Looks to me like a lot of these maps are first gen maps created by people still learning the mapmaking program. You're right about some of them looking pretty good but it's really difficult at this point to be able to tell how good a map is from the one screen shot they're posted.

This is like BHD maps download them and try them out. Hopefully onces you download them you can edit them again to make them just the way you want them. With that said this seams like a great place to go to for ideas.

well they look great we are currently trying out the editor ourselvs so hopefully soon we will have a couple of our own to try
downside is we need a unranked server to try them
this is something we will have to look into

Ok, I'm kinda confused about this ranked/unranked server concept with CoD4. I know that with EA Games they had ranked and unranked servers but I always thought that was because of the centralized ranking and scoring system with EA's master server, you know ...kind of like keeping everyone on a level playfield so the ranks/scores, etc would be fair and unbiased (theoretically all earned fair and square
). I am also under the impression that with CoD4, all your ranks/stats/unlocks/etc are only kept on your system, not a central server like EA does. If all that is true, where or how does the ranking system come into play with CoD4 servers? It seems a shame that they come out with mapmaking tools (and the potential for some really great looking and fun maps to play) and then set their servers up so you can't use them and still be a "ranked" server. We would very much like to use custom maps, as I'm sure *BK* would but if that's going to mean not having a "ranked" server, then what's the point?

Well morgue i'm with you about been confused but here is what i can gather, in a ranked server you can gain xp points unlocking new weapons and ect i, but with a non-ranked server you can have it setup so that all weapons and ability are availible or only certain ones the choice is yours, so it basicly puts everyone on a level playing field with a 50 cal sniper rifle its you ever shoots fires that wins unless your grim where its other person that wins lol. any way i hope this helps

Hi all
like you all know now that custom maps only work on a modded server so to install the new maps we would need to mod the bad karma/ccc server
maybe (maybe) thjre will be a solution for this on patch 1.5( i only hear gossip about sollution on the patch)
problem with non ranked server is only that every time you need to chose gun and perks again and again
anyway one thing is true soon ranked servers will be history almost all will be level 55 and so no more use for ranked server
if in future the server run great and the co-op works fine i will add second cod4 server on our dedi
well cya all laterz

*soon is a period of time determined by me when i know how long the map will take to finish

How about converting some of famous *BK* BHD maps to Call of Duty 4 maps?

Hey Destroyer, that is a great idea........anyone know if this can be done? I've recently downloded the mod tools and patch but haven't really had the opportunity to play with them yet so I don't really know what can and can't be done.

Well morgue as far as i can tell almost any thing can be done its just knowing and finsing out how to do it witch is limiting us but visit modsonline.com for some tutorials and help, but just so you know some of the information can be found in the other cod mapping sections it seems to be done in the same way as the original
