ok good stuff.. again grav lifts arent really used but, itll be nice to see what it turns out like. The sooner we get the map "finished" the sooner the testing stage begins.. Also.. im mailing you another project we could possibly do.
Yeah grav lifts are probally a no-no & if you read you would have seen I said about the gold column but newho, thats correct as soon as the map is presentable we will start testing. I think we will probally get the MLG players testing the map, suggesting things that could be removed or added, things that need fixing, such as flow etc.. Then once that stage is complete we will go into complete testing, we will get probally 2 games set-up, MLG players and average to better than normal players.
Aye, well I'll definately be game for the testing. I didnt really understand what you meant about the gold column before so i didnt mention it xD but yeah.. its good to see your still managing to squeeze things in with your exams still going on too.
I have a maths exam tommorrow and iv'e just been revising but the exam is pretty easy, I got a B in it last time due to the lack of preperation I did, but I know vaguely what is on the exam and iv'e gone over that and im confident I will get an A or higher BTW, when will you next be online? I will show you quickly the progress in person, I dont think youve seen it in a while. BTW I think I will get some progress done tommorrow night after my exam, because I dont have anymore exams till after the weekend. **** I need to revise Chemistry O.O LOL
Yeah, I'm also worried about S4, it may be just too powerful. The whole point of S3 in Guardian for example is to be a powerful place to slay, but also easy to die. This S4 seems to have a slaying power better than S3 and its even easier to stay alive.
Remember to invite me for testing. Also, adding to the thing with s4, it could arguably make the bases too large and awkward for MLG. Something like that s4 is incentive to sit in your base and snipe; a huge no-no for MLG.
Interesting points, although it could be overpowering, it could also be made difficult to get too, or slanted towards the centre so there is much less cover. Either way, testing will determine whether its a gogo or a nono
Yeah thanks for your input guys but all you can do is speculate untill you test, if it doesnt work then I will most likely do what steve said and slant s4 to make it easier to kill people in cover up there, if that doesnt work. s4 will be scrapped & inaccessable.
I think Dragull has made a great point. Simply put, it would adding an area that does not work well in actual gameplay. If you lessen the lines of sight or make it more dangerous, it may make the area into a smooth addition, but my question is more directly related to the necessity of the area all together. Is a fourth level needed? Having an s4 would make s3 useless or vice versa. As Dragull mentioned, s3 is a powerful place to slay. Unlike s3, s2 contains ample cover with not height advantage. S2 and s3 have sight lines to similar areas. However, s2 has a great lines of sight to elbow and s1. S1 is needed to watch bottom mid and gold. This why players alternate between the 3. Adding s4 effectively cuts the uselessness of s3 in half. The same could be done to s2, depending on how you go about s4. 4 levels would cause more confusion and less coherency. In my opinion, 3 levels for MLG would would be best. After all, it works for Guardian, Blackout, and Lockout. If you would still want to give the bases that extra edge, I would expound upon s3.
Or expand upon S1/S2 making it so there is more than just the one main stream way of entering and exiting the base. Since i am working on a map similar to this i thought about it alot. S3 i would leave virtually the same, there isn't much you can do to better it. But looking at Ascension bottom and mid part of big tower i came to a conclusion that revamping s1 s2 for a guardian style map would not only enhance the game play but add a twist that your Guardian Blackout Lockout don't have. Now i know its late in the project and it would probably screw more stuff up then it would help but it's just a suggestion.
Okay I see that you guys dont like s4 & most of you advised me not to build it so im going to make it inacessable. Thanks for your input guys.
Now, here is a good example of what do not work. Blackout Br3. It's higher than S3, bigger, have plenty of cover. You can put your entire team up there and dominate the game just by doing that.
I agree with that point and aknowlage that this is not what people want so the area will be inaccessable. Thanks ;p
wow i had this idea like a month or 2 ago but never got around to it. i was or still am gonna use a few different part than you though but best of luck it looks good so far.
Cool, and thanks I wish you the best of luck as well & Can I ask what other parts are you going to be adding? I really wanted to use gold but OLN is thin atm and so is budget, I may have to strip some aesthetics to finnish the map.
Seriously, do I need to bump this every week? xD No, really, how is the map going? Any new pictures to upload?
aye just wondering has this project died.. i havnt seen you online in 2 weeks and ive just got back from shitty wales. keep us filled in man
I was hoping to update the thread today with some screenies and progress, unfortunatley, I shouldnt have watched casino royale on my xbox last night on with the xbox stacked on 2 dvd cases to keep it off the ground. You can kinda geuss where im going here -.- ;/ Yeah it wont be another 2-3 weeks untill I update with progress most likely im afraid, ive rrod, I may be able to get some progress done because I can still play sometimes, its just overheated, hopefully my motherboard will bend back into place and I wont have to send it off but that is most unlikely not going to happen. I will get it sent off if I cant play it today. Hopefully tommorrow I will be able to get it sent off if it dont work tonight. So for 2 weeks ill be playing GMOD WOOP ;P Ill let you know the progress of whats happening with my xbox. KTHXBAI EDIT: Iv'e updated thread with 2 more images of progress and just to let you know, my xbox is living. MAUAU ;p Edit 2: **** I thought forgehub had automatic merging of posts when you quick replied and you were last to post. Crap, sorry mod, Please merge posts.
