Extinction2 mod

[Inferno]

Look at the ship, the top is totally fucked up. Its stretched across the top with that black metal stuff and the end of the ship where the engines are supposed to be just looks wrong.

And you know there is a distance clipper program to enable rendering large maps so the fog is sorta pointless and ugly.

The map is a little more land-friendly, I think now. I still have to test that.

The areas inside the ship are vital to the map, as a safe spawn area, and a place to arm up and go out to fight.

There is an area inside the covie ship now. It works like a hangar, but is more like an enclosed large area, for the covies. Now they don't have to watch themselves get nuked all the time.

Yeah, scenery will be in places where needed, but it isn't the main priority, right now at least.

Yeah, the Covenant area is a lot more organized. And movement is much more easier.

Ok, I, for one, enjoyed playing on extinction if I felt like playing around for fun, and not having a completely serious, competitive game, which is probably what the map was created for.

However, it was too big for land vehicles, except for the big ones such as the Scarab and the Mythos, and nobody ever went inside the ships. I'd suggest removing the areas of the ships that you can access. Instead of having all the Covenant vehicles lying around on the ground, I'd suggest putting in a hanger model in the Covenant ship, similar to how it is on the UNSC cruiser.

Also, put more scenery, make it look nicer to look at, and try to make it a little smaller.

That's all I have for now. Even though a lot of the people here tend to seem rude, they know what they are talking about. Listen to what they have to say, it'll help you in the long run.

I think that the only areas in the ship that you should have access to is the hanger, and not the bridge, or the armory, or any other place.

As of now...

Bridge, hangar, long hallway area.

I'm sorry these people are giving you a hard time. but yea extinction just sucks period

[Inferno]

What the fuck did you do to the hanger?!?!? It looks like someone painted it a nasty brown.

And whats with all the Bad UV's in the destroyed cockpit for the POA?

Extinction is a fail map.

Modifying shitty maps is a guaranteed way to be associated with AIDS and fail.

Extra large maps in general suck cock.

Make something that isn't dicksnap with a texture swap and some shitty ripped ship models and we'll give you crit other than "do something else".

When you want to make a map, think to yourself: "Will my map even be played 3 months down the road?"
"Is there anything even remotely memorable about my map?"
"Is my map just a remake of someone elses map that has been played to death?"

Look at CMT Snow Grove. It was fairly different from dicksnap (excluding the setting), had decent gameplay and had shiny things that many other modders/mod teams don't bother adding like different weapon loadouts, different weapons in general, etc.

Actually, don't. Snow Grove is also an overplayed piece of shit. Make something else that will eventually become an overplayed piece of shit.

Oh, and don't bother with Halo CE. Source/UT3/CryEngine2 are far better and have a bigger target audience. Lots of people here play TF2 and CS:S, so asking them for gameplay advice shouldn't be much of an issue.

Saying that they fail and calling coldsnap dicksnap are heavily opinionated.

And I don't think it is fair to judge a map based on ships and textures.

Now...I really am sick of people calling hugeass, coldsnap, and Extinction failures. they are just maps that are different than most maps you seem to consider 'good'

These three maps are highly enjoyable and fun to play on. A map does not suck because you think so. think of it this way; If you hate chocolate, does that make chocolate a bad thing? no, of course not.

There seems to be a lack of discussion here and more a collection of hate messages about large maps. (In this thread.)

You seem too smart to be doing such a shitty map. Learn more and do something else.

I'm just doing it for fun.
