CROWNING GLORY 2.0 (race rules) This is the best race map i've made. it has gone under a lot of changes since version one. i've updated the gametype, the shield jumps, the hidden items, the cheating barriers (heavily tested) ,the start line, the finish line, mancannon jump+boost,corners, description, name and quality of the map as a whole it has been remade so many times it barely resembles its predecessor, but still maintains the fast "all or nothing" feel to it i have even incorporated rats nests geometry into it, sloping down for speed, up to bring your mongoose back under control. now i'm going to give you a guide through my map, from start to finish. well, this is the starting line, not much to say, get a car and go. the track slopes down so you have enough speed to make the shield jump turn the corner tight, and take the mancannon jump, or take it wide and go through the boxes. turn another corner and you're given enough space to aim the mongoose in the right direction to get the speed boost without setting off the fusion coils through the roadblocks and sprint finish with a shield jump! in between, there are a few things i haven't mentioned, like shield doors to stop you ramming into the walls, teleporters to kill cheaters or take the carless back and, the *secret items* <<the hidden items. (some easier to find than others) the gametype for this makes you slightly slower and heavier. you start off with a plasma pistol, but there are a few weapons scattered throughout the map. if you want to get to any of the hidden items, you will have to sacrifice valuble time and its really quicker to just not bother with them. download links: THE MAP Crowning Glory THE GAMETYPE Race Rules private message me with a link to a pic if you find any hidden footballs (i've actually lost one ) doesn't count if you find it on theatre or forge
Finish line is cheatable by jumping up to the pipes and walking down it. Other than that it looks fun but lots of explosions.
mancannons stop you. grav lifts stop you. gravity stops you. trust me, i bug tested my finish line for half an hour. the only way to get up is the teammate jump with 4 people there are actually not that many explosions, unless you crash into the fusion coils or go completely the wrong way at the finish line. if you are going to say something big like that, download the map+gametype first.
yeah it was originally my first race map project, i made the first version just after i discovered the shield jump. happy days
Dude that finish line is epic win. It looks like you are finishing into an arc or something. I also love the angle of the man cannons, looks like a spiral. The fusion coils would be okay, but seem like they would get annoying after a while. The shield door jump is awesome, i love how it bounces you up first, then changes your direction to forward. One thing though, it you miss the shield door jump outside, aren't you pretty much screwed?
Looks good, but as you said before, the pipe looks cheatable, and you said it isn't. I believe you, but just to make sure, you do know that there's a ledge you can just easily walk up to and jump on the pipe, right? Other than that inquiry, I love the jumps. It looks pretty crazy =)
barbie, i find it hard to hit the fusion coils by accident, there really is no chance of it. if you go tho the left of the last shiels you can get round it the angle of the camera make the mancannons look like a spiral, its not really liike that.. norbert, thanks for the tipoff i'll check that out
wow, thank you a lot, i didn't know about that.it turns out you can get over it, but only if you jump off a mongoose. fixed it. stuck a bridge and killing teleport over it everyone who has already dl-ed may need to do it again to get the bug fix
Alright no problem, it's near the sniper. Look for a little diagonal pipe that leads you up to the top. There's one on each side on the other sides of the doorway leading to the sniper/ generator. If you need anything else, just ask (can't help in forge, though, my xbox is broken). BTW, try not to double post. It makes people very angry.
