Map - The Swings Version 2 Original Idea By: I Cottage I Recreated By: Mike N ACE 92 and xxKaizenxx Link to the original version: LINK Map Download - LINK Game Variant Needed: Stay Game Variant Download - LINK Well, I had an idea that I wanted to try. My idea was making a remake of the popular minigame, The Swings! Now, in the swings, it was fun, but there were two issues. One of these issues was the humans ambushing the zombie and assassinating him. (Which was funny) Another issue was when the box fell, it would fall so that the zombie could not get in. Well, both of these issues are now fixed permanently in this version 2! That's right folks, no more issues. With a big help from xxKaizenxx, we recreated this awesome mini game map! No more assassinating the zombie and no more having the container land so the zombie can't kill the humans. In this version, if the humans fall out, they are dead, as they will fall to their death. Demonstrated by this picture right here. Also, if the box is knocked off, you don't have to worry about it landing so that the zombie can't get into it, because; demonstrated by this picture, the box is gone, goodbye. I hope you guys enjoy this map as much as Kaizen and I made it! Have fun!
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! This is just like the orignal map. The gameplay is just the same. The only thing different is that the boxes fall off a cliff.
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! Love it. Great, clean execution. Good job on touching up an already great game, harvesting perfection. =D I'd put a link to the original map, though, just to keep things nice. Nice job on giving credit, though.
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! I love the idea, b/c if your the humans your screwed. There is no way that you can escape. That was the only downfall of the original, the fact that you might be able to run away.
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! Yes, I will have to say running away was fun, however it solves the assassination problem. Good job guys. -Donuts
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! Agreed, rusty. Everyone ought to take this as an example on how to perfect a map. Contrary to belief, originality isn't ALWAYS what we want (although it is highly valued). Perfection of an already good map is another way to find fame and glory. Er, I mean, another way to help the community. And philanthropic stuff. Ahem.
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! cool, glad you guys are liking it! and me and some guys are playing it right now if you wanna join, dont be afraid to
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! You're both welcome. And, welcome to the boards, Kaizen. I'd love to play, but I'm nowhere near my XBOX. =( Nine hours away, actually. How depressing.
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! aww that sucks, i wish you can play it its just like the first one gameplay and everythings the same but the humans dont stand a chance hehe >=) 8) 8)
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! true that, lol i wish this map would get a lot of attention though, i want ppl to know about it i want ppl to believe that this is just as good as the first one but with fixed issues
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! I understand your desire, Mike, but please realize that every other member on the board thinks their map deserves the same attention. If your map is as fun as you say it is (and I believe you fully), then the community will embrace the map and promote it amongst themselves. You haven't done anything wrong, but I'll go ahead and warn you now: don't over promote (either in the shoutbox or by posting useless comments in this thread). Like I said, you haven't, but you're leaning in that direction. It'd really suck if a map this good got locked because of spamming. Besides, spam is like the IRS...no one really like it. =D
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! I never quite got the idea of the original. But this version is definitely an improvement. You've taken the last few honor rules and issues out of it. Good job. Yo are starting to get a big head about it. Come up with an original idea, build it, and see how good you do with that. Remaking a map, one made by the guild, and making it slightly better because they didn't have the new maps when they built it, isn't terribly special. I'm sure if it crossed his mind, Cottage would have made it, but they're probably busy on something new right now.
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! The idea was to survive as someone shot you around in a swing. Improvments are always appreciated as long as permission and or respects are given. -Donuts
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! Yes, but did/does he have permission to recreate a map? It doesn't appear so the way he is talking about it.
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! like i said before i just wanted to fix the issues with the first map and i also gave credit and a link to cottage's original one please dont flame me or anything for recreating an (awesome) map and codexx, i do have original maps
Re: The Swings Version 2!!! I believe if he gave credit it is ok, however personally I would have asked, but hey that is just me. I am happy with what he has done so I cant get angry.
