The New CMP map!

Post by Wiseass »

The map is a multiplayer map, with one end as a humans city/base, the middle as a deep jungle, and the other end is the cannon side, where a covie ship has crashed. The 2 bases are the humans base, and the covie ship. The map is very large, and on the north, east, and west are all cannons, on the south, the human base lies on the sandy beaches, near the ocean. What me and the others were working on was a way to make it so that the map would have a day/night effect. Where the sun would rise and set. Thus, you would have day and night. We also wanted to place a little fog in the jungle, giving it a mysterious, freaky atmosphere. (imagine it in the night) The covie ship is floating up in the air, but the back, and front end is teared open, so one way to get in is through aerial, and the other, is driving through the cave below the ship, and going all the way to the top, where the cave ends, and were you make a big jump (350ft+ above ground) into the nose of the ship. The Jungle contains several small roads, one of them, contains the biggest hill in the map, gradually going up 100 ft, and sending you flying mid air, and landing on the path again. Other parts will still have hills, making races really fun, and tricks even cooler. The rest of the jungle is mostly trees, and it does contain several crashed covie drop ships, and pelicans, where special new powerful guns can be found. In the jungle, certain trees will contain tree houses, and bridges linking to other trees (all wooden and old looking) making it perfect for securing certain areas. There are 2 forerunner buildings, both containing 1 portal leading to the sniper spots, and where the 5th and 6th most powerful guns lie. There will be many Easter eggs in this map, and one, gives you the most powerful gun that will be made for this map. The jungle will be one of the most important areas to secure. The human base is surrounded by walls, even on the beaches. It is the most fortified part of the map. The gate is the only way in the human city/base. It can be destroyed, but will take many, many, many hits in doing so. There will be gunners planed all over the walls, and some on top of buildings. However, the base has one major flaw. It was build on an old forerunner structure. So there will be portals that will be placed all over the base, thus, the city can be very easily breached, and with all its gunners and defenses, you could easily you it to your advantage.
Note: anything could change form now till the map is done, but that is what we have worked on so far. We are recruiting people to our team, this is now a black knights map, and it is a community map, that means that anyone is free to suggest/help/give stuff to this map, and you will be added to the list of contributors. Anyone who would like to help, please post below.
another little part that i added later:
Woods:
i wanted it to look buentiful, pretty, magnifisent, and lovely.


:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:



but when you walk into it, you are in a living hell, they say buety is only skin deep. when you first walk in from the human side, you will see lots of fog. in certin areas, there will be some fog, and in others, so much so you can only see 10 deet in front of you. in the thickest parts, you will notice limbs, of covies and humans, blood all over, some, not even covie or human. the deeper you go in the jungle, the more bodies and blood you will see, in the deepest part, limbs and parts will be dangaling from trees, and ropes. it will look liek a buture house. scare crows (with human/covie heads on them) will warn you to go. if you press on, and follow the signs that the canibale humans wrote not to go to, you will see a large cave, hidden inside is a great weapon, (the 2nd best in the game) but, what lurcks in the cave is zombies. they look worse then the flood.
(how this will be done is we will make the zombies as projectiles, and have something shoot them, so they will bounce off anything exept you, and if they get near you, they will folow. we will have there lfe live only for a short whle, enough to chase you far away from the cave. it will be a one hit kill. that should reduse the lag, and give you that scary feeling.)
in the jungle there are some places where someone made a treehouse, and if you follow the wooden bridge, it will link to others, an alot of them, there will be signs saying there coming! run while you have the chance!
so thats the jungle, on the outside, it looks pretty, on the inside, it looks scary. oh, did i mention that there will be crash landings were you can pick up loot, and see torn bodies? it will look freacky
the ship: (note: this contains the histroy of the map to)
well, a lot of people thought it out on our old forum, so here is what we came up with (note this is up to master cheif to deside the final cut, and he will take in your sugestions)
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders ... ackend.JPG
this, is the back end of the ship, it was blasted away form constant attacks near the rear. in the end, the humans hit its back engine, causeing it to explode, leaving a easy way in, wich the human ships took advantage of and shot in to do some internal damage.
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders ... 0/Side.JPG
of course, the covies were going to get on the land to, so they opened up 2 of there 3 plasma doors, and thus, thw small fighter ships could aim in and cause masive internal damage, so much so that they....
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders ... idesde.JPG
http://upl.silentwhisper.net/uplfolders ... /Front.JPG
blasted a hole right through the middle side of the ship, making it so you could go through the other side of the ship. (it will look all scared up in the inside. as the covie ship headed towards the small enclosed island, they passed over the heavily defended human mase. there, there front end was blasted, and 2 large holes on either end were made. then, in the atments to stop the ship, the stealth bombers headed to the tip of the ship, and bombed it on the top, causeing a hunde hole on the top. soon ships were flyign right through the ship, despertly trying to take on the coives, who some how maintained controll over this beaten vessel. the covies then started turning the tide, but knowing if they stayed in range of the human base they were going to be destroyed, they fled off to the cannon side, there they stood there ground. the only sound was the lurcky sound of the jungle. any covie/humans who crashed in the jungle were never heard from again. some say, that there was a covie and human battle in the jungle, but the humans wernt fighting cause of the war. They were fighting for meat. covie meat. some how, the covies were wiped out, yet the humans in the forest lived, from then on contact with any of them or our men going in there was futile. Some say they saw horibel signs of mens parts everywhere. some think they became canibables. no one knows. No one dares now enter the foggy jungle, in fear of what everdid all this, will come after them. So, the humans build a wall, portecting there base form any chance of the out siders. When people ask what was out there, the leaders reply: "that is classifed infomation."


anyways, that is what i came up with. i need your help guys, i cant pull this off all on my own. this is the kind of people i need for this map (and i want to top off the great new mombasitor)
1) Mapmakers
2) Animators (for the ainmations for the guns, etc
3) C+++ people
4) Skiners
5) Modelers
6) beta testers. (later)

sorry for the spelling, i am in a rush, but if any of you people could help me out, it would be so nice.

o one more thing i almost forgot:
