Like 6 years ago, when I played Starcraft?, I noticed the ability to, "Make your own campaigns." So I tried it and I liked it.

Last year when I wanted to make my own level, then quit. Then tried again this year and progressed.

I ended up in the hospital because of a severe snowmobile accident for 2 months. I had my laptop when I was feeling better and had some time on my hands.

I joined a tactical clan (7RB), and they kept complaining about a lack of new maps... but no one ever did anything about it... so I decided to figure out how to build maps.

By some kind of virus sent to me I got sucked into the computer..... and I found myself annoyed with the lack of new levels.

age of empires II, then total anihilation, then rogue spear, then delta force 2, then mohaa.
for rogue spear, you couldnt make the actual level. you used one from the game, and put enemies and players in there. mohaa is the first game ive mapped for where you have to make the whole level. every other one ive used, you just put units and trees etc in. i only got the internet last august tho, so before that, it was only me and people at school who played them, and they were always sp

Starcraft now there was a game, I played time and time again. Still play today from time to time.

I got started mapping after writing server sides mods for the [FS] clan.

I realeased my first map last year..Der Adler....good learning map..but low fps for to many..

Then I released my second map a TOW map, that actually works and has average fps a month ago, Come In Fighting and is on the server rotation of the [FS] Spearhead server

My third, four, and fifth, map i hope to be able to link together some-how like the orignal TOW map idea was suppose to be.

Wow! Somebody else played Total Annihilation?!?! I love that mindless game! That's what I played before MOHAA. I started mapping back last summer. Looked like a good challenge and found it real interesting.
