Revision as of 11:14, 3 February 2008

Previous versions of the map had Deck meaning a floor in a space craft (ala star trek)- I'm curious why they made this version a building on solid ground? Tahngarthor 03:24, 4 January 2008 (EST)

Me too. "Deck" pretty much implies ship, at least to me. The only way to know for sure is ask Epic, specifically the mapper(s) for this.

Quick comment: DM-Deck16II's description clearly states it's situated on a space ship. Retodon8 13:14, 3 February 2008 (EST)

I've been thinking about a general "Deck maps" article, or even "Map series" general article, but decided I think a "See also" section where all the other maps are listed and inter-linked (with the game it's in behind it in brackets) is sufficient. The same for series like that including DM-CurseII, but also relations like DM-Deimos which basically is a combination of DM-Phobos and DM-HyperBlast (if I'm not mixing up maps). The general article could still contain some notes on design differences between version, the way maps relate, that kind of stuff. Actually now that I think of it, a "Deck maps" category at the bottom (compare to the "Gametypes" category at the bottom of "Deathmatch") might be nice, especially if the series contains a lot of different versions.

Maybe instead of a in a "See also" it should be in a "Notes" or "Trivia" section... which one of those is standard here? A whole "Related maps" section could be a bit much... maybe. Retodon8 13:14, 3 February 2008 (EST)
