NHL Shootout

five skaters on the ice, plus a goalie. You thwack the puck with some sticks and try to score a goal. Simple. This map is an as-of-yet-unnamed ice arena where it seems the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers will play. Let's split this into pros and cons. [b]Pros[/b][list][*]It's an ice rink, and it's obvious. There's really no question, which means at the very least the author accomplished making what he was attempting to. [*]It's not just an ice rink, but things like the concession area, locker rooms, and the arena entrance have all been included. [*]One neat feature is the goal horn, which seems to be different for each team. There is a scoring booth on either end of the rink. To set off the horn, all you have to do is bump yourself into the switch for the team you want. [*]The concession area is totally cool.[/list] [b]Cons[/b]:[list][*]The architecture is very blocky. The only thing I thought really looked like what it was supposed to [i]was[/i] the rink itself. And the actual goals themselves... well I don't know what sport they come from, but it's not hockey. [*]The ice doesn't act like ice. :( :( :( No hockey games for you! [*]Texturing is repetitive and not really reminiscent of a hockey rink. Except the rink, of course. [*]No bot support, so [i]definitely[/i] no hockey games.[/list] Maybe I shouldn't be listing some of this stuff, since I confess to not know precisely what JO is not capable of that JA is, but if ice effects [i]are[/i] possible in JO they should definitely be added. I must confess the music is also a bit annoying, though luckily it's soft enough and "background" enough that you can indeed just stop thinking about it and not hear it so much. Overall an interesting idea, but an aesthetic overhaul certainly couldn't hurt. By the way... Calgary and Edmonton? :lol: [b]Bot Support[/b]: No [b]New Textures[/b]: Yes [b]New Models[/b]: No [b]New Music[/b]: Yes ~Inyri
Hockey's not one of the more popular sports, especially in the western hemisphere. But hey, even hockey needs some love, y'know? So you all know the basics of hockey, right? You've got a puck and
