This will be my second map on reach but it probably wont be finished for a while as there are still alot of things to be done. This map is going to be an aesthetic map on the Battle of Geonosis from the second star wars movie, it will included several iconic star wars vehicles including the Republic LAAT Gunship which you'll see in the pictures. Although this is an aesthetic map I'll probably try to make it slightly playable in one way or another, be it invasion, CTF or another game mode. The scene will be a republic assault on one of the droid techno union ships, much like that of the geonosis map from star wars battlefront for those who played it. I'm looking for any suggestions or tips that I haven't thought of for this map as well as some feedback. Any suggestions you might have for this map would be greatly appreciated. Comparison picture EDIT* Come on any ideas of things you would wanna see in the map, or any feedback at all?
This looks pretty epic. I love what you did with the gunships. I'd kind of like to see this turn into an Invasion map, or maybe a SWBF-style Big Team Battle Territories map out of this, with a teleporter that will lead to a team's respective gunship. Also, see if you can't build this thing, http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/All_Terrain_Tactical_Enforcer, with maybe a boxed-in Scorpion for the main gun. I'm just thinking aloud here - I don't know if it will work, but what if you gave a Respawn Zone the Territories label? My hope is that it would function as both a Territory and a Respawn Zone, meaning that whatever team controls it could respawn there, just like Battlefront. Just some ideas, and this project is definitely going to be awesome - keep it up!
Yeah the AT-TE is one of the vehicles I am going to make, gonna make either one or two of them depending on how difficult/how many objects it takes to make. I actually really like that idea of the respawn zone being the territory, if it works it'll definatly add a new twist to the map and yeah invasion was one of the gametypes I was going to use.
Um, you might not like my idea. I think you should scrap the gunships and instead use Falcons. Make a small Republic cruiser as launch point or have them launch from the mountain ridges surrounding island.The Confederacy will have a Core ship they are trying to defend with a couple banshees. I would make it an invasion map and in phase 2 have a AT-TE(with tank or warthog fixed on top as main gun) spawn near the core ship.If you like my idea and need help my gamertag is Gigglesbw4. edit: actually I would keep a gunship or 2 but have them on the ground, parked. I think they would be great for spawning and resupplying.
The gunships look good and the whole concept sounds like fun, especially if you can incorporate the AT-TEs as well. Im curious if/how you will build the Confed vehicles. Off the top of my head, I can't think of many forge pieces that will lend themselves to Hellfires or Spiders. Still, I look forward to seeing the finished product. (I also can't resist mentioning the Battle of Hoth Invasion map in my file share, if anyone is interested Edit: Had an idea for you related to an above post. You could easily use the gunships as the are for invasion spawnpoints by simply making a few Jetpacks available inside each one.
In regards to the whole AT-TE concept, i've about half finished the first design of one but I'm not sure if I'm going to incorporate them into the map as I don't particularly like the way it has turned out or the way it looks. In response to the mancannon shooting explosives that would mean that people couldn't move around inside of the gunships and they have mounted turrets inside anyway so mancannons would be kind of redundant and counterproductive. I was thinking about making a republic cruiser as something extra if I had enough objects/budget left and I'm definatly going to try my hand at making a techno union ship as the confederacy base. I'm thinking about trying to make hellfire vehicles (or whatever those things with the big circular wheels are called) as well. I'll post some pictures of the AT-TE so I can get some feedback on how it looks and whether or not you think it should be part of the map.
an epic map but the gu ships are a it strange in look cause i made a few n dey luk just lyk it but with more resorces n i saw u made 2 so dat myt be a reson
