Attention Officers!
We have our winners!
After compiling both the popular vote and the development team votes, with the quality on show with the top three maps, it is unsurprising that the dev score mirrored the popular vote quite closely with only a slight upset at third. Given the enthusiasm and skill on display, that is not surprising at all.
Taking third place, just barely beating out the updated version of Vegrivs classic map, Olympus Theater, is StenTheAwesome Their map, Hot Coffee does something that none of the competitors does and offers two separate scenarios, one for a Raid against a vicious terrorist attack centered on the area, the other for the rescue of a wealthy though not squeaky clean real estate mogul.

Coming in at second is RareKiwi and their rendition of Operation Falcon Hour from Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield! Masterfully recreated using HD assets, the map is densely packed with detail encompassing many tight, dangerous corners that hide suspects juxtaposed by the hanger and outdoor section that give well-placed opponents a clear line of sight on any unprepared team.

Then, coming in at first and surprising noone that recognizes the names involved, is Sanctums Deceit produced by the powerful trifecta of Reap, Matthew9324, and Xeph. Designed and cloaked in lore to be a sequel to the equally masterful Lustful Remorse, featuring a pre-planning screen with extra selectable deployment locations, an amazing scripted helicopter with spotlight, and a jaw-dropping amount of easter eggs.
Sanctums Deceit is simply the pinnacle of Ready or Not map modding, combining an entire community's worth of capability and knowledge to run away with the 5000$ grand prize and in-game representation of each of the team members. Congratulations to all three of you.

Keep creating, and keep saving lives.
