Skyrena Download Skyrena Download Monster Trucks Gametype Description: Skyrena is an arena in the sky for my monster trucks gametype. The map starts out with 4 normal warthogs, 4 ghosts, and 4 mongooses. This map is best played with 4-12 players, for a more exciting game. As time goes on, different vehicles spawn and so does an obstacle including some killballs. My monster trucks gametype gives each player 2 lives, which adds to the fun of the monster trucks. I made it like this because i didn't like how quickly others ended with just 1 live. 2 just makes it much more fun. With this gametype you only have a plasma pistol which can stall the vehicles. You can't kill other players by shooting them though because it won't hurt them. Screenshots: As you can see in this picture, the map starts with 4 of hogs, ghosts, and mongooses. Also, notice the grass rectangle in the middle. 10 Seconds into the game, lights spawn on top of the fins. All players are probably in vehicles by now. 90 Seconds into the game, 2 Choppers spawn. Note: you will want to stay away from the grass rectangle while on the chopper, because it will make the chopper stick to it because of it's magnetic abilities. This makes the choppers not so overpowering. 120 Seconds into the game, 2 Warthog Gauss spawn in the grass rectangle. Also Man Cannons spawn on each corner of the arena which launch you into 1 of 4 killballs. Just hope someone doesnt push you into the mancannon... ...Or this will happen!
This is the 4th or 5th "arena" map now. Still nothing is different than the first. Sure, you added in a variety of vehicles but Brute Chopper will splatter nearly all of the other vehicles and people will fight over them. I guess mancannons spawning might make it more interesting but it's still just a giant square in the skybox. I'd try to put different types of traps. You know those robot fighting areas? There are things like death pits, flamethrower traps, spike traps, etc. I think the alluring, ominous thought of falling off isn't enough.
One tip which I found out on my own "monster truck" map. Don't use gauss warthogs. People can get in the gunner and will shoot you off the level with ease. Besides that I like the gametype and overall it looks pretty decent. But I do think you can do a bit more with timed events. It maybe fun to lay a shield door on the ground for example.
fix'd. Though, I really have nothing against the map, these maps were getting old a month ago. Why not be original? Perhaps, Hornets added to the mix? Overall, 3/5. Neat and merged, nicely setup, but - lacking originality.
@ everyone: Yes, i know this is like the 5,000,000th monster truck map, but i've always wanted to make one, so i did There is a bit of originality in it though, which is the center grass area. I've never seen anything that makes it so the chopper isnt so overpowering. I haven't seen any maps lately that have used magnetism. The Gauss warthogs are there because they spawn late in the game, so if the round will end faster. It may be overpowering but there's ways around getting hit by the gauss hog's gunner. Anyways, thanks everyone for the comments
No there isn't.... how can you possibly avoid the gun of an gauss hog? I would seriously think about leaving those hogs out.
What you would do is get out of your vehicle and hijack them. Anyways, since it's near the end of the round, i think it's acceptable because it will end the round before time is out.
Just to let you know, that grass bit just makes you invincible, oh yeah and the gauss could just shoot everyone into oblivion and the game wants to go as long as it can because it is fun, so this map uses new features that just make the map worse, oh yeah, and it is too square like others 2/5
Hmmm, it looks like a fun map but the arena looks very large, as if it would be too hard to push people off, unlike the original monster trucks how that platform is ridiculously small, this is farely large. Can't there be something in between? >.< lol
