A Map Reviewer

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.

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

Hey gorb, i mean how do i get my reviews posted on snarkpit?

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 :smile:

Alrighty well I will review a map Lep and then ill email ya =) Do you want a map not on the pit or one on the pit?

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

lol ok well its 1:09 am and i got to leave my house to move to college at 6:30 so It may be a day or two before i start ill ttys peace.

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

Perhaps you could try your hand, Ball.

Me and Lep don't really play HL anymore, we are a bit behind the times in that department :-/

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 :razz:

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

Then get to REVIEWIN!!!!!111~times 2

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.

Im always looking for people that want to do map reviews. Just take a look at my site in my profile if your interested.

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 :smile:

Well I will prob start here soon I just moved into college a day or so ago. Ive been busy with the setting up and cleaning of the room. But ill get back to you guys i got FAST INTERNET NO MORE 56k!!!!@$#!@%$@#% yeah!

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 :smile: If yes, I'll write ya a application review :smile:

Guess so, yeah :smile:
