Smolders I'view

[CSN NewsBot]

Continuing their series of interviews with top CS mappers, Battle-Fields.com has just interviewed Rob Smolders, creator of de_rotterdam, de_rotterdam2 and cs_robbery. Here's some sugar from it:

I believe you had hopes for a possible release in time for CS 1.3. What happened there?



Oh yes this map should’ve been in CS 1.3 IMO, it was in on time and an old version with bad gameplay was tested for CS 1.0 and the players at the playtest didn’t like it much. But I know what was wrong so I fixed those things and made the map even nicer but Cliffe didn’t want to look at it anymore.

If Rob Smolders created de_rotterdam, I do not consider him to be one of the top cs mappers.

rotterdam was a nice map.I played cs_robbery over at the UG servers when it was running and that is a beautiful map.:p

i didnt mind rotterdam, although it was annoying to come out onto the catwalk and get sniped, or maybe its just cause i like dark maps

I am aware, rizzuh. Notice I said "do not consider", clearly stating only my OPINION.

[ShoNuff]

Robbery is a cool map.

Looks as though he's been tarnished by ppl not liking Rotterdam, shame.

[rizzuh]

Yes, and I agree with you. Rotterdam is a horrible map.



Thus the reason Jesus loves you.

[Sikkibahm]

Ahhhh, I see.
