lag from anything, not just ping

I wanna make sure it has minimal to no lag over the internetz.

well including the explosions.... just take out C4s

the c4 is usefull in its own ways... just as the super rocketlauncher and the teles to nowhere...
just leave them in...

I always chucked a C4 on a team mate, who then flew over to some enemy gun tower\scarab, and suicide bombed.

Teles to nowhere? what?

if u has C4, change their respawn times to 360 seconds

HOW BOUT A MILLION

So in how many hours is the beta?
Ooh, you logged on.

i still remember finding that glitch on the first version

Ripping bsp's that have errors are totally fun!

I slept through the beta lol, i was on CMT snowgrove 24/7 all night and i had to sleep

Im still going to get the map to test it and see whats what...

CLS GRUNt bluntly put it:



I asked for the reasons...

1) Screwy sounds.
2) Annoying scarab, made noise a lot.
3) "NOT ENOUGH HUMAN S***"

Meh...

One more longsword, more hogs, more hangar vehicles...

Yeah...

When i think...hangar does lack a lot.

i've played it and heres what i have to say

GOOD

-Barely lags, i couldn't really find any spots where it would lag.

-the annoying nuke was takin away fromt he longsword

-much easier to get in the scarab now



Bad

-humans are overpowered, while the covenant are supplied with vehicles.
humans only have the longsword, pelican, warthog. where's the lil fighter jets???

-grunts said something about shaders...

-OMFG, i hate this but, i like how it has the snowy thing to it, but i can not see the text at all!
i had to darken my screen a bit to actually see the text since there's snow everywhere!

try to change the color of the text or something.

-why is it snowing in the hangar?


overall you did good, its much better than the old extinction.
Edited by AlwinRoth on Sep 27, 2008 at 06:45 PM

the hanger should be about as full as the hanger in campaign mode where you see all the marines on the PoA

since i wasnt there for beta testing i want to ask: are the teams equal... or do people still go to the human base and jack jets?

WOOT, ITS AWESOME! FIRST TO GET IT. But being first is nothing.

10. WTF TEXT!!!!! U CANT SEE IT ITS SO WHITE.
11. Make the f***ing scrab STFU!!!!
12. More human siht, lots more!
13. Lets see if we can take a step away from the noob weaponry
14. You could put in a covenent hanger, I liked that test map someone made and put on the fourms.
15. Its a little laggy at times
16. Krakem FTW
17. SPIRIT FTW
18. Thought about N-Pelicans once???
19. DESCRIBE WHICH TELEPORTER WE ARE GOING THROUGH! ONE TIME I DIDENT KNOW AND A NOOB KILLED ME WITH MYTHOS!
20. We need to go way faster on the ground, a tiny bit faster than the first beta you made...

ok turned out i was doing ctf the map is kinda boring (i didnt have vehicles when i hosted cus of the game type i chose) so i spawned them and no scarab? other then that i like it but u cant pick up C4's they just stay there

jakallan stop posting things you just said... you could have cut out half of that post if you took out what was said...

and some of the "new" things you pointed out other people just said

the only way you can change text in Halo is if you open the files in the "gallery" folder and change them... but i think a tutorial is easier and i think there is one on the site...

basically the color of the chat text and "who killed who" is based on those external files

thats how CMT made their custom chat thing is by editing the values in the files and making new bitmaps to use for the chat "window"

if the anti armor rifle is still there scarab = piece of cake...

personally i like the scarab being overpowerful.... gives it the feel of relying on your team to get together and take it out...

plus i think we need to work on the covenant standing a chance w/o having to take the humans sniper etc. basically have them survive with their own weapons and vehicles

Advancebo has fixed the scarab making sounds.

Now it only makes sounds when driver is in.

yeah that's in the widgets and functions section of the vehicle tag i think

I deem this map not worthy of my review...you know what, fine, here's you crap review:
Honestly, I can't see anything, too much WHITE everywhere. Ghosts? Spectres? You placed about 50 of each, and it took me about 10 times to get onto the Scarab, respawned and crushed me 6 times. Also, those Longswords should be called BLINDING SHIPS because they reflect too much, and blind you as much as looking around does. The cliffs look terrible, falling down below the bridge doesn't kill you, so you're stuck, and it's not even fun the least bit. You'd be lucky to find another person's ship, or another person. The civilian hogs can't be entered, and one gets stuck in a wall. There's not point to placing Needlers, Brute Plasma Rifles, and Pistols, or any weapon for that matter. Overall, it sucks. Either restart from scratch, fix a ton of stuff, or drop it.

yah i will be helping egg with stuff. and try to add a death plane under the bridge
