Why are you talking about Scarabs now?

because, if you can flip a walker, i hope it doesnt glitch everywhere...

A pelican is very close to (might actually be bigger) the size of the Scarab's body and have considerable weight. Snowspeeders on the other hand, are quite a bit smaller then the AT-ATs and wouldn't have nearly the same amount of weight.

ah k. It seems very suseptiple to Air attacks due to it has no turret on the top with AA, which is good because all of these big overpowering vehicles need major loopholes to die.

Yeah I like how the AT-AT is going to be all big and bad but with a MAJOR weakness so that it is not overpowered...

Thus far I imagine it is like this:

If you are in front of it, you are basically screwed if the driver/gunner is good.
If you are behind it, it is screwed because of it being so slow and the main cannons being in the front.

:P

I did an overhaul of the first post, pretty much made an everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know sort of thing. I'll be updating the other vehicles and weapons as I get to them.

Also, I'm trying to make it so it would be impossible to flip an AT-AT, but you would probably still be able to, like people did with the Elephant (Speaking of which, go into H3 Big Team Battle on Sandtrap and flip one of the Elephants. Most people don't know of the "Wait... What? How'd you do that?" thing).

Lol whenever I see that I tend to yell "Do a barrel roll!!!" because of this one MMO I played that was starfox-ish. There is even a pic of an elephant flipping captioned "Do a barrel roll!!!" on halolz I think.

But with an AT-AT??

O_O

Some good news. My 3DS max is working, and I finished the Hoth BSP. Kinda. By kinda, I mean that the caves are done and there's no holes in the thing, but I don't LIKE it yet. I need to put some variation in the terrain, add the AT-AT spawn hill, add in that Ion Cannon (Maybe, my cave-in-the-side-of-a-cliff thing works, too, and that's the way it's seen in the movie), and it's ingame without texturing.

I'll see if anyone in Sigma's up to texturing the thing.

great map... you get a pat on the back
*pats jay on the back* :D

Well, I began work on an X-Wing, mainly because I felt like making an X-Wing.

I added it's bio to the front page, and got the main body mostly done, minus little details like the droid socket. I DID finish a fully detailed cockpit. I haven't started on the wings yet, though.

I'll let the picture speak for itself.

Looks like a beer bottle O.O

Heh, it does, doesn't it?
I pretty much finished it, I haven't added in the final details and such, but I got the basic model.


Also, I'm redoing different parts of Hoth, mainly adding in 2 new areas and redoing the Rebel Base. I also moved the Power generator, it used to be where the Ion Cannon is now. Now it's a bit more work to get to the Generator.
I also may tweak the Snowspeeder spawn points a bit, to make them more like this:

\           /
\           /
\           /
\  (Door)  /

Oh, right, the new layout:


I thought something was wrong with my cliffs (Or rather, Selentic thought so, and that's why I started remodeling), but, surprisingly, though I used no references whatsoever, they match the ones found in the movie. Interesting.

You watch it to much maybe.

Looks awesome, I'm really looking forward to it. Any ideas as to when it might be released, or not far enough along yet?
Edited by Scorpio on Feb 24, 2008 at 04:26 PM

Even if it was far enough along to have a release date, I still wouldn't tell you it, because things could come up.

Understandable. I'll just wait then. Keep up the good work anyway!

Thanks, I need a boost right now. Not exactly in the highest of spirits.

They have AT-ATs.

It's not really a Base, but they do spawn there.

It's more of a camp, actually. The Imperials weren't on Hoth for any long amount of time, so any time of permanent structure would be rather useless. They simply showed up, killed the Rebels, left a small platoon to recover data and guard the ruins of the base from any Rebels that tried to reclaim it, and then left.

I just say that's their base because I needed a spawn area for the Rebels.

You should work in the equivilant of a shotgun into this.

Star Wars Battlefront has a shotgun. It's almost exactly like the Mauler (or however you spell it) in Halo 3.

Yes, I know, the Flecehtte gun. I was considering it, but it wouldn't be in a fairly large map like Hoth.
Maybe if I decide to do a close-quarters map, like Mustafar.

Also, a new news update:
Alright, I may as well announce this. I'll be releasing more than just Hoth. I'm going for a MP map pack of sorts, 3-4 maps that I will release simultaneously. I have the first one set upon (Hoth), but I decided to let the community choose the others. Whichever 2 (Maybe 3) maps get the most votes will be in the first MP map pack:
-Mustafar
-Coruscant
-Endor
-Tatooine (Mos Eisley)
-Death Star (Land and space)
-Bespin
-Mon Calamari
-Death Star II (Space)
-Tatooine (Jabba's Palace)
-Rhen Var
-Kamino
-Felucia
-Mygeeto
-Utapau
-Korriban
-Tantive IV (Land)
-SSD Executor (Land)

Time to get voting!

How many votes each person?

Which one am i going to pick...

I would say everyone gets 3 votes.

I say:
Tatooine
Kamino
Death Star (Land and space.

Mos Eisley, Bespin, and Rhen Var. By Rhen Var do you mean the harbor or the citadel?

Wouldn't shotguns work fine for the tunnels?

I was thinking of combining the two, giving it the Harbor's layout, but the Citadel's buildings.

And I'm concerned about camping, though I think I put enough exits and passageways to avoid that. It is possible to avoid a certain area of the tunnels, and if I DO make a flechette gun, I would put it there.

that hoth map layout was essentially copied from SW battlefront II's hoth map correct?

Nope, the Power Generator is actually where the Ion Cannon is now, there was more space between the base and that location. The rebel outpost is positioned differently and one outpost has beeen completely removed, and the caves are different.

Hi, this is RougeSpartan's brother. I want Coruscaunt, Deathstar(land and space), and Korriban.

Just admit it; you have split personalities. People will like you more if you admit it.

I do, but that post was by my brother.

Stop denying that was your split personality.

I DO have a split personality, (Frodoish, Smart, Annoying, and Stupid.) but my brother posted that.
