What? well anyway i'm glad race is going to be fixed.. (I had a post about it but i'm too lazy to copy it outa the notepad right now...) I loved race but couldn't use it due to this problem... so thanks and good luck.

i was just looking that those pics again and i noticed something: it looks like you can get to where the flags spawn by walking up the thing where the ghosts spawn on V1 and jumping over that barrier. will the flags still spawn there? or will they be up on the funky bits where you need to use a vehicle to get to? (that would be a good way to encourage using the hogs in CTF more than just to get to the walking part..)

i agree, dont put scarab gun in it would destroy a great map

duun duun duun.... DUNDUUUUUUUUNNNNNN lol just joking around... the scarab gun would be fun... but once all the noobs know where it is then well... the map would be ruined so no. um... hmm weapon sugestions... hmm... nope i'm at a blank right now... sorry...

what don't you get about this?
yoyorast is doing something that not many people do. the map doesn't need fancy custom guns, it doesn't need fancy long swords. HAS IT EVER OCCOURED TO YOU THAT A MAP CAN BE EXCELENT WITHOUT BEING N00BED TO BEING ANOTHER HEAVY NUB/VEHICLE WHORE MAP?

yoyorast is about game play.
does blood gulch need a "scarab gun?"
does snow torn cove need "long swords"?

no, NO and NO!!
n00b out

The flags are more or less at the same places.. Normally the barriere are not jumpable... If they are, I'll make them higher..



Can't agree more... Although , there'll be my Custom 5 seats hog cause it'll be an added value for the gameplay... the weapons will remain classic or slightly moded..

by what reasoning do you think that?

i'm just curious why you think that all that crap makes a good map. if the map is designed for lots of vehicles, then i suppose it's alright (though i'm yet to see a tactically pleasing vehicle map), but if it doesn't (yoyorast for example) then why do it?


my only problem with transport hogs is their distinct lack of fire power. if a normal hog (or a ghost) comes up behind them (or in front) they are royally screwed. they can't fight back before the guns rip them to shreds. of course if you where to put a hog turret on the back and slow it down, i think that that would make it balanced (but not painfully slow. mb a tad slower than a ghost?) they just need more fire power. that's all.

just 1 problem, can't you get a banshee and fly it straight to the flag? that would kinda ruin it (unless it doesn't spawn in CTF, but then you'll still get n00b servers with custom game types that have 4 of every vehicle so you get banshee's.. but screw them.

from the pics, it does look like you can jump over it. i guess if you can, that'll be the 1st thing to get fixed during beta.

btw, you still havn't said what you wanted those vids for (or are you just going to wate till you make a promo vid comparing the winning vid to the V2?)
n00b out

I think the 5 seats hog I want to put in will be perfectly balanced with the other normal hogs cause the relative lack of fire power (although it depends on the weapons the bipeds carry on tem, and I there'll be more heavy weapons on the hog path) is balanced by the possibility to carry people... So ys it can be weaker, but you'll have better chances to catch the flag or protect someone carying it... and in race mode, you can make 5 laps in one...
So , in the garage there'll be 2 custom 5 seats hog in first line, then rovket hog, then machine gun hog..

Of course the banshee wont appear in CTF and Race... only for slayer.. and you wont be able to use it in any gametypes but slayer... unless you use devmode... but this is for stunt games and i dont care... serious servers wont run devmode..

I still can't say why I made the vid contest.. you'll know soon now..

why 3 times? 2 is enough.... ok cool stock or slightly modifid weapons... sounds cool. Hmm think what this would be like in halo 2..... mmmmmm.... lmao.

Wow nice hog! at first I couldn't even see the seats... till I realized they were like the scorpions seats... lmao.

hmm.. not bad, i was thinking it was gona be more like the transport hog on... wartorn cove (is that the map?). my only problem with it is that it wouldn't take much to fall out.

seats like that are fine on a tank, because it's slow as horse feces, but on a hog, i think that people would be pretty likely (in real life) to fall off (especially on some of the crazy jumps on the map). for that reason, i think there needs to be a seat their for them to be abit less exposed in. not like s big seat on the side of the hog, but build the seats into the side of it.

but then again, look at the turret.. but that still has something to grab the top of your body onto...

up to you, that's just my $0.02

ps. "sometimes i wonder if i'm the real yoyo"

GTFO. 1 who said that?
2, what makes you beleve them?
3, this should be a PM, now DON'T GET THIS THREAD LOCKED...

to keep on topic, when i said "by what reasoning do you thing that?", that wasn't directed at you yoyo, that was at the guy who said "more vehicles = good" not you.
n00b out

I like the seats... but what turret? I saw no turret on the 5 seat hog.... unless you mean the bar O_o

who ever said their was a turret?

and the map should be out some time in febuary i'm guessing.
n00b out

oh.

i was talking about the turret on the normal hog >.>
i was saying that you'd be pretty likely to fall off that in real life but atleast you still had the handles of the turret to hold on to.

sorry for the confusion

wow i cant wait for island 2, i finally got around to playing the original. Oh my god its huge.

Little V2 update:

Hi Guys, no big news yet unfortunatly... Since my last update I didn't got much time to make progress ... Life things (I think I'll have more time soon)... I just took the time to make some changes on the roof's bases area cause I wasn't happy with the design there. I guess and hope its nor styled now.. Also changes the gameplay : Now (when riding hog) you'll have to jump from the last ramp onto the roof's base where the 2 teleporters are placed now... this results in : no more passing flag, no more access for bipeds and a fun little last jump before you can get the flag. Take a look at the pic... More pics at http://www.yoyorast.com

thks, yeh only one secret tele to the secret room and another one to the top of the high tower that's all! and ZERO secret anything in V2!

yoyo, how do you think of these crazy map layouts?

He probably got bored one day and started doodling or something. Or maybe when he was trying to come up with some crazy idea, he dozed off and dreamt it up. Just some theories.....

I use to make concepts , find ideas and solutions to problems every night in my bed... and I spent my entire childhood playing with all kind of lego and "construction" games you can imagine..

Lol, I was close. Well sorta.

hmm..

well, i've just considerd a few things.


ok, 1: can you still jump down where the ghosts are?
2: what's stopping you just grabbing the flag and running back down the tube?
3: what's to stop the snipers shooting the guy on the.. red is it? base from the snipers arm?

that's all i want to know :)
n00b out

if you jumps down in the gravity lift again you will fly up.

i think their either should be 2 versions of this one with grav lifts and one without, because the grav lifts wont sync, and ladders,well they do,
or the beta testers test it and see how bad it does lag

- Yes you can jump from the roof's base onto the garage.
- first , it's now grav lifts (if it doesn't work well, i 'll put the ladders back again), 2nd point: if you'd jump back into the glass , you'd fall in the sea, cause there a hole now..
- And no sniping will be possible anymore form the atv base to the 2 bases.. cause there is now a big mountain in between..

yes, i'm sure you prime beta material.

i noticed that to.I saw that extra mountain.thats good.

yer man, i like ya know, totally like no like what like your like talking about man like yerrrr...

[/sarcasam]

that's not the tall mountain yoyorast is refering to. if you looked at the leaked pre alpha, you'd see that you couldn't see the base..

but that was only an old build.[HIV]Bacons i think.wonder how the leecher got bacon's.Well its bad textured.And also yoyorast says it was the V1.5

i doubt [HIV]Bacon would have leaked >.>

but yes, i know it's a early leak, hence i called it the leaked pre alpha <.<

and i think that that version was to demonstrate all the changes, not to have them nice and pretty, just to demonstrate the changes. and one of the changes is that tall rock, so i think that that will be like that in the final.

confirmation/denial yoyo?

WHAT DID YOU WANT THOSE VIDEOS FOR!!!
n00b out

It is an old Leak.Like on year old build or something.But no not bacon that leaked it.NEVER!

i don't think V2 has been in active development for a whole year >.>

more then a year it has been active.
