i've seen a vid with a few shiny metal cratees, but i dont know what they will let us place. for the infection map im gonna make, i will most certainly be using these alot. plus i might use some mongeese to block off parts.
Holy cow! I was actually thinking about that too.. except I thought that Orbital reminded me of BioShock. I hope you were wondering that too, but you just made a typo.
i already changed it. i keep mixing the names up for some reason.... anyway, yah, especially above the doors theres a little star looking thing or osmething like that, the first thing i thought was bioshock
Yeah, that reminded me of BioShock too. I guess just the whole architecture reminds me of it.. but like you said: 'but with more light'.
Orbital: Looked uber sexy for a map to MM on, probably my favorite of all maps. I also didn't see anything that resembled a double box, so my plans of forging on it are pretty much screwed. Assembly: didn't look that interesting as a map, and didn't show any forging ability. One thing I noticed, why could you select the blue glowing thing the active camo was in?
Well, first of all, these maps aren't really for Forging on.. that's where Sandbox comes in. Second of all, there may be double boxes on Orbital.. they're just not in the default layout Lastly, that blue cylinder that houses the Active Camo is an Energy Shield... and it does look Forgeable. The theme on Assembly is cylinders, so expect much of the objects to be cylindrical.
We forge on other DLC maps besides Foundry. So why shouldn't I want to forge on Orbital? I didn't see any object that looked immovable, other than a few pieces of machinery that were the size of crates. Cylindrical energy shields do sound interesting, I wonder what all we could use them for?
I didn't say you shouldn't forge on Orbital, I just meant that it doesn't seem like a map that would be great for Forging on. But that does not mean double boxes are not in the Forge Palette. There are objects in Foundry and in other maps that are not used in the default layout. Well, that particular energy shield is just housing the Active Camo and a grav lift, but I'm sure you can make them useful in other situations and locations on the map. I guess we'll see.
I think the skull on orbital will be in a secret area in the death pit. Like the GBP skull. Or it's in the pit and you have to use a gravlift to get it out.
assembly is more open than orbital. orbital is a bunch of small enclosed hallways, assembly is at least semi-open.
Really I didn't see it. I'll have to go check the video, but were was it in the map? EDIT: I went through the video twice, and there isn't a death pit...
theres 2 different death pits ive seen on orbital. One is a tiny hole next to the entrance of a hallway, and the other is a larger one between a balcony and lower area so that when you try and jump the balcony to the lower level, you have a great chance at death. I dont recall which videos they are in, you'll just have to watch a few.
