The spawns. Also, when you play with pure pros in MLG every day, sometimes smaller maps like this kill you when the other team is set up on every position and grenades you when you spawn . I don't really like the slayer game play but I think the CTF version looks pretty nice. I'll check it out fritz and get back to you on what I think of it.
That sounds a bit simple, especially with someone with your level of forging skill... [/totallynotsuckinguplol] Fair enough. I don't think I ever saw the Amplified V1, so I can't comment on the coal to diamond, but I would imagine it (from what I know of Onslaught) to be quite a transformation. Which was my point, but the reasoning seems solid. Never be sorry, it's always interesting to read... Lol, sounds like fun... I'm totally looking forward to working through nights with no sleep on my MLG map... at least I have a preview of what to come... lol
lol sweet, hey ya know I'm going to put up a 7 month old version of amplified in my fileshare just for chits and kicks I've held this off for far too long. Well here's what I can show you of my... forge work, I guess. Keep your pants on I'm not ready for release. I first have to demonstrate my asymmetrical design on it for others to use my template. =) Here's an overview of my foundry template from the software I've been working on and plan to release: Preview it UP! lol edit: I almost forgot, this tool I created should help speed up the designing of concepts considerably to make good maps. So people can make concepts real fast and post for others to see and demonstrate. Giving the reason to continue and conserve the longevity of halo 3's forge. Hopefully when released most forgers take advantage of and complete and thread Beastly Maps.
wow... just wow... Can't wait for that, want now... that's sketch-up right? and is that map your next project? or just something you threw together as a preview?
I just threw it together in like 10 minutes. For the past weeks of working on this today I could finally try out the template in full and I finally made rough concepts with. Asymmetrical map picture coming later today.
Wow, that's an impressive re-creation of Foundry. I almost sh#t myself when I saw it. I do have one question though, are all immovable items available? (including walls, doublewalls and signs)
I remember V1, it definatly has been coal to diamond. When I first saw it I wasn't really impressed. It was good, don't get me wrong. But it was lacking a few things. Then one day I heard that MLG had new settings, so I went and looked and I saw Amp V5. When I downloaded it, it had changed quite a bit and it definatly deserves being on the circuit. As for the CTF beta, I have yet to play it. So I'll be testing it shortly. Wait... is that sketch up?? Can you give me a download link for that foundry set up. I got one and it was terrible.
Amp was my first MLG match. And I'm not sure what version exactly--probably v4-- but, I was stunned with the aesthetics, the geo-merging (Mostly because I didn't know you could do that at the time) and the creative interlocking. The sketch-up version of foundry sounds like the map creator everyone wants for Christmas. lol
This map is freakin sweet! Itz awsome how it made it to real MLG! The CTF version should be 2! This is 1 off my fav. MLG maps. Play it almost dayly LOL!
*Drools* I really want that version of sketchup. Hopefully, you can ajust it so you can geomerge into the ground.
Yo man i love amp it is so much better than ons this map i never get spawn killed unlike ons i think this map is good has lots of geomerging i luv the first floor of the purple tower just so amazing its a beutiful map too
I can't DL the gametype for Amp CTF... Bungie has it moved/banned... It makes me sadface I got the map though I guess I'll resort to the Onslaught CTF for testing
The new version looks a little empty for some reason, still imaculate geoglitching though! Specially on the sides of the first picture of the updated version where the walls or geoglitched on an angle. That is impressive good sir! Amplified is one of my favorate maps ever. Its just so beautiful and fun to play on. I can see why it got into matchmaking lol I love the mix of beautiful interlocking and geoglitching with very good gameplay. I love playing this map in the MLG playlist and sometimes I veto everything just to get this map!
The regular Amp is fantastic, the interlocking, geomerging, the aesthetics, and of course the gameplay. The Amp CTF Beta plays well, but i don't think it will ever be played at any kind of event. The tilted double walls in the ground are sweet. This is one of the best foundry maps to date!
MLG Amplified is in its prime for the 2008 season and pretty darn happy - if I were to see what I've done back in February I'd have to pinch myself for the realization. CTF variation has been left at the beta for one main reason, and that was creating many different forge foundry designs. I'm going to post some things on my current forge projects including regicide, here's a link to a video I made on Regicide map for those who care Regicide Map Preview Video - Halo 3 Game - MLG Game Room I really appreciate your comment Monster, thank you.
Hey Ivory =) Other things would need to happen before releasing such quality user-created free software. A fully organized forge-contest with beefy prizes to help kick off and promote a community based website/forum will help as an initial release as acquiring money is out of the question by now. And is moving along at a nice steady slow pace, which I wish were drastically faster.
