PlanetOTB has a more literal version of "Aimbot" up at their site. Along with a picture and description there is also a download which is also good for a laugh.

Not necessarily Call of Duty related, but funny none-the-less.

I hope everyone in the US of A had a great Thanksgiving, and are enjoying a nice long weekend away from the daily grind :)

You, the mapping community has spoken, and we have heard you loud and clear. The Call of Duty Mapping Contest will be extended past the original 30 day timeframe.

Why has it been extended? Many casual mappers have expressed their concern that 30 days simply isn't enough time. We want you to be able to put out the best map possible, so we are extending the contest an additional 45 days, which puts the deadline at February 4th, 2004 (Mark your calendar!).

With the recent release of the CoD Radiant mapping tools, Call of Duty Xtreme has decided to celebrate with a mapping contest!

The winner will be the lucky recipient of a pair of E-Dimensional 3D Glasses! Wouldn't it be cool to play your winning map in 3D? ;)

---------- Rules/guidelines for the CoDX Mapping Contest:

- Contest will run exactly 75 days (February 4th, 2004), which should give new mappers enough time to familiarize themselves with CoD Radiant and still have time to put out a good map.

- Map must be of your own creative nature. No ports of existing maps from MOH, RTCW, etc.

- Map must be playable under at least 2 game modes. The more versitile the map, the better.

- Adding in your own custom prefabs and textures are an added plus.

- Maps will be judged on overall appearance, creativity, scalability, performance, and of course how fun it is to play.

- Submit entries via email to mapcontest. Can't email your file? Let me know with an email, or find me (demonrage) on IRC at irc.gamesnet.net #callofduty or #codmapping and we'll make arrangements to get the file in our hands!
----------
Hopefully the 30 day time frame is an extra incentive to many of you who may get a little discouraged (myself included) from trying to learn just how to get going and put together a good map.

Need help getting started with CoD Radiant? CodeAlliance has a very nice list of tutorials to help you get through just about everything you'll need to know, from square one.

Need additional help or just want to hang with the rest of the mapping community? Join us on IRC at IRC.GamesNet.net #codmapping

Need an IRC client? Head to www.mirc.com to grab one!

Have a question? Post in the contest forum thread or Email us!
