yay i did it right XP

Cool. I am also wondering about the guns. Are they going to spawn every few waves or use gamma's point system? Also if it is infinite waves does that mean each wave gets harder or are all waves going to get the same amount of enemies(Like in b40_firefight)?
Sorry if this seems like a lot of questions.

i think it will get harder, then stay at the hardest, but i dont really know. also i like the idea of a point system.

both of you guesses are close, but wrong

the way it will work is it starts easy, then for 10 rounds, it will get harded and harder, then after round 10, it goes back to round 1 and continues infinitely until the player dies, after he dies, there will be a ending cutscene where screen fades to black and it gives you a rating based on how many rounds you defeated.

5 and lower is noob
6-10 is average
11-15 is adept
16-20 is pro
and if you ever manage to get above 30 is legendary
and 50 and anything higher is mythic

for weapons, every 5 rounds you complete, there will be a weapon drop that respawns all weapons and ammo, and adds two lives to your counter, all weapons and ammo are already on the map, to use them, you have to find them. the best guns are conceiled, while the weaker guns are in plain sight. i thought of the idea to respawn not just ammo, but guns, because when you die, and respawn, the weapons you were holding are deleted.

kind of like the medal system in dmt-air?
cool. so this lives thing, do you mean health bar things or LIVES as in LIVES in mario?

edit: ive never actually played a firefight. i downloaded portent tho now im playing it
Edited by disturbed on Sep 26, 2010 at 04:37 PM

Nice! So I assume only human weapons spawn. And that you can't pick up enemy weapons, or can you? For instance in firefight-portent the weapon a grunt was holding would disappear once you killed him. But in all the other firefights you could pick up their weapons. Is this going to be a feature in this firefight?

You can pick up their weapons.

There will be only grunts, jackals and elites?
or we can expect hunters and brutes or other enemies

didn't see a thirteen soooooo....

13.Delicon20

14.Sergeant 1337??

Im 13, look at the page before this, i made a request but didnt number it :(

Crit on latest build (27/09/2010 AUEST)

AI need to seek the player out ALL THE TIME. Grunts hiding from you and preventing you from progressing is bad. Searching for them until they make a squeal is worse enough.

will there be a cheat system like portent? lol for fun and exploring,
and i kind of liked portent's disapear weapons feature, it made you conserve bullets.
cant wait for this to be out!

not exactly,I had a beta before the news was let out =)

I'm fairly sure the disappear weapons feature was so that framerate wouldn't go down or to save tagspace, one of the two.

so did i, wheres my sword?

I had a beta when he had finished wave one ><

same here

Lol lucky! Ima be #16 with CQB armor!

NO >:O

Excuse me sir and/or madam. I would like to take the time to ask you if I may have a beta of your upcoming firefight map.

Good luck on this map, Shadowslayer.
It looks like this will be a major hit.
