I (like many of us) have been glued to my tv today watching the e3 expo as i clean up the drool from all the insane games that are coming (mmm twisted metal is baaaaaaack). and that gave me an idea: what if the hive had its own "E3"?
perhaps it would be an anual thread of some sort that would expose maps and their makers. For example: each year a few members of hive would get together and retrieve info about maps that are still in progress, already made but under renovation, and map makers could in a way apply in hopes to have their map on display.
What this would do:
Well, obviously this gives the public a chance to see and maybe even play a small demo of their favorite upcoming maps. More so, the maps that are show cased will recieve publicity and hopefully create hype for the map. Map makers could answere interviews, have links to demos, and show off screen shots of their upcoming maps-all of which help both the players and the map and their makers.
Our very own wc3wow and wc3d3 are two maps that have garnished a lot of players and downloads. However, at the hives e3 we could showcase these games and in the "showing" the wc3wow could give a simple demo map (everyone wants to play it, dont lie to yourself.) then the wc3d3 could have a youtoube clip showcasing thier new terrain and skins in action.
even better for the community is that we can allow a certain amount of applicants to showcase their maps that many people may have never heard of. this could give some maps the publicity they need to give the mapmakers motivation to keep chugging along and finish their now anticipated work.
Idk its just an idea. it would require a lot of work the side of interviews and getting everything together but the effort would be well worth it compared to what this could do for the community.
