I think people should start posting more switches. That has to start off with ideas, though. Post them here!
No, not at all, switches don't help gameplay much. Also, switches are just irritating things in maps you have to cope with. People just use switches to amaze, and only like two maps actually pull them off well.
There is so much I disagree with you. Switches help so much. Now, there is a lack for switches, and they have made amazing things. I still only look for switch maps.
Switches do help, but only if they are built for a purpose, not just to have the next "coolest mechanism" I hope you mean this as a thorough thread on how to make new switches and whatnot, not just "hey, I want a switch that lets you have a traditional drawbridge like medieval times"
good, im currently working on an infection variant that uses a two-pronged switch (based somewhat on Devinish's elevator) to alter the normal gameplay. when I'm done with the map (or at least most of it) I'll post the mechanism here.
