    As if you didn't see this coming.

    That's right, folks. Vehiculation is back, and this time it's inviting your friend/girlfriend/spouse/captor along for the ride! Vehiculation Co-Op (or Co-opulation as the early build have been called) uses a slightly modified version of the previous gametype, but aims puzzles at teamwork, as well as the unique game mechanics that made Vehiculation attract so much attention.

    Over the next few week I will update this thread with intel and screenshots that will help you once the final puzzle is released. Currently, most of the challenges are either under construction or being optimised to make your experience as streamlined as possible. For now, have this piece of intel.

    Screenshots (In spoiler):

    What's New?

    Checkpoints:
    Thank the lord for that, eh? When Vehiculation was created, the assumption was that players would warp back to their vehicle upon death. This, annoyingly, was not the case. However, in Co-Op, players may die and spawn on their teammate, provided they haven't died too. Furthermore, checkpoints and unlockable doors are being used to easily move players back to where they died.

    New Mechanics:
    With the addition of an extra player, Vehiculation has gained a number of extra mechanics, which will be explained in due time. If you have played the original Vehiculation, you will be familiar with some of the mechanics, but the map is designed to introduce players to the mechanics to create a fun yet challenging puzzle.



    Featured Vehicles:

    Mongoose
    Aka: "Mobile Base"
    The UNSC Mongoose will be your new best friend. Forget the kid on the back waving his sword around, the Mongoose will be far more useful to you. I mean, can your friend run that fast? The 'Goose will act as your primary vehicle, and you will warp to it after 10 seconds on being on foot. There are certain things that set the Mongoose apart from the other vehicles, but for now they are being kept secret.

    Turrets
    Aka: "???"
    Ah, turrets. You'll soon find them to be great companions on your quest. Whether you need a new friend, or just a place to rest and reset your 10 seconds, the turrets will be there for you.

    That's all for now, folks. ;)

    I am also working on a puzzle map, a remake of one I relised before. With halo ball many new ways to create puzzles are now available and can make things interesting. What gametype were you planning on using for this puzzle?

    Vehiculation used Rocket Race, so I'm continuing using that. It's crazy how many game mechanics Bungie didn't tell us about. I'll have to pop in and have a look at what you've got, bounce ideas off you and whatnot.

    Edit: New screenshots up!

    I'm a huge fan of the original. New ways to create puzzles, using race, such as this, were spawned on your very creation. Don't take that a disgusting way. It's a compliment.

    I'm very much looking forward to this, as I have a buddy who loves doing co-op puzzles too.

    Important update!

    Well, depending on your outlook on life...

    Anyway, I'm looking for some testers for this map. It would help if I coudl find two people who will communcate properly, because obviously a degree of cooperation is necessary.

    Leave your gamertags here and I'll sned you game invites if I catch you online. :)

    You can count me in for testing. I downloaded this map awhile ago, but never got around to playing it due to my xbox having the RROD. Send me an invite sometime. I'd like to try it out.
