too bad it doesn't, because then I'd have another way to easily piss you off.

Imo the difference between Mission and Map is easy.

A Map is a thing, where you haven't any obejctives. Like Deathmatch or Team Deathmatch

A Mission is a thing, were you have Objectives that you must fulfill.

The Assault Mode in UT2k4 have Missionobjectives, so thats a Mission, not a Map, but only a few know it;)

In DM you haven't a objective and thats a Map.


I don't see a "Mission" in FS2 MP where you must only Kill other Players, imo it's a Map.

Uh... no. A map is not a gametype, it's what people play in. Think about it; if you have a treasure map, and it's got a big red cross on it where the treasure is. So, since the objective is obviously to get the treasure, that piece of paper you're holding is suddenly a mission? Doesn't sound right to me.

They're called maps because that's basically what they are; a map of all the landscape and objects and things.

/me thinks Blaise Russel is funny, but still thinks you guys are stupid for complaining when it's so blatantly obvious anyway, that it doesn't really matter.

/me thinks that Knight Templar is a grumpy guy.

It's just an annoying thing. When you say you make a map for FS2, you lump FS2 into the FPS genrea, which probably isn't a good thing, imo.

I've said the same thing myself about Descent levels.  To me, a "map" implies the two-dimensionality of first-person shooters. Missions in Freespace and Descent mines are fully 3-dimensional.  To me, "map" is an insult .
