Thursday Game Of GunRace & XMas CTF
The Thursday Game this week will be the GunRace Mod. To keep in the Christmas spirit all the XMas mod death match maps will be played on the day. I also suggested adding the official GunRace maps and my four latest death match map releases.
There will also be some XMas CTF played.

Questions For Kingpin Developer
Method has arranged for Ryan Feltrin, one of the developers of Kingpin, to answer any questions ppl want to pose to him.
Becasue of problems with the timing trying to organise an actual Q and A this will take the form of written questions that will be sent to him and he will respond.
Ryan was a developer on Kingpin and mainly developed the AI and Bagman mode!
This from an old interview with him-
remain adamant that it was my idea. I was always a huge CTF fan from Quake1 and
even moreso Quake2. So adding a similar element to Kingpin was very important to
me. However, I wanted to make sure it had that Kingpin feel, so it couldnt just
be a straight copy. Since a fundamental aspect of the game was money, I figured
this should be the basis of the multiplayer also. The design just flowed from
there, pretty much.
New Death Match Map - The Black Realm
After I converted the Claustrophobic Edge map by sst13 I showed him some screenshots. He was impressed and sent me another of his Quake maps to convert to Kingpin.
This one is called The Black Realm and is a small gothic style death match map. It is a one room map that contains several columns, seval wall torches, uses minimal textures and has 10 player spawns.
The map has the rocket launcher, tommy gun, shotgun, HMG and pistol mods. It has one set of armour and 7 small healths.
You can download The Black Realm from here.
New XMas Mod Map XMas Immortal Combat
Sorry for delay in releasing this map as my intenret was down for three days sigh.
XMas Immortal Combat is a Bagman map for the XMas mod and is a remake of the standard Team Imortal Combat Bagman map.
It has all the usuall XMas mod additions like Christmas music, decorations, Christmas trees, snow etc.
Other than that the only real change from the standard verson is that I changed some of the armour around after a suggestion form Xanarki.
You can download XMas Immortal Combat from here.
