6 New Maps

By faker mapper·
Hey guys,

the mapcheck team had a closer look at the recently nominated maps and we're proud to announce that 6 of the most popular nominated maps got added to our mapcycle:

qsk_azure made by qui



Basically this monster will replace some of the recently added hard maps as probably the hardest map on XJ. You will need a lot of training and memorize every single of the hard to xtreme jumps to make it through this map and see the end timer without using checkpoints. Even with checkpoints this map might be a horror trip for most of the jumpers out there. Good luck, you'll need it ;)

stf_creepytemple made by stuff_x



This map was one of the most popular maps in the map nominations, therefore I think most of you might already know the map. For those of you who don't: you will find yourself placed in a dark and mysterious tunnel once you open up the map, and you'll have to make your way through several other tunnels and rooms until you see end of this spooky map.

fof_axn_scroll_killa made by Fact or Fiction



It's been a while since XJ has seen its latest AXN map. However, FoF managed to create a very bright and atmospheric AXN map based on a nature/outdoor theme that allows a lot of skip and will probably feature a very amazing world record in the not too distant future.

cg_d2block_ez & cg_d2block_h made by DyleT2



This one gets me in a very nostalgic mood. It's been a while as well, since we were allowed to see an original cg_ map and present brought to us by the oldschool mapper (and in my opinion one of the biggest talents out there) DyleT2. This one might seem a bit unimpressive at first, since its design is based on dark and rather boring colors, but the design and architecture of the map is impressing and the jumps just feel like you're teleported 2-3 years back in time and are allowed to play one of the amazing oldschool and original maps of back then. Also the hard version will provide a proper challenge for every jumper out there who is ready for it.

kzsca_watertemple made by daza



Another map you guys liked a lot, it has pretty amazing jumps and I'm sure lot of people will enjoy playing and recording this map. Nevertheless there is a kind of bitter aftertaste you might get after playing this map... Quite a few parts and ideas that you find in this map seem not only to be inspired but also to be pretty much copied from kz_kzdk_templebhop and kzru_pharaonrun. We like to remind you that ripping/copying other mappers ideas without asking them for permission and giving them proper credits will not be tolerated by the XJ staff (and such maps won't be added to our mapcycle). However, in this case we had a conversation with the original mapper radon and asked for his permission to release this map and/or if he feels bothered by this incident; he agreed on having this map released nevertheless, so here it is.

As usual: Have fun & enjoy the climb :)

P.S: Download all maps in one file (or the whole mappack) in the forum.

16/01/2011 00:15:00

@Nukk - qsk_azure-2 sandblock v4.. ? :D

16/01/2011 00:22:00

damn! where is brickngrass? and hellinashop,kzra_bhopcanal are more fun to play than kzsca_watertemple or sft_creepytemple, imo. my comment may be a little bit too harsh but those 3 maps i`ve mentioned first,even tho they are pretty old, can still keep you interested in playing/completing them. both watertemple and creepytemple are so boring...

16/01/2011 00:30:00

qsk_azure is by far the most insane map I have ever played. I doubt koukouz himself will be able to finish this map. The map is possible under 5 minutes with cps, Adantoud proved that, but with no cps..

16/01/2011 00:56:00

16/01/2011 12:01:00

gj guys

16/01/2011 12:04:00

qsk_azure, haha, good luck

16/01/2011 12:46:00

qsk_azure - ugly, too small, hard. stf_creepytemple - everything is put in one room, look is ok and the jumps are enjoyable. cg_d2block_ez - not the best look, pretty enjoyable jumps. cg_d2block_h - ^ + jumps are more enjoyable! kzsca_watertemple - there are already like thousands of temple-themed maps, be more creative :/ Other than that I say it's the best map of this release, enjoyed playing it.

16/01/2011 13:38:00

I was thinking about qsk_azure, and how maybe there should be a class of maps that are impossible except with checkpoints - maps where each jump is extremely challenging. I guess some maps were already supposed to be along these lines (sandblock2, synergy_x, etc) but then some goober comes a long and beats it with NC anyway. qsk_azure is approaching impossible without checkpoints - some of the jumps there take me hundreds of tries. I will be very surprised if someone NC's this. But how does it sound to have maybe an entire group of maps where each jump is so hard that checkpoints are allowed? It would be a different kind of challenge.

16/01/2011 13:51:00

I think the only thing we gained from this release is azure.

16/01/2011 14:55:00

16/01/2011 15:43:00

hey koukouz go on qsk_azure :D gl

16/01/2011 15:52:00

thanks from koukouz for new maps

16/01/2011 17:02:00

Good job XJ crew. I cant describe how much I admire all your effort. Although, Im a little bit worried that the map releases are too big and come too often. I wouldnt like XJ to become like KZM, with too many "official" maps. That will result in a lower quality of the demos. I have always thought that XJ is standing for high quality, the best jumping there is. Im afraid that those big and frequent map releases might change that picuture. Yet again, I think what you guys do is great. But dont get too eager now. We have a good reputation. And I think Im speaking for all of us when I say that I dont want that to change.

16/01/2011 22:23:00

good maps,thanks to creators

17/01/2011 02:00:00

Creepytemple ftw !

17/01/2011 03:01:00

GJ awesome maps

17/01/2011 06:56:00

[b]qsk_azure[/b] - Interesting design, really unique but somewhat confusing when you first play the map. I can't see this getting beat anytime soon though, gl koukouz if you try it. :P [b]stf_creepytemple[/b] - Played this awhile back, was really fun at first but it got boring quick. I think it'll be an entertaining WR to watch though so I'm looking forward to that. [b]fof_axn_scroll_killa[/b] - Haven't played yet. [b]cg_d2block_ez[/b] - Really chill map, I like the jumps and there aren't many bhop combos so it's my style map. :] [b]kzsca_watertemple[/b] - Played in XJ pub today, even though the temple theme is overused I find this one unique and it has some creative jumps. Looking forward to watching this WR also. Overall, 8/10. Pretty diverse selection of maps, with something for everybody. gj all
