WARNING: MASSIVE WALL OF TEXT COMING YOUR WAY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Hey there, people of forgehub, I have come up with a brand new themed map idea- Lord of the rings. Here's what I was thinking, when I was looking at cheesejam's Halo wars map," If we can make recreations of our favorite games, why not movies?" So I got the idea in my head and was wondering what movie would be suitable for recreation. Then it hit me. Why not lord of the rings? Wouldn't it be cool to be able to take part in the final battle scene? So I got to planning the gametype and map and this is what I have come up with so far: The game type will be VIP.Each team will be separated into equal groups, the bad guys and the good guys.(duh?) Then just like in Cheesejams halo wars map, someone will spawn as the Leader of the army. That is where my idea comes in. Only the bad guys will have a leader, while the good guys all start out normal with swords and one hero(main character) who has large amounts of health as well as the ability to jump higher. Each VIP has only one life so if you kill him the game is over. The bad guys all spawn in one room, with their VIP. In this room, there will be a floating teleporter that only the VIP can reach, while there is another teleporter on the ground that sends the the normal troops to the battlefield. If they try to be a ****(s) and hide in the spawn room, they will be killed via kill ball after 30-20 secs The floating teleporter will lead to a room in the giant "Sauron's" tower just under the "all seeing eye" of Sauron,(note, This will be built on one of the guardian towers on sandbox). From here on out, he can control the troops, just like that on the Halo wars game. However, seeing that the good guys are always weaker than the bad, I will give the leader a lot of ammo for his sniper as well as giving his troops really good weapons.( fuel rods, rockets, firebombs, you get the idea) A while into the game, Sauron finally takes notice of the enemies attacking and switches to offence mode, allowing the guardian tower that Sauron is at to fire at you(via special switch, I don't know yet give suggestions PLEASE!) and this means that you are no longer able to retreat. An alternative to this is that a teleporter finally opens up for Sauron, allowing him to go into "The Eye" and use a spartan laser there.(need suggestions.) Ok, now time for the good guys to get a wall of text dedicated to them. Now, you are thinking, "If all those good stuffs is for the baddies, what do the goodies get?" Well, I will tell you. When the good guys(I'll refer to them as the "GG" from now on) spawn, they will have a honer rule free decision to make. They can either a foot soldier, an elf, or a dwarf(Forgive the lame names). I will now explain these terms. A foot soldier is basically what you spawn as which is a spartan/elite with a energy sword, high damage resistance, 200-150% speed and lower damage so it takes about 2 hits to kill the enemy( also note: the enemy foot soldiers spawn the same way) The elves are the archers, they will get a limited ammo-sniper rifle, a birds eye view and finally, a small little conquest -style telebox to call their home. These people will provide cover fire for the foot soldiers and orcs, via sniper( which has ammo that respawns over time. They will get a custom power-up that modifies their damage to be able to kill the normal enemy in one shot, just like the movie where the arrows seem to be too powerful. This power up is also available to the enemy, but I will explain about that later. The GG will all spawn in a room, similar to the the one that the enemy spawns in with a similar kill ball function. In front of them, there will be 3 teleporters, each one marked out. For people who want to be dwarfs or foot soldiers, just go through the middle unmarked tele for instant battle gratification. Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that the dwarfs are just foot soldiers with Hammers, they're not really shorter. Anyway, back to the subject, for those who want to be elves however, there are only 2 teleporters, and that means only 2 elves allowed, which means that you have to choose carefully amongst yourselves beforehand. The hero, who is actually meant to play the role of Arragon, is naturally stronger than the rest. not only can he jump higher as mentioned above, he deals more damage and can kill in only one hit. However strong he may be, he is more valuable as he is the only one who can kill Sauron. Also, as the two VIP traits are similar, the hero can die as well, its just that it take multiple foot soldiers to do so. About the other 2 power ups, they are used to give Sauron his special traits that are similar to the elves. The way the movie ends is when the hero throws the ring into the lava and Sauron dies. In order to recreate this, the ring(frag grenade) is picked up by the hero(who is the only one that can pick up equipment) and thrown into the lava(hole that connects main floor to crypt). This is where it changes a bit. After you throw the grenade in, it will unblock a teleporter that allows you to go into Saurons tower, and kill him.But of course, it won't be as easy as a 1 hit kill, NOOO, you will have to duel him. Ok not really, you have a energy sword, he has a sniper and a lazer. What can he possibly do to you? Just to clarify for those smart people wondering:" Wait, if the Sauron guy knows about the ending of the match, won't he just keep the sword he started with?" Well, wrong. The VIP will start with a pistol. A plasma pistol, just for good measure as no one will have shields anyway. He will have infinite ammo and the hero will have to pick up the sword and Sauron has to pick up his sniper and custom. Or they can both not pick up those weapons and die, their choice. I praise you if you actually read all that, you probably deserve a cookie, but sorry, you don't get one. Instead, you get to leave your comments and suggestions on how to further develop this idea.Thanks for reading! BY THE WAY, I'M LOOKING FOR HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS, NOT **** LIKE, " OH KEWL! I WILL TOTALLY DL WHEN THIS COMES OUT!" PS: When I am done planning the map/gametype, I will probably get a co-forger, BUT DON'T ASK ME NOW PLEASE!
dudemake the eye of sarolamenananan idk his name lol a kill ball, then make a volcano with killballs remaining for lava, then have the VIP try to get into a goal zone by jumping into the lava/ right above it ( to make sure he doesnt get evil and keep it instead off throwing it off, lol) Have both teams spawn in back off map, seperated by a large wall/ cliff thingy then have evil leader spawn in tower and give him special ability to do something... OH dude i'll help... lol i got more iderz
this sounds really fun. i never was a big lord of the ring fan but i might just go watch now since ur thinking of coming out with this gametype/map. =)
