It is not dedicated(I am running the server off my PC) so it won't be online all the time, its status can be seen in this post. But if there is someone who wishes to run the map pack on their server please do tell, you would be doing us a huge favour, and I would be very grateful.
Finally here are the contestants, in order of submission:
The Pyramide by Post-Human-Warrior3

The map has a dark and stormy atmosphere, including wind, rain and lightning. The inside of the pyramide can be accessed via one top and two ground entrances.

PD: Since i just finished the map and theres little time left i couldn′t test if the map works properly in MP though i followed the official documentation steps, if i made any mistake i would appreciate if you could fix it, thanks.
PD2: if you like this map please give me some feedback about what you like/dislike/want so i know if i spend more time improving this (outside of this contest) by adding other game modes, vegetation, more and higher quality props, making it bigger, etc
Map
Desert Combat by SonicTheHedgeTrimmer
![Image](http://www.crymod.com/download/file.php?id=68363)
Description
A small/medium sized map set in a desert town. There's a few interesting spots for different gameplay opportunities. One being a container yard where you can verticly manoeuvre the containers. There's a few good vantage points for snipers like the mansions attic, the roof of the gun shop or any other various building roofs.
Around the map you'll find hidden weapons in various specially chosen spots. You may want to look beyond the town walls for something and also check out what's with the round-abouts pools ;D
I would have liked to take off custom loadouts and make the weapons in the map re-spawn after a certain time...but I have no idea how lol. Maybe when I do figure out how I'll add it in and re-upload it with other additions/fixes.
It supports IA and TIA and is designed for 6 to 12 players.

Note by AtsEst: You will need cw2_steelmill for all the textures to display properly
There is an additional map in the map pack that is made by me, originally for the contest, but it is not a part of the voting, because it would be unethical of me to take part as a contestant(as pointed out in the original thread). And thus the map is just an extra. Any feeback on it should be posted in the orignal thread, not here.
If you have any comments, feedback or anything else you would like to say then feel free to post it.
