with portals:
-camping mode

without portals:
-camping mode in bases

in conclusion:

is the same chity

everthing wrong with biggass is:

-It is that the players (like me) don't know aim weapons
and that if know makes them more easy kill

-the falcon It is the way more easy to die for snipers, rockets, gauss, spartan laser

-sniper gauss makes it impossible to advance, i mean: if a sniper (blue) with a sniper gauss at the base (red) , it makes that team not to advance and die always

on the one hand they are advantages but if you're one of the millions of people who don't like to die quickly is a disadvantage

on the one hand it is that I am one of the people who do not have much performance to play mods very well, in my times playing maps mods was one of my hobbies (It's like saying I'm an old Tester) and I have qualified many very good maps, and very few bad

biggass is cool, but have bugs that sometimes do not I like to play it, but even so I like

I don't think you get what portals are... it has to do with the games rendering.

Everything here is looking awesome, so much cool stuff in this map.

On a different note, I entered a server, got out and quickly entered again, and this happened. aLTis?




Oh, and it seems it's possible to Warthogs to get stuck there too.



i didnt do it, blame [$], hes bad

I'm finding that people are abusing a glitch to get outside the bounds of the map and camp bases (mainly red) with the binoculars and rifle. It's really difficult to stop.

When you enter a server before you leave it, then server gives you a random name from the list which I edited as you can see.

Tried horizontal portals as well?

Maybe you want to try.

I could give it a try for you if you'd like, although promises can't be made.

What you'd want to do is subdivide everything behind the hills into several clusters. That said if you have a horizontal plane near the top (not too high though) that covers almost all the road areas between the hills, and then split them up with vertical portals.



Thus creating a sort of small boxed in cluster type between all the hills?How far does it exceed the tris count limit?

That's the BSP http://www.mediafire.com/download/rb5qe1irqat886r/bigass121.rar

It has 38 148 triangles and Halo can handle 16 384 triangles.

Nice terrain model altis94

This. This happened to me yesterday; I was on red team and a blue team member was able to bypass the playerclip area located on the hill on the mongoose-shack-side of red base. He then camped there with a gauss sniper rifle and would back off into cover whenever we tried to strike back. It basically broke the game and allowed them to keep many of us within the confines of our base area.

I reccomend that some kind of death zone be put out past the boundaries of the map to prevent this in the future.

I made a SAPP event that kick everyone who goes out of bounds:

event_alive $x>207 'sv_kick $n'
event_alive $x<-200 'sv_kick $n'
event_alive $y>111 'sv_kick $n'
event_alive $y<-107 'sv_kick $n'

Should be good enough for now. Also I just claimed my server on gametracker so it should show player stats and stuff soon.

Why not ban ?

Because ultimately, you want to get people out from behind those boundaries. Kicking them, gets them out from behind those boundaries just as well as banning them or running a kill command.

Waau cool portals m8.

Well I will try to optimizing bsp and getting it ingame to see how bad it will look.

Well it only takes a few seconds to make new UVs so whatever m9.

So are there plans to make the Hornet less poo? As it stands, the only thing it's particularly good as is giving easy (triple) kills to anybody anywhere on the map with a laser.

It really needs to be faster or more maneuverable or invincible or something. As it stands it's a total death trap which is a shame since it's a lot of fun to use.

The Falcon is a weird vehicle, for me. For me, it's a death trap, and using it almost invariably results in my demise. But when I find myself being engaged by a Hornet, it seems to transform into a Magic Murder Machine (trademark pending) from which there is no escape.

A Hornet might be a bit more user friendly, compensating for its vulnerability with a smaller profile and increased maneuverability while sacrificing some passenger space (but I rarely see people transporting more than one or two passengers at a tme in the Falcon), but I don't know that the Falcon is necessarily a problem that needs correcting or just something that I'm not good at using.

Why not both?

The hornet needs a little bit more maneuverability. With that said though, its a fun vehicle to use, and if piloted well, you can use tactfully and help your team mates out a ton.

I think that the Truck needs to be made a more useful vehicle. As it stands right now, it is slow, weak, and defenseless, and it good for little more than screwing around. A boost in health or speed (especially health) would be a welcome change, and one that would make it actually viable as a group transportation platform.

Lol! Wow, that's crazy. And very unusual.

The armored truck, or the Spade? I really liked the armored truck in the previous iterations of the map (it was my favorite flag capture vehicle), but I can see how it may have been considered slightly overpowered. That being said, it does seem a bit too vulnerable to small arms fire, now. Coupled with its other disadvantages, particularly low speed and how prone it is to rolling over, it doesn't feel quite as effective as the other vehicles. Of course, the video in the post above proves that it can still be useful even in its current state.

This map might be too small and has too many densely populated areas with trees, but I'd still like a pelican to replace the falcon. Every time I get in a Falcon I get kek't in a few seconds.

only a rockethog and buggati :l

Give the truck a side gunner seat (through a little window or something) but make the gun only as strong as the assault rifle

I like the idea.

If there were some way to repair a damaged vehicle, or even a health meter so you could tell how damaged it was that would make it more useful.

Honestly, the biggest strike against the Hornet is the inclusion of the laser. Rockets can be dodged and gauss rifles take a little while and dieing to small arms eventually is fine, but the laser can kill you instantly from anywhere on the map.

The laser is the most versatile weapon in the game now. At least in the last version it was pretty sucky to aim up close or at super long range, but now it's solid close and easy to aim long. It's the weapon I always try to have no matter what I'm going to be doing which is kind of bad weapon design for a Halo game.

Also seconding the Truck comments. The slow, invulnerable version in the last map was fine and headshotting was the only real trike against it. Now that you can't do that, I think an invulnerable version would be fine (especially since people often like to shoot their team mates in it either to get their attention or just to troll).

Well the smoke on destroyable vehicles is indicator that vehicle is damaged, it shows up when 40% of health is left. Bourrin I personally don't like how op spartan laser is, I made it kill Falcon with 2 shots instead of 1 in a private beta but then Bourrin started crying...

If I added gunner seat to truck then the back door would not work anymore. The destroyable truck was something I made right before releasing this public beta, I just wanted to see how it works this way.

There are issues that I critisize when you are trying to play with any type of Controller e.g. PS3 controller.

Known issues in bigassv2,104 when playing with gamepad:
- The turning rate in the tank is horribly slow when turning left or right. But the up and down aiming is ok.
- The turning rate of yourself (player) (If you're trying to go for a spinning no-scope or whatever) is so horrid you can't even score spinning no-scopes.
- The turning rate of the warthog turrets is half as fast as the normal/stocked maps warthog turrets.
- The warthog turning rate when driving is slow that you can't even perform doughnuts.

Will the turning values need to be restored to the stock values in stocked maps when playing with the gamepad?

PS: I'm actually pretty descent when playing with gamepad without entering vehicles with horrid turning speeds.

same here, but using a Xbox 360 Generic controller.

is there any way to fix zooming in 3rd person? it looks weird when you do it
Edited by Nanou2 on Sep 20, 2014 at 07:42 PM

Maybe you could do what bungie did and just disable zooming all together in 3P. Also, this reminds me. I was playing v2104 and for some reason I couldn't reload while I was in the passenger seat of the falcon. I pressed "R" after a shot or two, couldn't reload. I tried emptying my mag to get the auto-reload to work, but it didn't. I haven't gone back to try and re-create the bug so I don't know if it was freak chance of if there really is a problem, but something went wrong.
