itt: sel begins unwrapping cliffs, makes shitty map better

[ThePlague]

:o holy fuck that's awesome

[Corndogman]

Am I the only one who think that looks fucking terrible compared to what we have now?

:\

No, I agree. I'm sick of seeing boring grass fields with cliffs and boring lighting. I think the lighting looked good in that pic, but that's it. Desert just has to be done well, and you're on the right track.

I second the stream/oasis idea.

Model some cactus's and alien cow skulls and put them in. Make some GOOD detail sand (having the alpha alternate between wavy and non wavy sand) and get some god damn animated tumble weeds.

Man I was hoping for a good snow map. I find myself in want of a map with the atmosphere of the icy, barren land that is Coldsnap, but keeps the fun and balance.

If you are going to do a desert theme, and you do make skulls for scenery, make them the skulls of the creatures at 0:53.

what
no

dont do that

[TEMPTii]

That must have been the most epic thing of its time [that preview] and it gave me chills :]

Maybe the desert could have salt crystals like that in Halo 3

I've made some final gameplay changes to the BSP, if all goes well in our next "competitive" playtest we will switch our efforts from manhandling this into the ground, and instead throw on some makeup, eye liner, etc, and start making it look better.

This may or may not include a model random scenery that would fit in this map contest.

Well keep up the good work, it looks great
