If it is, how would it be possible?

Do you know how to design Halo type builings like in ODST?

I've wanted to do this for a while, heck Gamma and I were actually attempting that with Subterfuge but the map wasn't big enough.

We/I was planning stuff for something such as Cityscape_Classic or Autumn_Slayer, but neither got into any type of in-game state.

Yes it is possible.

Yes, Subterfuge was somewhat an emulation of this. The version I played was foggy so I couldn't see much, though.

didnt mp2spmt have something on this??...

Hence where the illusion of an "open-world" map was born.

combine RPG betas, extinction, hugeass, bloodgulch, coldsnap, infinity, and danger canyon into one map. and you have open world.

Where do I find Subterfuge, I want to see what you did with it.

Also, can I script a render/draw distance system that morphs faces together depending on the distance

It's not released, but I'm attempting (and failing) at getting Gamma to release it just so it's released and you guys get the ODST weapons.

S'not released.

It's just "Wander around and fight pockets of enemies"- personally I find the maps like that fairly bland.

No.

Wow. Hi there.

is the tactical br still in subterfuge? if so, you must make gamma release it!

I wonder what kind of features you would want to have in said 'open world' map ?

a larger-scale chronopolis style map would be freaking awesome..

liberty city from GTA3 would make a sweet map

You hurt me. We Had concepts but never used them. We DID have something, but never did it. I think you weren't on much when we did so.

The original ideas that we had for Subterfuge would to be like, random ODSTs (all part of your squad) crashed-landed in the swamp so now you gotta go rescue them. Unfortunately like I said before, the map wasn't big enough for this.

My idea for Cityscape was to make the city seem ODST-like, then the encounters were either:
-Random groups of enemies in places similar to ODST, but there's no main objective. Enemies will respawn with a new randomized makeup of guys.
-Multiple objectives strewn around the map that you can complete in whatever order you choose. Perhaps a main objective will unlock once you finish all the others, we weren't quite sure.

The latter, pl0x?

You could always have the objectives "mini" missions within the level, just simple things sometimes but others ranging from blowing up a communications outpost, to killing X amount of enemy leaders in the area, Surviving for a certain amount of time, providing cover support from a building, and the finale being a warthog run/escort mission.

Something like that.

yes its very much possible but it matters how big you want it...

the bigger less detail

the smaller more detail


say like a city map like chronoplis it could be easier because you can make it lower poly.

i remember inferno tried a Gta like thing on it..

where u have to do missions and you get money.. but if you kill a civilian as a cop (warthog with gunner drives by) they will kill you.. or you can jack it and take there car and watch the nades come at you...


idk how many people know about that map i remember a leaked build of it

All this talk of an Open World SP is making me anxious. Someone make one, pl0x? :P

FPS levels have a main goal. If the level's actually made decently, it has side objectives that help towards the main goal.

Must be when I was on leave from HM. I do remember being asked to explore the concept using an existing MP map, but that was long before you joined I believe.

But I do believe such an idea has a lot of potential and if well executed will provide a lot of entertainment value.
