Wow. If this is what i'm thinking it is, you're awesome.
Testing.
EDIT: Dude! This is unplayable in Battle.Net!
It says it needs someone in team 2, and there is no team 2!

Thanks for that... I think it's good now. I forgot to reset the forces cause at first I thought about making it with 2 teams.

Crios · Oct 17, 2009

I love it

Great job can't wait for full version.

TheHunterKiller · Oct 17, 2009

Aight let's see.

Downloading was fast, and loading was pretty fast too.
You have AI, AWESOME.
Gameplay was AMAZING, DUDE, JUST AWESOME!
No, really. It was lagless too. Amazing.
The terrain was great too!

I rate this map 5/5 or 6/6 when it is finished.

Suggestions:
Guns. That will make it more awesome.
Jump/Jetpack. Hallelujah.
Items and other stuff.
More maps

But seriously, continue this, it's too awesome. Deserves rep too.

Narrat0r · Oct 17, 2009

How can a simple user be so uber?! After a perfection in Hero Arenas, "Battle of Stratholme", you create the pure pwnage amongst all the others! If I could just add you +1000000 rep...
P.S. Need a good arrow key movement system.

Vengeancekael · Oct 17, 2009

I just dont know what to say......(except AWESOME)^^

+rep

Legion_King · Oct 18, 2009

WTFFFFFF!!!!! 5/5! Never sseen such awesome thing before

+REP

EMPerror · Oct 19, 2009

well, it is pretty good. Nice gameplay, and it was pretty fun.
As all other people said, it is awesome, so no need to discuss it then

however, a few things to point out.

the camera can be annoying at times.Maybe make it more smooth.
i was confused when my mecha didnt attack, until i realised i need to manually use the attack button. Maybe say it in the description or somewhere (maybe i missed it? )
I VOTE FOR GUNS!

FrozenFenrir · Oct 25, 2009

okay ive tested it and uhm...

-please set the block skill to something else than b =O
-skills in a "spellbook" suck pretty much at this kind of game. put the passives in a spellbook and the actives like normal. also it would be good to put the skills' shortcuts to Q,W,E and R (pretty common shortcuts)

this map has a lot potential and i think this map begs to advance.
my suggestions:

-different mechas to choose from(u can choose from a few mechs at start and u can buy much stronger mechas in the later game...a bit like battleships)
-different classes of mechas (assaulter,spy,long ranged, transformer....etc) with different related items only they can use.
-bigger terrain, maybe with some units spawning from each teams side (yes, a bit aos like with teams)

Well let's see it's called patience, testing, suggestions, and a good knowledge of the World Editor.

I never tested it yet, not sure if I will, (unless you ask me to... since I'm a game critic lol.)

I ain't gonna go perfect score on you just like the others did, if I ever review it.

Ok Mr. game critic ... test it

I really don't care much for the score I just enjoy when people appreciate my work and have fun. I my self wouldn't give a 5 to my map. I know it has much more work to be done on it and needs lots of improvements and I try to patch it up as much as I can. Even better I will do a little criticism my self - The idea is original 5/5 , the terrain is good 4.5/5 , skills - 4/5 , gameplay -4/5, AI - 5/5, Music - 5/5 (well I think that is the main stuff to point out even others have mentioned no lag and etc...) over all I give it 4.5/5 to be fair, but that's in my opinion.

Now if anybody would like to thinker with this map and try to make it better please pm me and ask for the details. I would really like to make it a worthy 5/5 with your help.

Narrat0r · Oct 26, 2009

Maybe adding selecting models? Different mechs will make this look like Code Geass ;-)

Tau Empire · Oct 26, 2009

Ok finish reviewing this map and this is what I got to say about it.

Bad Points

-Only 1 kind of mech like there isn't a variety, no shooting style mech, no armored mech, no heavy hitter etc...

-Camera is a bit hard for me but luckly there is the left and right arrow. Usually when you do a third person view it helps using a keyboard instead of a mouse to move.

-Find it annoying when your can't retreat since there are 2 guys attacking you and your camera is facing them when your hit.

Neutral Points

=No modes to choose from (how many kills, a time limit etc...)

=Not enough items in the shop, since it doesn't affect gameplay it's neutral.

Good Points

+Music fits well with this type of game

+Terrain is a reasonable size, although not beautiful it's still nice.

+The abilities work well, although I wish I didn't had to press ESC key then B to block, you could add it to the abilities spells.

+The option of Auto Attack and Manual Attack is a difference between beginners and experienced players of that map.

+Didn't encounter a lag at all.

Overall Rating: 4/5

meatfactory · Oct 27, 2009

Forgot to mention I added some more music.

FrozenFenrir · Oct 27, 2009

ah nice so u realized some of my suggestions as far as i can see =)
ill try it later on

aronzei · Oct 31, 2009

Cool

Pretty good game. But I do have some things to point out...

Motion
- Difficult. Not only can't you fight someone while you are running away, it's pretty hard to maneuver your mech. I suggest using dpads for motion. (left - left turn, up - move forward, etc etc...)

Attacking.
- No questions for melee types. For ranged units, make the attack button attack the nearest (or a locked-on unit) as they press the attack button. This will make ranged units more formidable as they can move while attacking their primary targets.

Game
- More items. More levels. More significant skills (Improved movespeed skills, and more passives I guess) and more mech.

Overall
- A really great game with a lot of potential.

Great work.

Freeze87 · Nov 4, 2009

[+] Interesting and original map,AI players
[-] big map file size

I think that you need more skills,and something missing in game,add some special power ups to spawn on map,to get bonus speed or shield that cause damage to nearby enemy units or something like that.Also i think that Plasma Rifile item dont work.... :spell_breaker:

+REP

cookies4you · Nov 5, 2009

Ive Got A Very Big Suggestion!!!

Make the AI buy items after getting so much gold.

The power ups are a good idea I will work on that on a later state thanks for the suggestion :thumbs_up:

Freeze87 · Nov 5, 2009

Maybe you can add 1 special spell that damage all nearby units when is activated ,and set that can be used only 1 time in game....Also if you have some program for sound editing, try to make sound files smaller.., map is just to big. Players are very lazy in this days, they cant wait to download 6 mb on Garena..,even if someone give them link to dl from net, most of them will say "i am to lazy for that"....Trust me i now from exp. try to make map smaller :grin:

Alright overall i will give this map a 5/10

My Suggestions

#1-I suggest that you have a better arrow-key system since the one you currently have is really annoying (make it so that instead of moving a long ways by pressing it 1 time make it to where you have to hold it in).

#2-Make the music optional as in player 1 red types -music off as an exact match incase they dont want to listen to it.

#3-I didnt even see a credits section and if you have no one else to give credit to then say so.

#4-Fix the multiboard it drastlically needs to be tuned up right now its bigger than it needs to be plus it always has the same icons on it.

#5-Description that you have here can be greatly improved by using certain codes to hide/better display all the change-logs, also please add a credits section.

#6-Fix all tooltips/descriptions/interface messages (as in if lumber is unused the say so or if "quests" section has credits/controls in it then change it from "credits" to "Help" or "Info.".

#7-Change the camera since it is horribly hard to turn or see anything with your current camera system.

~Good Luck

Narrat0r · Nov 11, 2009

You should add some camera options and more different Mechs... Then I would feel like I'm playing Code Geass game ;-)

cookies4you · Nov 11, 2009

yay, he took my suggestion!(AI AND ITEMS!!!) i still like the map. also, the gunner is quite weak compared to other mechs, how about giving him a boost?

#1 The arrow key system is actually working like you say I should make it (you have to keep pressing up key to move forward)
#2 Press F10 -> Menu -> Options -> Sound (use scale music)

#3 Well there is a credits section in the "Info" tab and it's curious how you didn't see it since there are only 2 "quests" there
#4 Multiboard size is fine besides you can collapse it. Icons yes maybe I should work on that.
#5 Optional
#6 The quest section is named "info" which further increases my curiosity (how could you miss out on that).
#7 Well I added control panel to adjust camera sensitivity I still don't know why some of the people dislike the camera system. If you think you can do it' better pm me.

Replay the game

N-a-z-g-u-l · Nov 25, 2009

For the camera, theres a fix to make it move smoother:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...e-98/terrible-annoying-camera-problem-148253/
(or two fixes now)

Besides that, automatically picking up items when running over them would be fine.

And decide whether the user should use keyboard / mouse or keyboard / keyboard, because:
using the arrow keys to move, the hotkeys to select abilities and the mouse to aim is difficult.
Either use selection and order events to refer to the mouse keys while using the keyboard to move, or make the abilities instant without the need of using the mouse at all

needs more varity

meatfactory · Dec 25, 2009

Merry Chrismass to ya all

Version 1.7 is on it's way

I have been thingking to remove one or both of the soundtracks and replacing them with blizzard themes "credits" and the other one im still wondering. Some opinions would be nice.

Narrat0r · Dec 25, 2009

Don't remove the music, it's good. This map kinda reminded me of Exteel when I think better... Just, it needs more arenas, maybe jetpacks? And thinner Mechas?

I Luv Exteel! I always manage to fall off the level AND still get XP!

i dont think jetpacks are that easy. you'd need to keep clicking the up raise button then the down fall button. that or jetpacks could be keyboard controlled.

Vuormalainen · Dec 26, 2009

cant see how people like this, sorry.
and disable moving with the mouse if you can move with the keyboard..

VampireofBlood · Dec 26, 2009

i have to agree with Vuormalainen.

Well everybody has different tastes so if you don't like it thats your problem, maybe tell me why exactly you don't like it ... :con:

the idea or what cause I doubt there are any flaws in the game it ...self point out something

And the keyboard movement is optional made by request it's ment to be played with a mouse.

XPQJ · Dec 27, 2009

Camera glitched for me when I was playing during a knockback into a cliff, other then that it was a nice map, but a bit under developed--can't wait to see the map in it's full bloom. During the camera glitch the entire screen went black similar to the brief moment during spawning of the robo except for the fact that it stayed this way even after death. I would like to see:
-Terrain that effected gameplay(movement/weapon fire/damage) not everywhere but some.
-Some sort of customizing of your robot, instead of just the different types actually being able to build your robot.
-Distortion of screen or robots aiming of abilities when getting pushed through knockback, because currently you can still attack when getting knockbacked and hit your opponent which is a little weird.

My rating 3.5/5, but I know you will make it better so I give you 4.5/5

thanks for another great map.

krisserz · Dec 27, 2009

Ehh, give it a better ending. I was playin, playin, playin... and ... nothing, suddenly appeared message "The game will end in" (or smth like that) and countdown, and game over...

duke-zip · Jan 2, 2010

Pic from RF Online... must.. try.. MAP!

randomkilla · Feb 4, 2010

Even though im new i can give u +rep for making an awesome map XD

-cant i?

kazajin · Mar 29, 2010

Just played it several things I found wrong.
1. No music did not play at all during the game.
2. You've deactivated auto attack so now its having to click attack and on the enemy again gets very tedious.
3. When you choose your robot the camera defults below the rock and through it.
apart from those loved it.

jupi9999 · Jul 2, 2010

as all say its the best and its 5/5 deserves +rep

ipwnnn00bs4life · Jul 6, 2010

-Loved the map, I think that you should add some aoe abilities like a whirlwind ability for the paladin, and you could also add in grenade launchers.
-You should make it so that if a player gets 3 kills in a row or something , you get to call in a helicopter,plane, or a bomb of some sort.
