Tier

[AmDDRed]

As you remember, in q3 tiers were made that way as it was kind a training of how to use weapons. At least till Klesk. In-game movie voice confirmed that, entering one or another tier, saying, for example with a tough voice "TRAINING!" (tier1, I guess).

Also there was a logic: you start on q3-gothic maps, then going to hi-tech maps, and then space (smth like that).

And here my idea: mb, we could bring this kind of logic into OA tier. Just a little bit other.
It could be memories about id Software games.
Smth like that:
Tier one: Wolfenstein style - castle, nazi etc (rememberance of wolfenstain 3d, RtCW, W);
Tier two: Doom style - labs, mars, doomer (doom1-2-3);
Tier three: Quake 1 - mb, the best q1 maps, ranger;
Tier four: Quake 2 - the best q2 maps or that style, stroggs, grunt;
Tier five: Quake 3 remakes;
Tier six: OA bests.

In original Q3 there was tier 0 - with Crash. In our case it could be Commander Kane style - map with light defrag elements.

So that it is )

Sadly all the tribute maps will be removed from the default OA install in the future, and they'll only be available as an extra package.

Also, every bot as announced in Q3 singleplayer, and the tiers have no relative connections nor each other nor they wanted to be a trainer map.

Only q3dm0 was a training map, featuring Crash.

Mm..
They all were kind a training maps - with growing difficulty.
Started with 1-2 unit on map, ended up with more - and bots from end are more "skilled".
At list for me fight with Klesk on nightmere was break point ))

Also, the name of the tiers:
1 - training;
2 - skill;
3 - combat
4 - warrior
5 - federate???
6 - master
7 - elite

Like - first you train, then you gain a little bit skill, then you're let to real combat; and only then you can be counted as a warrior. ))) Just IMO.

Btw why can't remakes be used?

About Q3 tiers, I'm not sure, but maybe he says "1 - Trainee" and "2 - Skilled"...
