CavernTan 07-08-2004 05:58 PM MDT   It's not hard to take out the music... just delete it from the music directory and you'll have silence... Hmm, it seems like you can't post more than one comment here, so here's an edit: Thanks for the support, everyone. Hopefully you'll put it on your servers. |VIPER|_N][G|-|T//@R3 07-05-2004 03:59 PM MDT Rating: 10   WOW!!! WOW!!! ^-^ you have made a absolutely amazing map great layout keep up the good work!!

Nice vehicle distribution with more of the smaller faster vehicles available which means that getting around quickly isn't a problem. This also means that the heavy vehicles like the Goliaths are at a premium, which is a good thing on an open map such as this one. One Leviathan is always good as it adds a real incentive to get that node even though it isnt vital to get to the core. The Leviathan can really swing the balance in the outcome of this map, much like it does on Severance. I've only played it offline but the bots seemed to do ok and know where to go and what to do and not get stuck. I can definitely see this map getting used in ONS leagues in the future. I think with 2 organised teams the battle would be extremely intense and closely fought as the tactical options on this map are plentiful. It seems to have been tested well as I can't see any glaring problems, but if I do i'll drop you a line :) Nice work m8, I look forward to seeing your next map. Been playing this some more and the extra features that i've discovered mean that this map is just in a league of it's own among the custom maps i've seen. (and i've seen a few) Excellent work. Cheers, Appo NozzeM 07-10-2004 02:17 PM MDT Rating: 5   Very average map imo. Reasons: - terrain is nothing but little hills all over the place which makes it impossible to really tell where you are except for looking at the radar. - only 1 terrain texture, no blending at all. - the little oasis thing sure is little, the water is yelloo. - invisible walls, no natural boundry, you just crash into the map's ending. - quite bad fps for such a bland map. - indoor architecture is really boring as well. - bland, there isn't any decoration at all. - horrible music, i just deleted it again. - no z-axis. - no ambient sounds. As a first map it's quite ok, i've seen WAY worse first maps but it's definally not a good map. This is just my opinion so don't flame me (hides). Manticore 07-23-2004 04:10 AM MDT Rating: 8.5   Have to disagree with NozzeM. This is Onslaught at it's best. Large-scale and hectic..... kingmango 07-23-2004 04:45 PM MDT Rating: 7.5   Haven't fully explored the map yet, but I've played it online a few times and really seem to enjoy it, but a long range weapon at each node would really help since they can all be attacked from so far away. I found myself a couple of times without something to reach out and touch guys on the tops of dunes. A mini, shock or sniper added to each of the weapons lockers would go a long way. Also I was pissed off about no warning for the ion blast. So that takes a little bit off the score. I like the speed movers underneath the level and might even like to see some more connecting horizontally across the map. sandorski 07-24-2004 12:24 AM MDT Rating: 7.5   Pretty good, but IMO there are too many Nodes and some of them have too long a site in which to fire Turrets. Overall though, I think this map is Good.
