So, A Million thanks to Elliot for helping me out on what seemed like the easiest thing ever, I figured that since i was ready to give you guys a peek at the new Flood map I have been pulling whats left of my hair out for, here is a few screenies for you to ponder over. Keep in mind before you say anything, that if you were on a ship in deep space, and a Flood outbreak occured, would it look like this? That should do for now, any questions, comments or concerns are welcome as usual!
It is a Linear style map, with, at this point 5 holdouts to contend with. The design is inside a spaceship that you all know, or at least should know from the Halo series. mg:
My mistake, 4 holdouts, not 5. 5 is just too many. Neither one of those, and if I tell you, then it would not be a surprise, would it?
Bump: This map is near completion. I will be subitting it soon for testing to the BIOC Testing Lobbies, hope some of you will be able to join in on the fun and Floody goodness!
LOL, no, no it was not. Seeing how I am going to be putting it up for testing soon, and the fact that I want you all to find it when it is done testing, I will let the name of the map out for you right now. It is The Mona Lisa, the ship name from the Halo fiction that had a very bad outcome when it discovered the Flood from the Halo ring that John 117 destroyed in Halo CE. I recommend that anyone who has not read the story of The Mona Lisa do so, and for those of you who have, I hope that when you play my map, you will enjoy it for the rich story line that it has. It is too bad that I could not recreate the exact storyline from the original story in the map, but I got it pretty close for Forging standards.
I'm honestly very excited for this map. I hope you finish it soon. And if you need some testers, I'd very much like to join. If you can put up a map beta, that'd be great 'cause I'd love to take a look at this map personally in Forge.
I walked around in this map in Forge and I am very impressed. This is one of the most good looking Infection maps I've seen. I love how you were able to make almost everything in the map fit with the theme. The computers in the first room and the debris blocking some doors looked awesome. I especially loved the outside area with the grav volume and the "floating" debris. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to run a game here because all my friends were playing COD and I kept getting disconnected. So if you're gonna test this map, send me an invite because I'd love to play a game here. You have something real special here Shadowcat. I hope you can make this map the best it can possibly be. One more thing. At one point in the map, you have two walkway larges that look kind of out of place and a little weird, IMO. Part of them are also phasing through the windows.
I am pulling it back off of my file share to make some edits to it that may change the flow of gameplay. As soon as I get the edits done, I will repost an look for testers.
