Combat Zone 3.6
by Bob666

Concept: 5/5
Excellant idea. rather orginal, and its obvious it took alot of work and ALOT of scripting. SUCCESSFUL streaming wc3 into fps gameplay is something i have not seen done.

Gameplay: 3/5
While flying around in jets, gravity gunning crowds of people, and messing with the gravity setting is loads of fun,
I find that most people will agree that while its a fun game to mess around in, there is something to be desired for in terms of the actual gameplay. The area seems to large, and there are never really any good fights. its ussually comes down to one side getting one of the best vehicules and camping the other sides base. There arent any clear cut objectives except to run around and shoot eachother. I think the gameplay could benefit if both sides had some sort of base that they could add to with addon nodes, and if there was some kind of vehicule upgrading/construction element. Perhaps if players had to to do something to unlock the more powerful vehicules. A close quarters version of a map like this would also be alot of fun.


Level Design: 3/5
The areas not gorgegous, but its fun to mess around in. I have to say though, i was a little confused when my hammerhead tank which can withstand heavy enemy missle fire, exploded when in ran into a street lamp.


Sound/Custom Models: 4/5
There were alot of custom models, they did not seem out of place and they were a vital addition to the game that improved its fun factor.

Replayability: 3/5
While good for a few go throughs, and messing around with gravity can be fun for a game or two, i wouldnt say it has a high replay factor. Once you've tried out all of the vehicules, the aforementioned gameplay flaws tend to cause furthur games to be rather dull.


Balance & Bugs: 3/5
For some reason after awhile of playing in every game, a server split occurs. i dont know why this is but it could definatly use some looking in to. Balance could use some work. Many vehicules were not used at all, because they simply cannot go up against a couple of the more powerful ones. I found that the hammerhead could just blast away at enemies for hours, and decimate aircraft with its gravity gun, without ever reaching half health.
Additionally their needs to be a time to change settings at start of game and thats it. or at least a vote required. Its very easy for the host to abuse his powers by turning gravity to 5 while enemy aircraft come in for a bombing run, and then resetting it after his enemies are pummeled into the ground.
Additionally lag tends to be an annoying problem, but i understand this cannot always be helped.

Final Score: 3.5/5
While definatly worth downloading and playing a few games, its unlikely to become one of your favorite games. I admire the amount of work that went into this, and honestly, its a pretty amazing piece of work. But there are a few flaws in its actual implementation that prevent it from getting a higher score. If you could improve some of the gameplay elements and do what you can to keep lag to a minimum, you just may have a real masterpiece on your hands

My suggestsions are to change that with the trees if you crash into a tree you get OWNED with airplanes atleast. I would change that you get dameged but the trees should break some ships on the water and other stuff would be cool too but its just me...
other than that I LOVE THIS MAP!!!

PS:as i was playing with Bots can you please change the missle thing? I never notice it when its by the Foodbar and got killed

 

[LostFlip]

This is pwnage.
If you dont have it yet. get it now. yes now.

 

[Super-Sheep]

"Jumpers" make everyone to disconnect whenever player enters on it, but doesnt kick disc host. This also happens only sometimes. Like 1:10 chance to disc everyone when you enter on a jumper.

 

[yakonshus]

I have played this map many times with my friends, and i have never seen a map like it. Its so well made and almost perfect! (no maps are perfect, so almost perfect is the best a map can get) 6/5!

 

[DeathsBrother]

Physics, in Warcraft!? BURN THIS WITCH!

Also, love your Supreme Commander games.

 

[Assassine]

Really great map, been playing this a lot since i found it 2 days ago.
Just one thing: Some Players turn the flags to the enemy color instead of their own, making a total mess at the tickets. I think this is because you changed the order of the colors in the teams. I put it in the standard order and it seems to work now. I dont know anything about mapping or scripting, it was just switching some colors and there starting positions to other teams.
If you know what i mean (my english isnt that good, soory) just change it
If not i can send you the changed file so you see what i did^^
Edit: It seems somewhere in youre scripting, you just have another Team order then the one you set in team/ally-options. Capturing flags works fine now, but if the guys that put flags to the wrong color before get killed, the wrong team loses a ticket now. As i dont know anything about scripting, i would be very happy if you can fix this so the ticket stuff gets working ^^

 

[BLKRDR]

I love this map, although it is a bit laggy. Maybe you should consider adding more planes, maybe the SR71 or MiG 35, I'd love to see those in-game. 5/5

For the arrow keys you could change it to abilitys with WASD and when you use the ability it does the same thing as the arrow keys just it should detect it faster.

The only problem is the fact that A and S are already asigned. A is a hotkey for Attack while S is an hotkey for Stop. This pretty much means those hotkeys aren't really an option and I doubt we would actually end up implementing a keyboard movement system.

in Addition, W is already used for the repairing skill.

 

[thedeathunterxx]

actually That can be changed, the A and the S. If you have New Jen 1.5, you can change those letters to different letters.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

A version of this game made with RtC mouse movement and networking would be legit.

Imagine combat zone with better controls, less lag, and more players.

 

[NatureArt]

This game is nice, if can put to select some modes such as, Tank vs Tank, Soldiers vs Soldiers can pick some gun to use that's great

 

[biffzs]

very cool map 5/5

 

[hookah]

2 mayor bug:

1., jumpers cause desync or dc.

2., exiting a vechile while the vechile dies cause no respawn death.


2 small bug:

1., u can teleport out of the map with the teleport capable vechile. (dont know its name)

2., u can spam nukes with nuke capable tank by exiting and entering the vechile.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

imo just remove those jumpers, and I know you'll be able to figure out those other 2 bugs.

 

[koler]

wow extreme does it really go to make a map like this?
at it inst that hard to make velhicles the hard is spells its no prob making planes jumpers tanks and some thing but its the spells i cant make spells i make upgrads of this mp o me and my friend i cn say that it isnt easy to make nw combos of attacks and model files when its no models left to useso now myfocus s on abilitiees. bob666/N-A-z-G-u-L could u help me understand??

ps: its not hard to m,ake the velhicles after the system is made. and the variables alredy there xD

 

[Cokemonkey11]

koler, I don't see a question in your post. If you figure out exactly what you want to know, post in one of the map help sections.

 

[Element of Water]

So, anyone thinking about fixing this for v1.24?

If this map isn't protected and the author is still around.

 

[Element of Water]

I tried tried editing it so I could play it on LAN but it seems it's somehow protected from saving - you can see all the stuff, but you can't change something then save it.

Did you use the newest version of NewGen?

No, because I did that awhile back and it worked fine.

 

[Element of Water]

Strange - I might try again tomorrow, but for now, nighty nighty.

 

[EvilKnight]

omfg im going to commit suicide if you dont make it work with the new patch in the next couple days im not kidding around, you dont wanna live with a strangers blood on your hands do you?!?!?!

i wasnt kidding...its been half a week...omfg..this map is half the reason i live

map maker is dead -_-

 

[emu]

yea it wont work

 

[dominator0]

WICKED! Without a doubt the most revolutionary map, that ever hit warcraft, some different versions should be made and some modes like deathmatch and maybe some terrain. No offence but if this map didnt get directors cut i dont know why any others should just an opinion ofc ^^

 

[Element of Water]

It's not finished - that's why it doesn't have director's cut. And from the looks of it, it never will be finished.

 

[dominator0]

i wonder is there a map in wc3 that has mouse aim in first person view? like in sharpshooter online just that you aim with mouse instead of keys

 

[Element of Water]

That's impossible without RtC. RtC doesn't work online. The end.

 

[Cokemonkey11]

RtC works just fine online, just not on bnet.

 

[Element of Water]

Yeah, but it's hard to set up and every player needs to have RtC installed. It doesn't even work with the latest patch anyway.

 

[emu]

work with patch please

 

[Qab]

With this map, I'm experiencing a problem i get when I mess up with custom script, where, when you try to play it, the teams and players are the same as the last map you had selected, and when you click Play, the screen flickers and where teh players usually are is a blank see-through square. I'm using version 3.6 Please fix so I can play and rate!

sorry, but it doesnt matter anyways, the map was killed by the patch and im really pissed because it was one of the best wc3 maps -_-.

There is a version running on 1.24

 

[Krl70]

isn't that one messed up?

 

[CrimsonCloud]

Hi can anyone help me?

When I select combat zone as a map in the menu the panel on the left where you choose teams freezes from the previous map and when I try starting the map nothing happens and it just goes back to the map select menu?

 

[CanFight]

strange cant play it then start it i get some kind of a error so i dont get to the lobby...
/////
Try 3.7 works fine

 

[deepstrasz]

Cannot be read by 1.31.1 (probably even a bit more earlier patches). Opening or saving with the editor is problematic.
