River

4v4 Breakout

Map Description

    Textures Updated!

    The 3rd map from my Gears of War Breakout series. This was a really fun map to make, because River is my favorite Gears of War 2 map. It isn't an exact remake, but it's pretty close.

    I tried using natural light sources to light the insides of all the buildings. I don't really know how I feel about them. Also Don't know how I feel about the street lights, so some feedback would be great! :) Edit: lowered streetlight brightness.

    The weapon spawns are similar to Gears. Instead of a mortar, there is a 50% energy incineration cannon. Instead of a Boomshot, there is a Railgun with 2 shots. There are 2 snipers in the two story buildings. There are 2 Halo 1 magnums and there are 2 splinter grenades.

    This map only supports Breakout game variants. You can run slayer on it, but the spawns are terrible. I also tweaked the Execution gametype to fit Gears a little more. Won't really go into detail but I tweaked the spartan dash, jump height, and some other things. May still need tweaking. If anyone is willing to help test with me, add me!

    Incin Cannon, Sniper, AND Railgun? For a breakout map that's for 8 players?

    Too much firepower for breakout man. Not to mention you also have 2 Halo CE magnums. And I'm not so sure about these 1hk weapons in breakout in the first place. Makes it too easy for some to get killed. Weapons like the Hydra Launcher work in Breakout because there's time for the player to dodge to projectiles and find cover.

    With the weapons you have on here, anyone who gets hit by them gets killed because of the breakout health settings.

    I would highly suggest changing and removing some of the weapons on this map.

    Thank you for the feedback! I was actually hoping someone would comment on the weapons available on the map. I'll be changing them now! :)

    I would also suggest doing the same to the sniper on your Clocktower remake

    You should add a little bit more cover on the river itself. Still, I really enjoyed the game I had here in my lobby earlier. Well done
