Map making/reviewing sites

[Crozz]

Hello,
I used to make levels for Unreal Tournament and I thought I would start again with Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3. However all the great community sites I visited and submitted my maps to is pretty much dead or gone now. Anyone know of places to go that have their focus only on custom maps, with forums and map submitting etc?

Unreal Playground was always my favourite for map subs, mapraider is great too, and insite do great reviews...

nalicity still running?

Very much so.

Very much so.

Is it Still full of whiny, never happy pre teen idiots who rate every map a 'zero' or a 'ten' while adding a good dose of personal attacks towards the authors?

btw - on a SERIOUS note (yes my last post wasn't 100% serious so don't get upset),

I recently click on gamespots UT2k4 page and then clicked on 'downloads'

http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/action/ut2...tabs;downloads

And I was amazed to see my map DM-Mindgames2 listed on the first page in 'most popular downloads' with 15k+ downloads, (in fact it's the only single map on the first page, there are the famous map packs but no other singles?) I don't know what happened there, as far as I Know it's a little known map with slightly above average reviews (there are far better maps out there for sure) so how the hell did it end up on the first page? is this a bug in gamespot's download system.

Genuinely interested if anyone knows because frankly i'm puzzled.



<edit> I think it must be a bug because I found more maps of mine on there that have incorrect screenshots so perhaps the mindgames2 page is actually to download a UT patch or something

Thanks for the sites, I knew especially about nali city and actually visited it before making this thread as the forums seems very unactive there. But oh well - guess it's just the calm before the storm or something, eh?
