do screenshots taken from areas reachable by means of (quad)rocketjumping act as gameplay screenshots?

1. true-to-gameplay screenshots can be just as misleading as noclip screenshots
2. noclip screenshots can can be just as useful and informative as true-to-gameplay shots
3. therefore, noclip shots are not pointless or useless at all. They are just as good as the other kind for previewing a level prior to downloading.
Since you agree with #1 and don't make any comment against #2, why don't you agree with #3?
 Er...

 Extended Video Footage Of Actual Gameplay Is Pointless And

unrepresentative of the game. After all, whoever is playing isn't playing exactly like you will, are they?
Seriously, noclip screenshots are not a problem. Deception and/or misrepresentation is a problem. This doesn't seem complicated.
 Speaking Of Deception...

Have you ever been dissapointed becuase the name of a level is too good compared to the level itself?
I remember thinking "The Soul Grinder" must be some awesome, mythological machine buried at the heart of the level. Turns out it was just a bunch of rooms with monsters in it.
I once named a level "Concourse" becuase i figured that name's blandness matched the blandness of the level itself.

I once named a level "Penile Devastation" and it had a giant penis in it, so I hope no one was disappointed.
Also, I once named a level "s4wk" but some people seem to think it's actually pretty good.

I know I was severely disappointed when I played godfun.bsp and it was neither god nor fun.

You misread; that was supposed to be GodfUn.bsp, and it WAS both godf and un.

I knew you were joking. I was too (at least before the "seriously").
Maybe we both failed? :)

Everyone will continue to take screenshots how they want and name maps with titles better than the actual map.

You're doing better than me. Shit, I've only gotten as far as facebook...
Whatever though, I think it's agreed that your mapping is more important.
