The Open Map Competition 4 has official begun. Its a community wide supported contest with a stack of excellent prizes up for grabs. The contest is exclusively for C&C 3 maps, previous OMC's supported a range of C&C games. Here is the official announcement.

 

 

Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil - June 20th 2007 - We are proud to announce the opening of the Open Map Competition 4 (OMC4) today. The OMC is a world-wide mapping contest for Command & Conquer games and is being organized by prominent C&C sites. The OMC will serve to foster new mapping talent and to recognize and reward the community's best mappers.

 

The Open Map Competition 4 will only accept maps for Command & Conquer 3 this time without symmetry. The OMC will run for two months, with no entry limit per mapper. Top maps will be published and publicized across the community and will be in the running to earn prizes including software, soundtracks, t-shirts, mousemats and much more. Note that the prizes list has not been finalized at the time. Each map will be reviewed 5 judges selected from amongst the C&C fansite and mapping community. Judging will be blind, with judges being unaware of the author of a particular map.

 

We invite everyone to visit the Open Map Competition section at CnCCommunity.net to read the complete list of rules and obtain information about prizes. Also available are winning maps from previous Open Map Competitions as well as tutorial information for new mappers at the FAQ.

 

The Open Map Competition - a perfect opportunity for everyone to improve their maping skills, to show off our community's talent, and to crown the best C&C 3 mappers of the year!

 

To your map editors, gentle C&C fans! May the best mapper win!

That looks awesome, hopefully we'll see some good maps.

Good stuff, now we just need EA to recognize the good maps and make em' official maps. Cause they really do need a few more official 2v2 and 1v1 maps really.

Luk3us, this is one of the reasons that CnC3 was choosen and the game has space for more good official maps (actually, it's in dire need of them).

I'm glad it's WITHOUT symmetry, those maps that came along with the game just sucked hard! If maps are totally equal to all the starting positions it's really boring. I think it's interesting to find out the advantages of each starting location.
