hey, once somebody has the flag, and they score, cant they just walk right back to the flag and score again?

This is an interesting comment by DanTheMan on gearbox forums... I though it would be iteresting to post my aswer here too in order to better understand the way to score on this map:

you're absolutly right, once you've scored you can go back by passing through the way drawn on the piture:

I think when one will have the flag, the other players will all be focused on him and won't let him score or rescore easily and the way to score a 2nd time is not so short and easy to go without danger so.... yes it will be pretty dificult to reach the flag, yes once you have scored you'll have the oportunity to score again but not so easily. I don't see it as a problem, it should be part of the gameplay.

I would like to betatest this map. I don't think its in game yet though.

If I learn how to use hek and stuff I'll try to get it ingame. Although I am not sure.

This map will be in close competionwith Zanzibar if it is ever released.

Supreme Taco is supposed to put all this in game.... Unfortunatly I have no news from him since a week or so... I beleve he has been very occupied and all and I don't want to disturbe him at the moment with this project so, except for the modeling ameliorations that I made before my last post(with all the pictures) about one week ago... I'm sorry to say that there is no progress... sad but true. But you can have my garanty that I won't let this project down until it's done but for the moment let's wait a little bit more... in the mean time I will certainly have a little bit of spare time this week to rework/remodel some little things.

Hi guys here is a little update on the model (not yet in game), it consist of some improvement on some objects and corrections of bugs, open edges...

You can notice that I added (under the pressure of some of you guys) some edges on one part of the 2 sides of this ramp (I know you gonna say it's not enough but I want to try it in game first before considering adding more edges... In the middle of the ramp you can notice a new "stop hog" wall so theoricaly you'll be able to jump straith from the green ramp (3rd, 4th pics) and be stop by this wall that will prevent you to fall...

On top of the towers I've added a little piece of "coridor's lift" (I think there is no problem with making a lift) because I had realise that without it, nothing prevent the player that had the flag or had just scored to take the lift again to go down the tower... and have a really too short way to the other tower... so now you only can take the lift from the base of the tower to the top and once you leave it you cannot use it again to go down (you must take the way described on the pic of my last post). By the way, this corridor is made of glass so it's transparent... I think it will be pretty exciting to see a masterchief taking the lift to the flag without being able to shoot him (while he is in this corridor)

edges again...

On this pic I've removed the green ramp just to better see the reworked platform for the Tank (in blue here)... you can also see the reworked "little mountains" around this platform...

These 3pics are just for fun...

YO!

Looking better and better yoyorast, keep up the great work! I wonder if the Halo 2 team would help in this one

How long 'til it's out?

SnaFuBAR · Post by **SnaFuBAR** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 8:43 am

i'd like to see this out very soon. i think you're going to need to make a fly-around tour going thru the passageways and such to let us drool a little more!

Lookin good, and also, i cannot join your faith 2 server, it cant connect, tries 4 times and i tried to join a few times.

yoyorast · Post by **yoyorast** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 1:16 pm

Here is a copy of another interesting post on gearbox forum that made me change somthing on the map... I tought it could be interesting to post it here and show the constant evolution of the map... And I have to tell you I had news from Taco and just sent him the last files for him to work with!

Just wondering, as I havent been keeping up with this all, whats to stop the player going to and from the flags the way shown in green here? Is the hill to steep? But then, wouldnt a grenade jump allow them to get up it? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v175/ ... orast1.jpg

Thanks for this observation Super Ben..
Maybe you are right so I modified a little thing that could prevent the problem:

And if this is too easy when there too few players... let's not play and wait until there is 16 players on the sever!

YO

GUYS here is some last pics just for fun and this is maybe and hopefully the last pics out of the game

:

The next 2 pics are to show the outside, then inside (some of the numerous coridors...)

I want to play this sooooooooooo bad! This could be a map for the ages! It would be cool if Bungie put this in Halo2

that it would be but i've got a few questions.

1st: is there going to be a beta and if so then when is it planned to be released?

2nd: do you need any beta testers cause i'll help

yoyorast · Post by **yoyorast** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 2:03 pm

Ok Guys it's now time to betatest so the question is who wants to make part of it?

Good joke isn't it?

I just wanted to say to those asking for betatest here, by PM or email... men I'm sorry but, again, it's too early to ask, please just wait for the map to be in game (I beleve Taco has begun the work) and we'll see then... Thank you very much for your interest and comments...

YO

St. Louis Rams Fan · Post by **St. Louis Rams Fan** » Thu Oct 14, 2004 2:13 pm
