* A particular example from ''2004' is Sjoerd "Hourences" de Jong: in that game, both [[http://ut2004stats.epicgames.com/index.php?stats=maps the most played map overall]] and the most played Onslaught map were made by him, and found their way onto the demos, no doubt helping people get a feeling of how awesome ''2004'' is. Other contributions of his include DM-1on1-Idoma, DM-Rrajigar, ONS-Dawn, ONS-Dria and ONS-Adara, the latter from the ''ECE'' pack. Hourences later worked on the RPG ''The Chronicles Of Spellborn'', and released two books called "The Hows and Whys of Level Design".

It became a constant since ''VideoGame/{{Unreal|I}}'' for Creator/EpicGames to pick up members of their community, so they can work with them. ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' came to the stores with around 8 mappers having worked on it, some of them gathered from the same ''Unreal'' community. The game was a success. Also, its modding and mapping community grew very well. By the time ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament2004'' came out, the quantity of mappers grew up to almost 20. Due to this, Epic Games tried to do [=UT3=] more "modding friendly". Some particular examples include:
