This was the first map I ever posted, but I decided to re post on this part of the Forum for the main reason that the map was untested and was still in need of improvement, so I personally believe it shouldn't have been put in that part of the forum and instead put forward as part of a map preview. I posted the map quite early on too so I was unaware of there was a map preview option. If reposting in a different part of the forum is against the rules then I apologise for it as I am unaware of it,so as a direct message to ForgeHub moderators, feel free to remove the post and/or the older one depending on an rule breach or to make it easier to discuss on the map. I copied and pasted much of the old thread in to the new one. This map I remember is going to need a lot of work still, as it's quite old, so some pointers would be great. As always, feel free to give feed back via post or message. A Large Simple Vehicular Map based around a large structure. It has a mix of simple weaponary and a Sniper Rifle and Rocket Launcher near the structure. Generally is Mid to Long range combat with small amounts of CQB near the structure. In Team Matches, the platforms have 2 standard Warthogs and Mongooses each, at the Centre of the Map, near the Structure is a Gauss Wathog and at the edge are a pair of Ghosts, one on each side. Combatible with all gamemodes except Invasion, Infection, Race and Terrortories. The Map also holds a trap with gravity lifts, which traps you in a Soft Kill Zone, this is in the centre of the structure. There are bunkers on one side of the map with turrets. Heres a few more additional screenshots on some of the more major parts of the map. If you need more screenshots I can get some more on later. This is the Blue Team bunker, it contains a Machine Gun turret and a DMR, on the sides of the Bunker are MedKits. This is the same with the Red Bunker. This is the Red Team Platform, in sythemtic (mind spelling) matches, both machine gun Warthogs will be avaliable along with the two Mongooses, but in amsythemtic matches only the Mongooses will be avaliable. This is the side of the structure in which the Two Ghosts are avaliable and the main game changer, the Gauss Warthog, the Two Ghosts are located near the Bunkers but the Gauss Warthog is located near the Centre along with the Sniper Rifle. The Rocket Launcher, is located on the other side of the structure (to the right of the map from Red Bunker Turret). Finally the Grav-Trap, its located at the centre of the structure, you can walk through undettered, but if you jump or use the man cannons, you get trapped and will die after 10 seconds. Let me know how the map is, and again apolgies if the thread is against the rules. and I will accept any infraction on this.
Being that you're new, you probably won't get infracted. Just warned. That happened to me. Just for the pics, could you add some pics without fx? I'm trying to understand the layout but the FX is driving me crazy the red..
I am really, really sure i have indeed seen this map before. And yeah, i dont like the FX either, is just too red. But it looks ok, nice first map
I'm pretty sure he already posted this in the competitive maps section. He's just posting it here because he didn't get enough publicity. The way he's thinking is that there is a problem with the community because it's reception wasn't as grand as he would've liked. Well the problem doesnt lie with us, it lies wit the map. It isn't that great. The fx are unecessary and add nothing to the map. And overall it's pretty open and unoriginal with design. Here is a link to the original post. http://www.forgehub.com/forum/reach-competitive-maps/140589-omega.html I'm not sure if there is a rule against being an attention *****, but there should be.
I've got no problem with the community, neither with the community reception. And hey, at least I wasn't a colossal idiot and ADMITED that I likely unknowingly broke rules, and that I HAD posted the map before, AND accept the possibility of infractions without argument. It's better to admit the truth rather than lying. But I respect your overall opinion Kaos. As for the fx, I will get rid of it and I will get some pics up tomorrow.
Omega Screenshots If that's what you think... If that's what you think... Edited by merge: Heres the map without the FX. Heres the map with an FX that caught my eye as I was on the map. The only probelm is that the Halo glitches out. And heres the Map with purple FX
