First off I want to point out I'm not an experienced mapper at all.
Second off, that shouldn't matter at all, my opinion is as important as anybody else's. Remember, the map is supposed to be played by "players" not just "mappers" or "BNs/QATs".
So, I've been following the discussion a bit, and after playing the map, I think it's quite enjoyable. In fact, I think it is great, and I feel like this should be ranked.
But apparently a lot of other people feel different about this. Apparently a lot of people feel like a major problem is, that they think the spacing is overkill, and that the map is overall too difficult. I completely disagree...
While I'm not experienced in mapping, that shouldn't mean I shouldn't be able to judge the intensity of the song. And this song is pretty intense, I don't see how anybody disagrees with that. It's got distorted guitars and aggressive drums/drum fills throughout the entire song, that honestly wouldn't be too out of place in a heavy metal song. So the difficulty seems appropriate to me.
While I do agree, that it is important to listen to mods, I also think it's important to not necessarily make any changes you disagree with, since even a bunch of experienced mappers can be biased, or simply wrong.
I have a lot of respect for Xexxar for sticking to his guns, and wish him the best of luck on this map, as well as future ones!
