Hey man... We will talk again about the video and your participation to beta when its time, but I can already tell you that I won't need the stuff you're talking about above...
I just want to say something about the new/custom weapons and this kind of stuff you are talking about... I'm afraid, some of you will be deceptioned but I don't intend to have custom weapons in yoyorast island... It's not that I don't like it, but I just want to keep closer to a "Classic" and simple gameplay as the one you can find in bloodgulch, WartornCove, timberland, deathisland.... and I think the simple and classic weapons in these maps participate in having this kind of gamplay...

A second thing is that the complexity of the map (high poly number), (beside the fact that Excalibur is going to portal it at his best)is already a factor of potential lagging and warping thing so no need to add some more polys with custom weapons (correct me if I'm wrong on this one)...

And you know, let me tell you somthing, I find the custom and halo2 weapons impressive and esthetic but I'm not persuaded they add much to the gamplay, at least in yoyorast Island I think it would desturb from the objective you have to focus on: THE FLAG!
Well maybe it's adding somthing to the gamplay when there's plenty of them: it becomes the main interest for players... Well I simply don't want that for the map. I think there are already and will be plenty of good maps for that...

I want to thank Excalibur for not wanting absolutly (as he is fond of custom weapon) to put custom weapons in the map... (i saw your post on halomods man...) Although we may be putting one if you really want and if there is one interest in it other than a techinical demonstration. :p

I hope the custom weapon designers are not taking my thoughts as flaming cause this is not the purpose, I appreciate and respect their work ;)

That is a very nice post :D

I agree with the custom weapon deal, because so many people just say "maps are only good with new weapons/vehicles"

And this shall prove them wrong. And you are right, if there is a custom weapon, seems that most people will try to get it (even if it sucks) just because it's custom...taking away the real point of the game. And the only thing a custom weapon really does is: gives you something new to look at and possibly makes the game annoying (one hit kill guns or nukes for instance)

I really can't wait to try this map, and if it is really laggy...who the hell cares, it will rule. I would be willing to turn my graphics all the way down to play it. Very nice, and keep up the awsome work there, yoyorast.

You have my hopes, now don't go crushing them :wink:

I think Bungie did that same exact thing you guys are talking about. Taking out the uber 1337 pistol to add a sword that any noob can pick up and win a game with. Believe me, my grandma almost beat me with it.

Hi Guys!

Finally, after a huge hard work (I know every time it's the same thing :grin:...) I have just finished the last remodeling of the Island... and it's now ready to be sent to Excalibur who's going to begin the process of putting all this ingame (and this time at last it's for real)!

You'll cetainly notice a few minor changes when I'll post more renders (later)... And painfully, I'm afraid those make the map a little less esthetic and "design"... but I had to make these changes for gamplay reasons... In effect I made the all the doors and corridors in the map a bit larger than it was before and this way we'll be able to have the chiefs a little beigger and so the major problem we had about the "too much walking" is no more... In other words: you will walk less time to cross the same distance... ;)... Also I have redesigned almost entirely the beach base.

Image

This is all for now.
Good Luck and Courage Excalibur! It's up to YOU :p ;) :cool: :grin:
