Until September 14th, I am going to be keeping a little list here of what maps I'd like to make. Now that the Reach Forge video has been shown, I can begin to use my imagination a little bit more. I also invite everybody to share their thoughts and what kind of maps they are going to be making. You can even find some People to do some Collaborations with. First up is going to be a Jump Rope type game. My Awesome pictures You can see the people who are suppose to jump in the middle, and the shooters (which have focus rifles) on the outsides. The Focus rifle can only shoot through a little slit in the wall so that will stop people from shooting the laser up and at awkward angles. A somewhat easier to understand image of the map. You can see the lasers going through the slits in the walls and the Jumpers must then dodge them. I color coded everything so refer to the key above. This is the sketchup version of the jump rope map. This is my latest design. The river would be made with the water from Forge world and I think I might have the Waterfall pouring into the center of the map. Questions? Your turn to share!
Hopefully the reach beta will have infection with destination points so that you can do the "Campaign" Zombie maps better.
Nice! It looks nice! But will the laser people be able to see where they are shooting? Like to see if they are almost hitting someone.
Hmmmm...I'm sure I can get that to work. There might be possibilities of invisible barriers in the objects they have laid out, so that could help you see very easily. Otherwise I gotta just brainstorm some more
Use a second visible barrier as the seeing hole if there is no glass or anything, and make it so that that shooters have no jumping ability. Or, simply realize that if you can shoot out it, you can see out it. There is no shooting from the waist in reach guiz. Also how are you gonna deal with the shooters going at an angle? I know that you have them locked verticallly but what if they just set their sensitivity really high and spin back and forth?
I Feel like the player being able to control the horizontal direction will make things even better. an X shaped laser coming from both players on either side will have different outcomes than a | | type laser moving back and forth. EDIT: hmmm you mean like using their sensitivity to make the laser move incredibly fast? I have no idea how I would fix that...
Lulz stickman. Maybe there will be an ability to force a players sensitivity on a custom game. I know its possible, but i doubt it will be included.
Should I change this thread to " What map Ideas do you have for Reach?" because I feel like you guys should be able to share the same as me.
You do not have the ability to change the title of the thread. Ask a mod/admin if you would like, cus i cant really do it either ;D
I'm just purely going to answer this thread because of the topic which is "What Kind of Map Will You Be Making?" Answer: A Good One. I'll be remaking stuff, I know that.
I am straight away going to remake my Gyroscope map in that little foundry like area in forge world. Then possibly make a remake of the Atacama Desert map from Battlefield Bad Company 2 (it has a giant rusted out tanker ship in the middle of it).
I was thinking of making two custom games. 1. Parasites. The juggernaut can pick up weapons. Everyone else has swords and cannot pick up weapons. It's basically infection BACKWARDS. If you kill the human, you become him and thus can pick up weapons to kill the parasites. (Headshots kill). 2. Troy. Idk if anyone played this, but in Halo 2 on Coagulation we'd play 2 teams on CTF. No weapons, only brute shots. No shields, one life. At the beginning of the game it was honor rules to shoot all of your bullets across the map in a hope of getting a kill right off the bat. After the ten second mark no more shooting was allowed. Everyone would run across the map and try to grab the other teams flag and bring it back. Some people were quite sneaky. Others just hit the enemy head on and killed them. If your entire team dies, or if the flag is captured, you win the round.
Race Map I have an idea to make a huge race map. Its also good cause there is a race gametype. Anyway that would be fun. Or a big team griffball. With vehicles etc.
Honor rules Schmonor rules lol no those sound cool, the running around with 1 life and an empty brute shot sounds dope lol yes dope
