I thought you released this awhile ago. You must have been working on this forever then. Anyway now that I know what to do the map is quite fun and interesting. The gameplay is great and the zombies should work as a team to win. Without teamwork, The zombies will most likely fail. Anyway keep up the work. Hope to see a cool new version of this soon.
yay! its like posted nao... great post, and the backstory is magnificent. this is an old map, and happy to of seen it grow up from a wee one all the way to what it is now! good job insane, and keep on working on these maps of yours. BTW, did you get the forerunner structure working again? i remember back when we were working on it, the map kept deleting itself. lol.
This should be in it's own section, dude. Call it Maxi-game if you will, because "mini" doesn't even apply here. I always had a great time playing and testing this, and I'll give this my seal of approval for all those that are hesitant to download. Do it now and have a blast, people. And I promise not to be hurt for not including me in the ridiculously long "special thanks" list. *sniff*
agh. I had you in the back of my mind, but I totally forgot, along with a whole lotta people. If you've helped alot, post. I moghtve forgotten you. Will add a few of u in it class
I have seen this map grow and become something addicting over time. I spent many long hours giving you an audience to sing to while you were working... speaking of that, I will send you the medical bill for the internal bleeding in my head and my hearing aids... now with that aside, this map isnt really a mini-game. It is more of a awsomesauce game. You really did create something that really hasn't been seen before. Although it needs more interlocking!!!!11!!! Good job insane.
This map is very creative, Especially for VIP, 4.8/5, Sorry but no download from me, I now, Well into VIP that much, But this is still an amazing map with great interlocking and Geo-Merging. I like it, The gameplay would probably be fun. I love the little house thing in the centre cave, Very creative.
just a quick question. Why would you say its a great map and all when you havent even downloaded it and have no plan too? That is kind of insulting.
This has to be the most fun Halo 3 gametype/map variation I've ever played so far. You have extensively tweaked and tested this map, loving it like your own child, wanting it to be perfect in every aspect. And it has good interlocking! ;P Gameplay: (5/5) This encourages teamwork among the VIP team, and careful footwork from the Cave Freaks. People have seen these kinds of zombies before, and this kind of VIP escort, but never together. It is challenging without being too hard on players. It truly is original. I hear that you;ve been playing it on default bungie maps, I must try that. Map: (5/5) Good interlocking, lol. An original layout and very thoughtful weapon placement. I know you've worked hard to make sure every aspect is perfect, as I've seen many changes about it. It works in perfect harmony to the gametype. Aesthetics: (5/5) Nothing much to say, good interlocking. OVERALL 5/5. This map has earned a permanent spot on my hard drive. Now a little quote from my friend in real life who played this with us once. He is an MLG gamer who goes with the constant philosophy of "Halo 3 is broken, Bungie got lucky with 1 and 2, nothing was really original." In a way, you have to agree with him sometimes. (But I love ya Bungie.) What he said about this map, semi-paraphrased: So, from him, he liked it.
Finally insane you released it, first off i lost count of how many play testing games i was in when you were testing this for so long. I love the unquie gameplay. I love being and attacker and trying to make my way to and through the cave. The outside is very nice with nice geomerging and that beautiful vahalla like tower. Also the hornet exploding in the beginning is a nice touch plus the drop down spawns. The cave area is laid out very well with you jumping down and walking on ramps to get to the hornet. Insane, and shock you have created an amazing unquie vip gametype and map. This screams feature. Battlefield nao!
This looks amazing i actually think its worth paying for the legendry map pack just for this, from the comments people have posted and your detailed post. I love the interlocking and the gameplay sounds and looks flawless, i will rate when i download.
I've been playing this game for months now and ive always loved it. Insane has taken a large amount of time to perfect the map its a large change to halo without changing the idea of kill the badguy. The pathway inside the cave can be... intimidating at time but with proper teamwork and a good VIP you can make it to the hornet and escape. I so far have only gotten to the hornet one. I would consider this game for advanced players because the first few play through u will either die and get caught outside at night... and thats death right there. But anyway a fantastic map and one of my new classic. success
You actually posted this... and didn't tell me? Oh... that's cold. LOL j/k <3. Anyway, on to Cave Freaks. What is there to say about this minigame? Hm, well, only that ITS MY FAVORITE MINI-GAME OF ALL TIMES!!! Really, you out did yourself with this one. It's got the whole sense of fear creeping all over the place, and you actually have to take this mini-game serious to actually be good at it. In simple, it's a competitive mini-game. Ok, now on to what I think... First of all, the VIP race idea was a brilliant idea for a mini-game. Having a team cover their VIP from attack and to get to a point before their death was awesome. With all the adjustments you did it makes it feel more real like. Which is good. Because it suits the game. I'm sure if you could change them, you'd change the swords the Cave Freaks have to actual blunt objects (because last time I check, stabbing someone with a sword with an added lung kills someone lol). Oh, and as for people respawning, well, as for the cave people, it can be played off as it's just another one coming to stop them. As for the humans? Well, you can't say really the same thing. But we can't have it perfect... So it's ok. As for actual game play... I think you pulled it of really well. With Cave Freaks you ACTUALLY have to work together to do good. (Unless you are REALLY luckily) -It has that whole MLG touch to it, in as it's a good idea to call out and always keep a look out for the cave freaks. It spices things up a lot. I must say that I'm glad you didn't add the zombie version to this, because I didn't really like it (even if you took my idea to have the humans spawn in the small fort inside the cave). So yeah... In the end people should download this because it's the most epic mini-game ATM. It also got me thinking of a mini-game (which you know of) that has the whole serious play feel to it. It's just too bad I'm lazy with it and have not done much with it. xD So liek a spam person would say: Great map! 5/5!!1! xD (But we both know it's actually an epic map and is 10/5).
Insane, I have to say it was a pleasure testing this bad boy out with you. Even though I played it in its more early stages. It was still one of the most intense games Ive played yet. Things like the Hornet crashing behind at the start show you wanted to give the map every bit of work as you could. The forerunner structure shooting power cores and defenders was one of the innovative ideas Ive seen. It scared the **** out of me having ninjas raining down on me. The entire game plays smoothly as well. The action just flows ever so perfectly. The spawning works amazingly as well. Stringing together ambushes with ease. The only problem I had during my testing sessions was spawning and being shot up in the air from the forerunner structure. Which was the first place to get shot. And now, I see you have fixed that. Which leaves nothing left to complain about. I will surely try to get alot of games in with my friends on it. It has a very high replay value, because well, its the one of the best games ever. Amazing job, and I am hoping for this to get a feature. ~inevitable~ P.S. This is FRESH PLASMA
Yes yes yes yes!! i would have to say that this is probably the most epically long post ever in man kind history. I had a lot of fun testing this map with you and being able to play the games for the pics (i'm in half of them =)). I love the idea of making an infection game without using the infection gametype, but using vip instead! This game 100% gives me a gamegasm! This game definitely beats any other mini-game maps, and the story was great. You could probably write a book about it!
wow it looks like you put a lot of time into this map and this post. the map looks interesting and unique. i think gameplay will get pretty crazy which should make for hours of fun. i am definitely downloading this one.
O.k. I think it's been loon enough Where is the feature? So what if it just been released yesterday... lol. I can't wait till this is featured then we can play it in TGIF. This map truely provides hours of fun and testing when it was in the testing stages, whats even better is that this map is always different playing it.
