I may have made a mistake Pet. I've definitely played it before, and i thought on CEONSS, but Peg can't remember it being on CEONSS and there's no record of it on the server

If anyone knows it'll be Heinz, but it must have been a few years ago now. Anyway we'll wait to see what he says, if not I'm afraid that this poll wont be valid. Sorry Pet, my bad.
Sorry to say, but it's never been on CEONSS before.

And the audience of NV maps is big, so I don't know why a zombie map poll can't be something more useful, than being an instant win poll of terrible maps. Maybe it will leave a unique gaming experience in players.

Just because a proposed map isn't eligible for consideration through the ZM system doesn't mean that it can't be proposed and discussed in the standard manner like so many other maps have in the past. The ZM avenue simply fast-tracks a couple of playability/compliance checks since the map has been considered and adjusted (enough?) in the past by virtue of having been hosted on the server before, whereas an entirely new or otherwise raw map would have to be examined - and, likely, edited - with those standards in mind before proceeding. That's the only difference

.
Speaking about the map specifically though, ehhh, it
is kinda cramped and bears plenty of the hallmarks of the typical CTF conversion, with ONS priorities seeming more of an afterthought (standalone weapon bases and sprinkled ammo, barely enough room given to nodes). Are you guys sure this would be worth someone spending a couple (dozen) hours in UEd for, never mind repeatedly playing in? Just some quick n' dirty personal feedback here, nothing more "official"...

Apologies Pet, I thought it had been on before, but as it hasn't, it cannot be nominated as a Zombie map. Sorry.
If you're willing to have a go with the editor, it could be considered once the flaws that Peg has highlighted have been addressed.
