Exelent map

Thanks, what did you like/dislike about it?

 

[.KC]

I played it short.

I dislike the alarm sound thats keep playing and playing and playing. I needed to turn off my sound speakers.

I think its to hard for singleplayer. Even with "whosyourdaddy" activated I died pretty fast.

 

[43berries]

Well you can't test out a map alone when it's multiplayer..

 

[Supermj]

lol. Why don't you make it so the more players there are present, there
harder it is? That is easy to trigger, and really makes it better for those who don't like playing multi-player too much.

 

[43berries]

eh....... this map isnt meant for single player

 

[Supermj]

But yet, it doesn't work too well with 2 people. Why not? it would be easy to fix too.

 

[43berries]

Alright, I'll see if I can implement a dynamic spawn.

 

[HappyTauren]

Map size is real phail.

 

[43berries]

It's smaller than the last.

 

[Steel_Stallion]

Its almost impossible to play this with more than 5 normal people on B.net (By normal, i mean you dont know them) They leave before they finish DLing because the file size is Shit huge. I could only play it with my friends. This map is just alot of bark and no bite. (Its really showey with all the un-nesscary custom models but it just doesnt give me the same impact as undead assault for example)

 

[43berries]

Eh, it has a-lot of bite if you get into it... It's extremely hard for a reason.. There is one problem though, sometimes players drop during the game and I don't know why.

 

[smily132]

Please get rid of tks?

 

[43berries]

Ha, alright, I can get rid of friendly targeting, but i cant get rid of spells TK

Dude, large file size... If I were you do something about the textures...

In my map, I have 15 custom models... 10 of them about 100kb while 4 of them are more than 500kb... But my map's file size is 465kb...

Why? Because I did something about the files I import to my map...

There's this one spaceship model which has a BLP file of 450kb, I converted it to 70kb, and in my opinion, the quality was still understandable...

But, instead I switch to a different approach, I made all the models share the same textures... The texture was only 40kb and it removed 300kb from my map...

So simply, what I'm trying to say is convert all your textures to about 60% and it will do you good...

Why is the map size such a problem? Is it not too much to ask if people get better computers? By the way, it's around 1-1.5mb of sound alone. I'll look into it. By the way I have over 20-30 some custom models; that alone creates size problems. I like how your map consolidates all the models together, but the models I use are not mine, therefore I cannot make drastic altercations to them.

 

[Ub3r_]

I don't see whats wrong with 4MB. WoW arena is 4.5mb.

 

[43berries]

4.5 is unhostable.

-Reply - Its not exactly simple for some1 to go out and just get a better computer. Some people don't know what a good or bad computer is unless they are using it. Some don't know how to put them together. But here is the real problem: Money, Not everyone has the money to just go spend what they want whenever they want.

 

[43berries]

Well I try to make my map user friendly. Most people could run it, some lag out really bad, some cause server splits. what do you mean drastic altercations..

 

[TheDivineBoss]

It is possible to do it in singleplayer, without cheats, but you won't make it pass the first corner

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I think its to hard for singleplayer. Even with &whosyourdaddy activated I died pretty fast.

Wtf? You cant die with whosyourdaddy... thats impossible

The map is great ^^

 

[TheDivineBoss]

You can, if you get buffed. I tried it.

 

[Discohydra]

Very Very Good map,

This is what i liked about it:

Nice damage/hp scales,
Good threat of dieing fast,
Marines have a GOOD range, Get a scout sniper or a covert OP to get sight for the team if possible.
Could you get in any more weapons!?!?! Alot of selection.
This game has some weapons that most others of this genre never have even seen!

Things I disliked:
Frequent disconnections with 6 or more people.
Medics are sparce, Take out the Necromortious Influenza.

Thats it, Good job! 5/5

"Necromortious Influenza" as you call it, has been in the whole series (from "Unredeemed Tears" to "Zero Hour"), and i think you mean "Necrotizing Fasciitis" (also in the whole series), since medics cant cure Necromortious Influenza, but they can cure Necrotizing Fasciitis.

Awesome Map...

 

[deepstrasz]

Quite difficult.
