Yeah, well, I'm not exactly very well known on these forums, but I wanted to see feedback on my newest map.

Name: Abandoned Quarry
Author: Mythril
Description:
An abandoned quarry that was part of the Spartan training to test their fast reflexes.
This was just a test map for modelling cliffs.

Special Thanks:
Kaos for giving me feedback on the map and ben_benny for beta testing.

Weird bumpmap?



So yeah, give me feedback on it. =)

Oh and there's a secret path up to the cliffs, though it's hard...there's also a egg somewhere

Looks nice

Thanks =)

Yeah XD

Kudos to whoever finds the way up.

Looks okay. Eventhough you were just testing modeling skills you still should have added actuall bases. Is'nt that big of a deal. TBH when I saw this it reminded me of the Coyote and the Road Runner. Maybe it's the color of the map.

lol anyway it was a modelling test but when u play it its a pro oddball map and its still hell fun cus its small

ORLY?

Yeah, I was thinking about the lack of bases. Still, I'm pleased with the way the map turned out.

(BTW, a server is open, just in case someone wants to play, it's named Silence fills the empty grave (as all my servers are named))

This map is very interesting, especially in gameplay. Simple, but interesting.

Doesn't look too bad. I like the layout.

I shall team up with my flycam and together we will defeat your secret path

It looks interesting, better than most of the maps that are uploaded to halomaps. I like the theme of it, something not done very often. as someone said it reminds me of roadrunner and coyote.

Like Nexus said, it needs some actual bases. A cool forerunner thing built into each side would be nice.

Yeah it looks nice... the ''top part'' of the cliffs could have used something( More texture vairation? Some Scenery?) and as the other before said, Bases could be nice. Other than that I like the way the modelling is done, it looks nice and accurate.

good luck cus there is no secret path all it is is a place where u are abil to get up (just)

You will not team up with your flycam, because the new patch broke all the apps except alldev.

Still, there is a cam you can use to get up there...how else did I take the pics? O_o
There's also a command to teleport you up there XD.

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

I like the map. Took the time to load it up, and it feels smooth to play on. I hope to get the chance to play it with others soon.

Sure, why not? I'll open a server in a little while, need to finish some work first =(

just downloaded it, looks decent, much better than my first map who no one will help me with even though I do have errors. But I dont want to threadjack so, Cant wait to play it!!!

p.s mythril, I found the secret, may I plz tell the ppl who may not know?

Sure, why not XD.

It's on the cliffs.

That was fast XD. Were you camming around or did you actually get up onto the cliffs?

Thee cliffs look good. Everything else is kind of ok. Better then most box maps.

yea I got up there, I jumped on the vulcan at blue(nearest blue), and made it to the cliff.

that probably is not the way you had it planned, but that's the way I figured it out.

the secret is: mythril was here

I am going to make a vid on it.
Edited by Dragonmaster91 on Aug 13, 2008 at 04:30 PM

It seems that would be a great shotgun map.
You should add the backpack script to it.

As a matter of fact...

yes, that was the way I had it planned. Initially, it was meant to be a rock, but then I put in turrents instead.

@ backpack script, hmm, interesting idea, though I exceptioned the one and only time I tried it, which was for my second map.

XD

well, that is a really good map and cant wait for another, just make it large enough for like a warthog.

here is the vid link: http://www.xfire.com/video/1b39d/

That's right. Go and waste all your ammo. XD

Nice vid lulz. It does take a while to get up there, but I managed on someone else's server. =D

As for making it bigger, I might continue it on, but I MIGHT make it a long and winding map with several structures. Currently though, I'm working on editing particles to make em look nice. They look nice enough currently, but I'm working on making sparks fly =D

well, If you don't continue it, it was a great map.

unfortunately for me, the vid was kind of screwed up, I meant to have that first slide at the end and have attempt no.2 in there.
