FLY AND RIDE BE! SANDTRAP ELEPHANT RIDE EDIT: THERE IS ALSO A COM TOWER THAT YOU CAN SHOOT AT> IT IS ALSO WHERE THE ZOMBIES SPAWN. DOWNLOAD LINK---> Community Map Variants : Replies This is a map I made where you fly around sandtrap. What sets this map apart from the MAMMOTH is it does not get stuck at the top of the map often. YOU CAN NOT DRIVE IT. That still does not mean this is my best mess around map that I have made. I hope you like it and ENJOY! ABOUT THE MAP This map is mostly for aesthetics, but can be played with on infection. I dont have an infection gametype but the infected characteristics are simple- make the zombies have swords, run fast, jump high, and have low health. This map is very fun to fly around in. In some cases my friends and I have flown in the air fo more than an HOUR! Also, you can get some cool crash seens as you will see from my pics. STORY (sort of) As new technology improves UNSC scientist have rigged an elephant with boosters to make it fly. You have been asigned to test run it over an abandond sand relic. Oh, and watch out for zombies! INFO When the elephant does crash you can "restart" the elephant. It may take a while to get good at but you can get it up in the air again. If you cant a mongoose will help you escape the recked ship. To "restart" it again you must clear the space where the grav lift spawns. Then try to destroy the grav lifts at around the same time. When the mechanism spawns again you should be thrust into the sky again. =) PICS!!!!! First off, this is what it looks like when you take off. [/URL] This is the mechanism. The weapon drop pods are pushed up by the grav lifts. Thus pushing the elephant up with them. [/URL] When you are in the air the armory is the best place to be. The view is great and you get a **** load of weapons. [/URL] To protect the armory, deploy the shields! (I wont tell you were they are so you will have to find out) [/URL] This is were the mongoose spawns. To "unlock" it puch the crates out of the ship. If you are in the air they should pop up out of the ship and drop to the ground below. If you are on the ground just push them away. [/URL] When you get out this is what it looks like. =)* [/URL] From the ground you can see how high this thing gets up. [/URL] "This is your captain speeking. We are about to land please bunckle your setbelts." THE MAKER/DESIGNER [/URL] These are some of the cool screens you can get when you crash. (Its really fun when you crash. BTW when you hit the ground dont flip the elephant if you are not in infection. You get an awesome crash site!) [/URL] [/URL] "THIS IS SPARTA!" [/URL] BLOWN ENGINE! That will leave a mark! (My friend acually shot the grav lift throu the ship and it crashed!) [/URL] DOWNLOAD LINK----> Community Map Variants : Replies Thanks For Downloading (if you did)
Please do not re-post your map... I don't know if this is double-posting or necro-posting but I'm almost positive this is against the rules. The old post is here for those who wish to see it
I have seen maps posted that have been posted before. My understanding is after 3 weeks you may post it again. The rules stated that.
like yours is you offer no feedback to the maker at all your post is spam aswell now about the map this would be an unfair game because one side will be in the elephant and wont take damage from the people below becasue they wont be able to shoot them until it crashes which then they still have an easy area to defend and could use the elephant as a splatter weapon this idea has been done severl times before as well did you add any other weapons and if so where these could effect gameplay to
Seriously, did you acually read the post! In my post I SPECIFICLY said it was for fun and infection. NO WHERE did I say it was competitive
I saw the first post. This isn't double posting?(just a question?) any way on to the map. before you said there was a zombie something that you did not show. Why did you not show it now? An aesthetic is a map that you look at or screw around on. This is zombies so it should technicaly be in the CASUAL section of the list. By the way at the top you have a quote from your friend you should probably get rid of it.(considering it is from your last post)
That's a pretty good setup you have there. Very cool thing to realize and implement. Have you considered giving the infected regular weapons, hornets and banshees? It seems a logical fit. 4/5 for originality, but no chops to back up the gimmick.
this isint origanal i remember the map with the hornet and you controld it this is called mamoth this is the same thing on the other side but with no hornet but theres nothing else on the map i can see i guess its just for zombies with banshes (like the other one) ok map need a gametype descripshon 3/5 sorry for spelling
Ya but the mammoth would get stuck at the top of the map way to often. I wanted to make a map were you dont get stuck at the top. This map couldnt be made flyable because of the mechanism. It keeps the elephant going strait and keeps it up a long time.
Im sorry but this is a map that ive seen many times before, I have only every seen one version of a flying elephant map that i liked and that was the mamoth. This im afraid looks to simple aswell for any gametype, and even as a fun map it would get boring quickely as there is nothing really to do on the map once you have seen the elephant fly. The post is fairly good however, it tells you lot about the map and is something i love seening even if the map quality isnt great. So i would in future try expanding on your map dont just have one thing the map with a few weapons. I know this is mainly aesthetic so i will not lecture you on proper weapon placment and cover. So from what i can see for this map heres its score. Originality 1/5 Gamplay 1/5 creativness 1/5 Aesthetics 1/5 Post quality 3/5 Overall 2/5
I will quote directly from the Rules section: You are only reviving the same idea. Just think what would happen if everybody reposted their maps! The forums would be uncontrollably flooded with maps some from years ago! How would people tell apart old maps from new maps? This is considered spam also. You can't just go around reposting the same thread. You can't make duplicates of the same map. Go ahead and make a new version which will add on to the quality of the map, but NEVER repost a thread. As long as you're here at ForgeHub you'd better follow the Rules bud.
