Icons owned this round. Great job guys.

Just to let you know, in the first link you put h2h2 in lowercase and the second one you did it in uppercase and the first link gave me an error until I changed it to uppercase. Might just be a problem on my computer cause it seems to have worked for glitchwolf, but either way you should probably change that.

^ It's fixed, Ed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Oly shit! A new H2H!!!! I'll post comments after viewing them.


I voted for the Icons... and more than just because they're my team.

Basically, for the Pufferfish, if this was any other week, they probably would have won. Their park was amazingly themed, had a nice Arrow multi-looper and an interesting log ride. The theme was somewhat new, but the execution was just impeccable, and the overall look was just great.

But the Icons' park blew me away. The architecture was just astounding, and the level of detail was just incredible. This really shows the stuff you can do in RCT 2. The coaster was pretty nice, but the atmosphere was just perfect. It perfectly captured the essence of a French town, and the names in French were a nice touch. But it's the details that really make it. I noticed that just when the coaster goes underground just after the vertical loop, it goes through some cannon smoke, as if the cannons were shooting at the train. Nice touch. This park has done a lot more to advance RCT 2 than the other did to advance RCT 1, and ultimately, that confirmed my vote. First Gila, now this.

GO ICONS!!!

This park has done a lot more to advance RCT 2 than the other did to advance RCT 1

...with the difference that it's at least 50 times harder to advance RCT1 than 2!
My RCT2 is screwed so I can't view it but it does look nice from the screen. Taff round...

Go Pufferfish !!!

Go Icons that H2H2 Kicked arse

The park was amazing I loved the layout and look to the standup coaster. the architecture was awesome and really captured a french town the atmosphere was also excellent. fantastic work.

Anuradhapura was also a very cool rct1 park I liked the arrow coaster alot and that log flume but I just feel in love with the Icons park and thats why this lost.

Even though they are gonna lose this round...probably by alot...I thought that Anuradhapura was the better of the two. Icons was too...RCT2ish, not that I have anything against RCT2, but I just hate the style of archy that RCT2 provides. It really is too blocky, IMO, and RCT1 just tops it off.

Anuradhapura was pure RCT1 and it was great. It has just the style of archy and theming that I like, and the coaster was great. You guys got my vote, it was pure eye candy and sooo pretty.

i voted for the rct2 park, but barely. it really wasn´t anything clear cut.

the rct1 park was a nice fatha´ rip off. the coaster i just didn´t really like, but the theming and the water ride was very nice. The rct2 park had it´s moments. But really, french names with a dutch flag is imo just horrible. and then the supports on the coaster were soooooooo ugly. i can´t believe anyone could build that and not see how bad it was fitting in the park. i voted for the rct2 park coz the feel was very pleasant, and yes very rct2ish. i seem to have times in which i prefer rct1 and times in which i prefer rct2, and that is probably the reason for the outcome of my vote.

Villes des lumieres was absolutely stunning...
Perfect french town and captured that atmosphere !!
Layour of steel was good and the steel mouse spinner was a nice touch !!


Anhadrunpa or whatever was alaso a very nice park and wud have won on other weeks..
Shame it came up against this !

good round but.....

Go icons

Im guessing Toon and posix made this one for putter ?

but I just hate the style of archy that RCT2 provides. It really is too blocky, IMO

I know thats your opinion but thats what france is like mainly...so it captured it well...

The only thing I don't like about Ville Des Lumieres is the supports under the lift hill. I like the idea, but the objects used are lacking. Otherwise great job! The architecture and feel of the park are amazing.

Anuradhapura is a great mini as well, but extolling the virtues of my own team's park seems self-serving.

Great job on both these parks. This round may stay close, but I'm not sure.

Both parks were amazing, Ville Des Lumieres just grabbed it for me because it fits the name so well and they have got what they have gone for. Anuradhapura was a really nice Rct1 park and I think it could have grabbed an easy win if it was'nt up against such a strong competition.

Great round both teams though

well id first like to say that h2h2 needs more publicity,maybe a news lnk at every update because i only just saw that there was one.

As for the parks the rct1 park was nice but had something missing that I couldn't quite put my finger on but the rct2 park seemed to have a better atmosphere for some reason so icons got the vote.

LOL... isn't the RCT 1 park even blockier than Ville des Lumiere? The part where the log ride is is almost completely blocks! LOL


Evil WME makes a nice point about the supports, though. They looked pretty organic, but they are rather.... unique.

I fail to see how the Pufferfish's park is a Fatha rip-off..

You were less than a day behind so just noticing it isnt all that bad.

As for the parks, City of Lights takes this one for me. Both parks were actually really close, because the Pufferfish's park was truly amazing also. I think City of Lights really pulled ahead in atmosphere and detail. The small French town feel was just captured perfectly and its really an awesome sight. I also thought the map was used more fully in City of Lights, looks as if buildings are everywhere pulling the theme across further. Should be an interesting round... as long as icons stay on top at least.

Two of my favorite teams put up against each other. I should of seen this coming. The Icons had a splendid park, good use of custom scenery, and the name fits perfectly, but there wer a few things that really lost it for me. The supports and that catwalk thingy on the stand-up, they just didn't look right, the spinner-mouse, it didn't fit in going from brown to black so quick. The trees, flowers, bushes, and scenary were perfect though, thats what made it so hard.

Finally after a few rounds of Enie-Meanie-Mynie-Moe,m and some deep thought I voted Pufferfish. Their entry was perfect. Although the coaster was alittle boring the buildings were fantastic. The use of mine train coaster was well executed, just an all-around great park.

So there you have it. this round for me bolied down to surroundings, and even though it looks like the Icons will win only time will tell. Good luck to both of you, but...

My allegiance stayes with the fish,
Hevydevy

I have to vote for City of lights just because i think it looks better and was a better park. I would like to disagree about the statement someone made about all RCT2 archy being blocky. Go look at a few of the RCT2 parks people are making like WDE or Aero's new one or Mr. Cross's park.

I think the archy can be approved greatly by the less experienced, but I think those who are a natural at the game makes the archy look good....

HT

mmmm.... iconage...

I liked the Pufferfish's map a lot more. Why, I do not know. Hell, I even hate Adicks, and that's the deciding factor in my vote, but Anur... Whateverthefuck was too good not to vote for. Cheers.
