Speed Mappack IV/2010 released !
Recently we've been asked a lot "where are the news tracks ?!?!"... well finally we can say: Here they are! The Speed Maptesting team worked hard on their rating and we get now finally to the release of the new Speed Mappack IV 2010.
The new tracks will be driven in every ladder in the European ESL Speed section as well as in the Speed Premiership Season 3 which starts in a week.

The Selection


We got a lot of maps from different mapbuilders. Many of them were nice to drive and also very competitive. Every member of our speed testing team had worked hard rating all the maps, and we can finally show you the result.

We proudly present you the new Speed-Mappack:

The Maps


  • Contrast to Reality - psymax_darknoob
  • Between the Sheets - by eliphas_der_erbe *updated*
  • Something - by binne
  • Convenient - by mcbain *updated*
  • Leardan - by justice. *updated*

    Your map not chosen?
    It's been a tough choice and if your track is not in this list, it doesn't mean that we didn't enjoy it. Important: There is still the possibility that all maps that aren't listed here could be used as special maps for the upcoming Speed Premiership Season 3. You will soon recieve a mail with information about the status of your map. So the most important thing is, that you please don't upload it anywhere else, without knowing if we could use it as special map. As said, you'll receive a mail as soon as possible.

    Where will these maps be used?


    Generally you can use this maps wherever you want. But in a competition you will find them only in the Speed Premiership Season 3 and in the ladders: Speed 1on1 Rounds Ladder, Speed 2on2 Rounds Ladder and the Speed Teams Rounds Ladder.
    All open Matches in this Ladders can be driven on the old maps if your opponent and you aggree to do so - new challenges have to be driven with the new pack.

    We wish you a lot of fun in the ESL EU Speed Section with this maps.

    Yours
       ESL TMNF Elite Admins!

    Maps are okay except that Contrast to Reality thing....way to hard for rounds
    The best maps what could be chosen were chosen. Good mappack, and for the guys which say the old mappack was better, remind your answers from mappack III.. everybody says the new maps sucking bad. You are driving in the esl, dont forget that.
    We know that we drive in de ESL but there are everytime maps where somebody say :" bad map, good map". I think in one week we will see how good or bad the maps are.
    are u kiddin' me?!? some tracks look like his first track ever and the others are not better -.-" ESL failed giantly :/ i have nothing more to say....this is just ridiculous!

    stay cool, we could feel happy that we have still a sps, so don't flame pls, thx
    Paddy, i am you master from low racing..grrr ..and i say BAD MAPS

    THAN BAD MAPS OK DUDE?
    WHATS UP GUY?^^
    who choses that map with the cut??? good job -.-
    @ruudii: who read my first comment??? good job -.-
    really, all maps are same style, kinda boring
    and i can't imagine that the 5 chosen maps where the best of 50, sry just big fail..
    @ Paddy
    u are happy that there is another sps? Why u think the esl speed section goes down? because of the maps, lol. This mappack is the best example
    It's always the same, everyone flames, but you should drive the maps some hours first to say how you like them.
    imo it is one of the best mappacks which had been released in the speed section.

    Sry, dont like it too much either.
    2 Maps were kinda good though.
    It's just that is not all about maps that fit many pro skill levels, as you can improve your time very much with skill, tricks and stuff.
    Sure that's an important point, but I think fun factor should be calculated as well.
    For example you come with highspeed with like 30 degrees on a really tiny wallride where you just can't avoid a wallbang just kills a flow part and also the rhythm and driving feeling...

    Just my opinion, I'm not the kind of guy that always flames about the packs or stuff, the last packs where all in all kinda cool and no criticism from my side.

    Greets

    i think every "average" map on tmx is way better than this so called "maps" here. I just can't understand how ESL Admins could choose maps like this? I'd like to see the other maps which where send in and i bet more than the half of them are better than this ones. I also wouldn't flame if there would be any different styles of maps, but this are all the same..
    Just lame.
    so many tracks who were better in the test pack. kinda sad, that those were chosen.
    Sorry but I agree with indy! 2 maps are okay and the rest.. hm.. bad!
    I have to say imo it is a really good mappack.

    Why?

    -Not many bugs
    -Easy for rounds
    -Different styles (Very highspeed,NormalSpeed,Dirt,Grass,Turnovers,Tubes,Wallrides and so on)

    And dont forget 6 maps will still appear as special maps
    i compare the tracks with the test pack. and i have to say, there were better tracks. Not many, but those who are good, are far better than these ones.
    @nailer these maps will be choosen for sps ;)
    @Bain
    -Easy for rounds (yeah too easy)
    -Different styles (Very highspeed,NormalSpeed,Dirt,Grass,Turnovers,Tubes,Wallrides and so on) LOL every map has own parts, but in general all maps are very similar
    And dont forget 6 maps will still appear as special maps (Yes but the normal mappack should be better than the special maps, lol)

    nothing special, but imo the mappack is really good

    You´re right. Special maps are just for SPS driver... The Speed Ladder never will drive this maps this season on ESL!
    And every map both Special and "Normal" maps have to be nice. The only thing is that Specialmaps have to be harder then normal ones...
    WHATS UP!

    BIG FAIL


    DIRT IN SPEED LADDER LQL

    ... NOCOMMENT!
    omg... dirt in speed is normal... look on maps like midnight skills 1
    omg... dirt in speed is normal... look on maps like midnight skills 1
    omg... dirt in speed is normal... look on maps like midnight skills 1
    *update*
    ESL - Leardan got updated
    @ bizeps
    Why not Dirt? on Competition maps there are also a few seconds with fullspeed, lol
    :D
    Why do people blame the admins for the pack? Weren't they chosen by testers nominated by the captains of the competing teams?

    I personally think (even though my track wasn't selected :P) this pack will work well for competition, which is far more important than any personal preference I have about track style. That said, I am not part of a competing team so my opinion is moot.

    rek.
    it was axt who finally chose the maps. if you don't like the maps, blame him :s
    than played @ dirt ladder

    LQL
    mmm i don't think the tracks are so bad.
    I don't know if the other tracks were better, but i'm pretty satisfied with these ones (even if my entry isn't in the pack :) )
    2 Maps are nice, 2 Maps are ok, and 1 Map is Big Fail, but this mappack is better than the old one!
    Do not forget to update the track "ESL - Between the Sheets" has also cut
    Sorry, but this maps so suck
    @43: I'm currently waiting for the updated file - will be fixed as soon as possible.
    @39: I can assure you that that had not been the case, as I didn't even participate in the voting.
    Yea, i dont like some maps too, but there isnt a way to evryone agree to the mappack. Im whit that idea too " the old esl mappack was better" ,
    but if we think a litle, its impossible play allways the same tracks...

    @Axt we use the update and there is no cut so hope this map will be better now.
    *update*
    ESL - Between the Sheets got updated


    ;)
    *update*
    ESL - Convenient has been fixed.

    As far as I know this should be the last update. Thanks for your understanding.
    in 1on1 speed rounds ladder the new maps can't be chosen, there are still the old ones there.
    i tried to open a new match today.
