Man, all you drunks...



a "corona" is : a faintly colored luminous ring appearing to surround a celestial body visible through a haze or thin cloud, especially such a ring around the moon or sun, caused by diffraction of light from suspended matter in the intervening medium.



NOT a beer.



And I think that comrade really doesn't fit the essence of the map...although rust was submitted quite often, it sounded like a good one. I also liked de_MAD and de_sentinel, as they were very fitting. The people who chose names like de_armory obviously didn't read about the map setting =p

[Highpinger]

de_erection was the winner, rze knows that D=

[JdeFalconr]

Spazm you've never seen a Corona beer before? Are you from the east coast or something? They do exist, you know.

de_relapse is okay for the theme but doesn't represent the map at all. de_ironcurtain is great with its double meaning in context and setting. I think comrade captures the whole soviet union thing sure, but it just isn't very exciting or map relevant. I tried to think of a few de_red... names for that angle, de_redground, de_redfall. Finally for the whole soviet union/nuclear reference I thought de_legacy. But in the end the whole soviet-union connection when you read the map blurb is only a fragment of the picture barney conveyed of the map; so why base the name completely on it?



I agree with Lag Leech's comment, with this great oportunity for creativity plus the thousands of submission, you'd think something more impressive than de_comrade would win.

Well i could have just named it myself, saved everyone the time of having to get pissed off at the "unimaginative" name



Thats what you get for trying to give something back to the community i guess

[Bu||etpr00f]

No, you shouldn't have named it yourself. If that were the case, it probably would have been far worse than de_comrade. So, you did good, even though your brain could not comprehend anything too far beyond a russion word. Suprised you didn't pick de_vodka. Just messin' man; keep up the good map making.

[CaRNi4]

Mine was de_Ironcurten.



Thought that was prety kewl too :) But de_comrade it is..

[[SA]Astral (Moonfrost)]

How about "de_snatch", ey? Come on, who said the name must be relevant to the map itself? :)

[Highpinger]

I TOLD YA DE_ERECTION WAS THE F*CKIN WINNAR!!!!!!!!!!!1

[[SA]Astral (Moonfrost)]

Nah, I know an even better one, but i'm not gonna tell you (in case of some n00b tries to steal my idea) :)!

[Sikkibahm]

Astral, the contest is over. Why worry if a "n00b" tries to steal your idea?

MAN,

I thought with all these submissions we would have he best possible name there could be. A legendary aww inspiring name that would capture the essence of such a map and convay the over all feeling that you recieve since THOUSANDS of subbmissions were turned in. And when I found out it was De_Comrade, that just fell short.



P.S.: Mine was de_ironcurtain, which I thougt was good b/c it said about the whole steel theme of the map and since it was used to describe the U.S.S.R. in the famous whinston churchill quote. Oh well, it was a little long any ways.

that IS a good name
