This is a map i'm working on, it's like COUNTER STRIKE SOURCE but with aspects from Diablo 3, NOX for whoever played it..


edit: Seems like a problem with youtube and the thread. Here's the link:

Gaming Craft Discussion Board for the map's site.

What is Magic & Steel?

Long ago, warriors and wizards fought the Keeper of the Underworld. Now warriors seek to destroy all magic, claiming it to be the Keeper's doing, while wizards fight for their right to exist. Be the Magic against Steel, or the Steel against Magic.

Gameplay

Magic and Steel is a fast game based on the concept of Counter Strike: Source.
You pick your character, either from the Steel side which includes a Warrior or a Barbarian (More to come), or the
Magic side which includes the Witch Doctor or the Wizard.
You vote for an arena and then the number of rounds. You buy items accordingly at the beginning,
and the goal is to kill off every player from the other side. Every kill gives you money and then you can
buy more advanced stuff for the next round.

Features

- Fast-Paced Gameplay: No more boring stuff! Even a 1-on-1 experience can be total chaos!
- Advanced Item System: There is only one shop per side. The items you buy will change according to your class!
- Custom Sound Effects: Sound effects gives the game a new feeling and makes it more alive.
- Unique Ability Casting: Every class has its own way of learning new skills and advancing in them.
For example, Wizards need to buy spell books to get spells. Once you click on a spellbook in your inventory,
you get new abilities. Warriors on the other hand will learn skills during combat, depending on HOW YOU PLAY!
If you support your team, you will get skills that focus on team aiding, if you like to slay creeps around,
you will get skills that focus on killing multiple groups, ETC! You will level skills up by using that skill to kill
enemies, the more you kill the more you will automatically level up!
- Stamina System: Will change the gameplay and exhaust your character while attacking or using abilities.
- Convenient Attack System: Pressing "A" will swing your sword or staff or knife, and hit anyone who is
facing you. This gives you more a DIABLO kind of feeling to it!
- Custom User Interface: Magnificent custom made icons and a user interface makes the game unique more then ever.

Nox Rules :) Indeed the sound effects are from nox, but some are even from Diablo 2.

I basically took CS, NOX and some of Diablo 3's spells that we saw and put it all together.
The result is one heck of a fun and addictive game.

Thanks for the comments!

I am around 65% complete but I have alot more to do, alot more arenas to make, and alot more items. I am intending on releasing this only after many tests especially multiplayer tests, so you can enjoy it without having to suffer annoying bugs.

LOL I have nox installed too! I love that game. I finished it maybe 30 times.

For the modes, are there only going to be PVP game types or will there be more coop type games offered as well? And do you think there will be AI support?
Well, it IS a Co-Op game. You choose a char and there are 2 teams, magic and steel. One team vs the other, 4v4, 6v6, etc.

As for AI, there is AI for the creeps, but it won't be too hard to do it for characters too.
It is after all just ARENAS to fight in, not like an AOS.

Yea of course i'll do him. There will also be wizard traps to make just like on nox. I have alot of work :)
