I made b40 final, I did everything of that. Also, the paths in this are COMPLETELY different from those of b40_final. This map uses custom animations, whereas final used recorded anims that were stringed together.Quote:

There are death barriers that keep you from going down the pyramid. I'm guessing this is what happened to you. I should have mentioned this before though.Quote:

Oh yeah I had banshees in at first, but they would tend to get stuck or splatter the marines. It just wasn't very fun. I found that the ranger elites did a better, more balanced job of danger from above. That hunter is a remnant biped from part of b40_final.
I kinda like the funny hunter cannonQuote:

but yeah fun map, btw the jackals "climbing" the center beam is kinda like in b40_final
I had an idea for the map, at the bottom of the pyramid have a crashed pelican with scattered supplies, you know, tempt the player into abandoning the top of the pyramid for a chance to get ahold of some better weaponry (ie laser)...
just a suggestion though
The jackalls are actually the exact same beginning encounter as in b40_final. That thing was never supposed to be released, and I learnt a few things about who is trustworthy around here.
There's also that death barrier that keeps you from leaving the main playing field. So I can't really do the crashed pelican.
I get an exception data error when loading your map. It only happens wirh your map. Maybe I should redownload it then.
E: Yeah, i redownloaded the map and it still crashes the game.
like i said, its a suggestion. because the average player (if it existed) would be tempted to run past all the enemies to get, let's say BR ammo and a laser or maybe a sniper rifle...Quote:

anyways, can't wait for the final build of this firefight map, its got potential
did you try running it as a campaign map? map_name b40_firefightQuote:

I'm liking the map, but it has it's flaws, being a beta I guess this is a given.
My biggest concern is the following;
Although this might be a sure way to contain a player, it is certainly not the best. Players don't want to feel as if they have to obey some godlike power to stay in their place. They want to feel as if they can freely explore what is given to them, this is why all of Bungie's maps are usually canyons or islands, so that the player doesn't feel confined by a magical higher power. Perhaps editing the BSP would be going too far, but scenery is not exactly out of the question. Other than that, the map is great, especially for a beta. Good work :)Quote:
