What about 'Eternal Arenas'  that map could look good from a player point of view. anybody who knows the originals could get a kick out of seeing it.

Or maybe we could make a map, using a room or two of some of the best Gen maps, just for the vid? it could then have a few big open areas.

... was going to suggest Eternal Arenas aswell. It's not open spaced, but good angles *are* possible, you'd just have to edit vid later to get only those. I think its unnecessary to refer the nostalgic/re-enactment reasons behind the choice On the subject, an Eternal Arenas 2 (much more expanded/layout thought out) would rock...

Personally I believe you should go with the most popular maps.

Quake:
 I never played it online, just countless hours on Lan, I like "House Of Chthon", nice and open.

Quake 2:
The Edge, obviously this is the most popular map. Sadly though there is alot of that vertical madness Tab. mentioned, however showing this map with the vertical madness is kinda debatible. Showing it though will get the Quake 2 fans all in.

Doom:
Simply Dead (red2m7 is the remake) was a favorite (well it was with alot of my friends and online friends). However that is a very basic map which would be hard to get the whole Doom gameplay in, since the trademark BFG isn't in it.

Earth:
Personally I cannot think of any maps, I found Wolfenstein 3D better than RTCW, I am just more of a classic gamer. There are not any real maps which show off Wolfenstein 3D except for the Generations map. Honestly the best way I can think of advertising this side is to make a whole new map which has RTCW and Wolf3D level design in it. Getting the classic look will get many interested and so will the RTCW look.
Personally though, I miss the RTCW Telsa - are there ever any plans to include this as Earths Lightning gun replacement (of course balance the hell outta it).

Quake 3: Use the favorite Q3DM17

I would have to say in this video to get the best advertising it would require a few games. As in on the Quake 1 map everyone plays as SlipGaters for awhile and record. Do same for Q2, Doom and Earth (play as everyone as the class, then later have all classes). Have the whole basic "Earthlings" "Doomers" "Slipgaters" "Stroggs" "Gladiators" intro where it shows the only battles. Then at the end show the whole "Throw them all together" and then show the footage of all the classes taking eachother out.

Of course this whole post is just my opinion (also I didnt read this entire post), just tossing out a few ideas.

Hmm must of missed it. I did play it but awhile ago, with Quake 3's gameplay I basically overlooked it because of the size (I generally have a 1 on 1,  and a map that small doesn't work out too well for balancing.)

So whats the status on the videos?
LOL.
Sorry for bringing her back to topic.
 

I'm avaliable any weekday after 8pm Eastern, and all day on Tuesdays.

I'm not avaliable between 2pm and 9pm Eastern on Saturdays, but should be able to play before or after that.

Doesn't look like it. It needs to be more effectively promoted I think (and we'll need to be clear on a specific date. Next week is better, the week after more so, in this respect.
