.

if thats a requirement to be permitted to do pit reviews, i reckon i wont be doing many, the length mine turned out to be, are about as small as i feel they should be and retain informative, and relatively informed reviews.

i suppose, i could just fill my profile/pit with my versions.. the people who appreciate that length can always go there, the ones who don't can have a condensed one

It's not a 'requirement' exactly- writing a good review (with decent use of English and grammar of course) is the only requirement, and there aren't terribly many people out there who could summarise a decent map that succinctly. I'll see how it goes though and what kind of thing people submit.

If you'll tell me yes or no, I'd be more than willing to review sven co-op maps If yes, I'll write ya a application review
