I'm glad you like it! Originally I built a statue of an Elite in the center where that pedestal was, the statue was holding an energy sword that you could pick up, unfortunately the statue had to be quite big so it was hard see what it was supposed to be from up close and the energy sword it was holding looked too small compared to the statue. I've thought a bit about making a larger building, I just mihght do it. By the way, the pallettes are there so you can't see someone coming through the passageway and to make it a bit secret-er. Also where did you get out of the map? I might try to fix it. (although it's really hard to escape it without making the walls look stupid.
I might want to let ya know: The map is easily escapable. The fusion coils can be rolled out and be used to boost onto the roof. I did it several times in row. Other than that, I really like it. It stays true to its theme, and works well for 3 person FFA more than anything. Nice job.
yes it can be escaped, by doing the method mentioned above, and also by a special way you stand onthe pedestal and grenade jump to the door (upright double wall) behind you and from there on everything is pretty straightforward. also i played it again and i think it would be good to have something on the pedestal like a long respawning overshield or power weapon (which would mean taking out a few other power weapons) and maybe you could sink the pedestal(stone platform) into the ground a little so you can't jump up to the door, and maybe have really high walls around the village (or a roof). also i have to ask, did you run out budget, or did you hit the object limit or anything? and you were using a budget glitched canvas right?
No I did not use a budget glitched map, and no I didn't run out of objects either. . It's official, Im making a sequal to this map. I'm taking everyones comments into consideration. It's gonna be bigger, inescapable, etc. The new one will also look WAY better aestheticly. Tell me if you guys have any other suggestions. If you like Hamlet you're gonna LOVE the new map.
awesome! maybe you could have a small sewer, or a jail. also you should use a stacked, budget glitched map if it's gonna be bigger. (btw i'm impressed that you did this without budget glitch, whenever i try to do something this size without budget glitch i get screwed an run out of cash half way)
The sequel is hopefully finished. The testing thread can be found here: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/teste...st-saturday-january-23rd-2010-a-new-post.html EDIT: Its finished: http://www.forgehub.com/forum/competitive-maps/95180-awesome-town.html#post1130280
