Heavily modified. At most it is a derivative work.
However small divide is in the installer and that hasnt been resized, retextured drastically, and rebalanced. Its stilly pretty much the same map as OTA. So I think the copyright issue is actually safer with red comet than small divide.

I would prefer Red Comet over Mars any day. Mars's textures are not a pretty sight, red comet looks like something I might even play regularly.

Maybe an idea if all source material would be available (GPL'ed) so the map can be reworked if copyright issues would arise later on.

Loel, you just use the heightmap of the map...? Just change one pixel and its yours... no more copyright issues.

IIRC the heightmap of this map has been remade several times.

Mars IS incredibly fun for testing, but it doesn't show off the engine at all.

As long as its the only Comet Catcher remake bundled with Spring - sure, why the hell not?

Why Red Comet rather than Comet Catcher Redux?

smaller, prettier, more uptodate, better for smaller games.
You cant expect 2 noobs who want a quick game to spend ages capping mexes on comet catcher and waiting to kill the enemy. And theyr not gonna sit for 8 more players either.
Redcomet can give them a nice quick 1v1 or 2v2 game.

why replace? +666 on include, but leave Mars alone, one bigger map should be bundled, too. (It could use a revitalization, though.)

Wait, are we talking about the same map?
CCR is excellent for 1v1 or 2v2 games.
If your objective is to edumacate the nubs, CCR teaches the importance of quick expansion and mex-building.
