WAR-LostInSpace_Alpha17 (PC)

I know I said I wasn't going to do any more maps, but playing with you guys on Sundays has given me another wind.  I had this map pretty much in the state it's in now for a little while.  I had big plans for it originally.  Not anymore.  Now I just want to get it in a satisfactory, playable state so maybe we can enjoy it one of these days.

There are two link setups.  One is a classic, sensible link setup.  Dual prime, center choke: 2-1-2 link setup.  Orb spawner at cores and center node only.  One prime has two mantas and two scorps.  The other has a tank and a bender.  The core has a varied vehicle setup.

The other link setup is one node only - center node.  Each side has 11 tanks at the core.  The rest of the map is largely unused.  This is the spiritual successor to that tank battle map from 2k4.  The center node is tough to build by hand with all these tanks floating around.  There is an orb spawner at cores only.  "How do I run an orb with all these tanks floating around?" you ask?  Jump boots above core - dodge jump to the fan thingy in front of the core (actually a jump pad in disguise) - land on the SB spawn - jump boot to center.  You almost never touch the ground.

Forgive the bland look of the map - I don't know if I'm ever going to make it prettier.  I was going to originally, although I don't think I will anymore.  As long as it plays ;).

Haha, thanks Slippster!  I'm glad you enjoyed it.  That's exactly the map I made it after from 2k4 (not an exact remake, just a spiritual one).  Then I went, hmmmm, you know I could fit another link setup in here with normal vehicles too, hmmmmm.  Let me know if you see any bugs, or have an gameplay suggestions.  This map may only have 1 or 2 more iterations before I stop working on it.

Re: WAR-LostInSpace_Alpha17 (TankBattle)

hmm i think i played the default setup there was only one link in the middle but on the mini map i see more links, maybe i need to play the other link setup.

i cant think of anything to add, i like the side paths, around the edges, its a very sneaky way to flank the enemy!

i thought that was very cool, it keeps you on your toes for sniping.

ill definitely watch this thread for updates! again nice work bro! 2 thumbs way up!

Slippster

Have Fun!
