and its soo much prettier than comet catcher

"pretty" and "red comet" are mutually exclusive concepts tbh

In terms of looks, Green Comet > CCR or Red Comet

Maybe I should make a Yellow Comet.

I disagree, although green comet comes very close.

Comet catcher redux isnt that pretty imo, mainly because its big gray, and has much prettier replacements, IE red and green comet.

I've had a few fun games on Mars.... on the other hand it's ultra-compressed so downloading it seperate wouldn't be a problem for anyone.

Mars and Small Divide are starting to look very dated. Anybody who needs them can download them. It's certainly time for a change.

I agree with AF's sentiment that Red Comet should become part of the default maps, but capacity of replacing Small Divide as the 1v1/2v2 map. I think both Mars and Small Divide are very outdated, and don't leave a good impression on new users compared to the current map output and standards.

What would be good is for someone to refer to a new map, or make if it doesn't exist, that fills the same requirements of Mars as a small pack-in map for 3v3, but isn't red or comet anything :P

Mars needs a better heightmap and newer looking textures.

What we really need is to get Flooded Desert back in the distro.

And what about that really old nameless map... test1 or something like that? That was pretty cool looking.

Mmm, I think while Mars doesn't have heaps to offer gameplay wise, it's certainly a better showcase map then Red Comet. Red Comet is nice, but I prefer the other comet remakes; and there are plenty of other maps which could also be included in the general release.

With a little more work on the metal map (Realistic Distribution) and a better texture (Hell, even one of my MS-Paint wonders) Mars could be a great showcase map.

1+, but if we get Red Comet as well it might be a little too red.

if sum1 gives me permission I could revisit it with better texture etc.

note: I would have to correct the heightfield as it is bad for base construction.
