well i just played contact, an new singleplayer level wich is uploaded and now for download
(download link http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=3579)


the auther is fatso784
And i have to say i like the map although it has a lot (almsot everything) texturing errors
but half of the ground terein is decently modeled

the other half tough was badly modeled

like i got my hog stuck a few times and kept going of the edge because the hog couldnt get an good grip on the ground

1 time i even had to flip my hog 10 times until i decides to use an nade to get it out

so when i finally get to the first few enemies

they dont see that far i have to say

like i keep shooting at them but they keep standing there until i get quiete close

when i enter the mine the map becomes better

like i not only have to defeat the enemeis on the ground
but i also get shot from a bove and the flanks

wich made up for the dumb ai earlier

the caves where badly modeled and textured but sinds this is ur fist map (i think) i will stop saying that

while going trough the tunnelsi saw you used a lot of dumb ai pilled into a room then using smart ai at this point (gets better later0

i kept being shot from multible sides wich kept the gameplay fun

i loved the fact that you put the ai/modeled the map in such an way that i cant (well i can but i get shot a lot) rush into an room

for instance you get into an room wich has enemies on small balcony/s and on the ground

and all of a sudden 2 hunters come out of an tunnel (wich is to small for them believe me i know i saw that the hunter waas almost 2 times as broad when it chased me troug the tunnel when i killed the other hunter)

I though lol at that moment thanks for that XD

like befoer heading out side there was a small room with a lot grutns, elties 2 hutners aadn a few grutns with plasma canons

i loved the damge i had given when i sticked 1 of those grutns rough an small windows opening

i think i heard 3 plasma cannons and tons of plasma nades expolde and when i got into the room i saw that there wher bodies trown 20 meter far away into the tunnel

then later i come to the outside and i see a few elites waiting for me with needlers

i didnt like the fact that they just mindless shot all their needler ammo away
was fun though then i sticked all of them when they ran out of ammo

then after killed the elites i got an an ghost and i kept being shot by grunts in turrets from multible angles

i liked the idea that you had for this canyon part of the map

but what i didnt like was that half way the canyon i saw tons of turrets but no grunts in there

then after a while i got near an teleporter and i get an shot cut scene and then i am on a covenant bridge i think wich a few enemies on the other side

when i shot at them they didnt react wich was kidna boring they where jsut shooting targets

after taking most of them out with an sniper i saw something weard like i wanted to shoot an eltie but i think you moddeled something half way the bridge because soemthing stopped it half way the bridge when i should had an clear shot at him

i kept shooting at the elite but no effect until i moved a bit to the right

wel almost at the end of the map

i liked the way you used the gold elites with energysword they where soemtimes hard to kill

because of the large amount of health

and i liked the way you used the middle part of the last part of the level

plus points:

good gameplay at times
i could use my shotgun a lot in close corners and could sneak attack a lot
lotz of xplosions
very good scripted for ur first map ( i cant script that well so bravo :P)
use of ai in combination with the bsp/map at soem poins
given me 30 min of fun

negative points:
to many invisable elites they just lost their rare apearance wich i liked
most of the map bsp/texturing
dumb ai at some points
given me 30 min of frustration

rating:

well my rating is 7 because i am keeping in midn that this is ur first map (atleast i think)
and that there jsut arent so many custom made sp maps of this huge mc donald size

dont look at the typo's i made to lazy to fix
