This is where I will post my WIPs for TMAP (made in partnership with Bo and Mythril)

For those unfamiliar with the concept, To Mock a Prophet is a sort of gametype where you are in an area, and a 2 minute timer starts on your HUD. Hordes of enemies will charge at you, and your goal is to kill as many as you can before time is up. Once time is up, the enemies disappear, the HUD displays the number of enemies killed and what reward you receive for that.

Gameplay/Level Flow:

The player starts in a crashed pelican. Your objective is to assassinate the prophet, and a fleet of pelicans were sent, but they were shot down by Covenant AA and you are the sole survivor. Soon, the 2 minute Grunt round starts. Rewards for Grunt round will be human weapons.

This takes place on the exterior of TnR. He moves up the plateua, where the 2 min Jackal round starts. Then he sneaks into a phantom just as it takes off for High Charity.

Small cutscene starts, showing the council chamber on High Charity. Inside is a prophet giving some speech about how the humans must be destroyed. A Zealot then marches out of the council room, followed by 2 Ultras and 8 SpecOps.
Then, the camera cuts to a phantom as it lands on one of the landing pads (see above). The player sneaks out, and proceeds into High Charity. Then, to the right and left platforms, hordes of Elites rush in as the 2 minute Elite round starts. Rewards for this round will be Covenant weapons of power.

Once the 2 minutes end, a Banshee will fly over and land near the player, and a Zealot will climb out. Once he is obliterated, the player will get into the Banshee, and a cutscene will start showing him flying onto the ledge outside the council chamber. Once he is there, the ultimate 2 minute round will start, as Grunts, Jackals and Honor Guards attack you from all sides as well as the prophet.

If you don't kill the prophet in 2 minutes, an additional cutscene will show reinforcement guards coming in and killing you. If you kill him within two minutes, your objective is accomplished and you'll have to escape High Charity.

Weapons and stuff:

-I'll be using a custom weapon set. More updates later, I'm still finding tags.

-Doan's Grunt and Jackal, and BP's Elite and Heretics.

-Custom BSPs for High Charity (obviously)

Thanks and credits:
- Look at the video above's description for the tags I used.
-Mythril for being the BSP designer of this project, oh and the awesome particles
- Advancebo for the ripped Halo 2 High Charity
- Tuaha for skinning weapons (which is in progress)
- Gamma927 for critiscm, support, and providing me with the idea of having a unique map.
- Some other guys - remind me if I forgot you, unless you happen to be Jacknme.

Quote: By putting in this anti-cheat script you have lost 1 point from what I vote the map, unless of course you make it easy enough to be done without cheats. That hardly ever happens though, because map developers tend to be idiots when it comes to the difficulty of the level: [rage]I CANT KILL 5 DARN ELITES AT THE SAME TIME WITH A PLASMA PISTOL![/rage]

The map will most likely be playable without cheats for the average gamer, but if you insist on using cheats, I'll implement a system where a code is typed into dev that disables the anti-cheat script. I can then give those who demand cheats the code.

Then you might as well not implement the anti-cheat system...

Oh and i take it that this is not a never ending map?

And since it ends, I suggest maybe making the final battle/wave a very difficult and epic one, or maybe even a boss? o.0 I CAN HAZ GRAVEMIND

And how about using the heretics as THE ultimate reinforcements, maybe making them only drop in with their banshees in the middle of the last and most difficult wave.

this would make the map more popular :)

Nades are Mythril's.

And, as for teh script, when a cheat is used, it loads the map (which is SP) as a MP map, resulting in CRASH.

how bout that big guy for a boss

...ummm...the heretics don't need to know the humans are the forrunners to be their allies.the elites didn't know that in halo 3.and the heretics were in basically the same situation as the elites,a flood army,the lieing prophets leading the covenant,I'm pretty sure they wouldn't fight people.but do what you want,I guess the story is far enough off of the halo storyline (because of the fact masterchief went to high charity after killing regret and ripped a flood infection from mercy's neck basically slitting his throat.but you already knew that of course.wow I'm so bored I can't stop typing.

Sanctuary is protected, and I don't know if anyone who has it would give it to him.
