Im sure some people will like it but its just not my type of map (vehicle wars on a plain) . I do like how youv unwrecked the speederbikes and made them more like in SWBF1 tho

Post by **PR-0927** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 8:14 pm

Thanks you all!

EraOfDesann! Shoot, I completely forgot that you had tested this map too. But, yes, you version is COMPLETLY different.

Excelent map!

I love the fixed speeder bike! I actually think it's a better speeder bike than was in SWBF or SWBF2. All the texures were great.(decayed stuff etc.) And I thought you did a lot better than PANs Blan basic Geonosis. The dust effect was great to, I remember a more present dust effect like that from one of your SWBF1 maps. And the Transport turrent was very cool!

Only sugjestions:
Sometimes the pattern of the map texture can be seen repeated.
Its a shame there sin't a lowrez on the dome transports, sometimes they dissapeared.

Thanks for mentioning me in the Read Me. It was very nice of you! Sry you were not able to get the sound effects working, well have to work together some more on that!

Hmmm, okay, after playing it i have this to say

Pros:

* As soon as i started playing i got the feeling that it was geonosis and that there had been a massive war before
* The tipped over ATTE's are great fun to be in
* The terrian was awsomely done and made me feel like i was on geonosis
* The Commando's skin is awsome
* The DC-15s Side Arm Blaster is done really well

Cons:

* The map was to dark for me and was hard to see the rebels when playing as the Empire
* The Commando is overpowered. I was able to stand on the Rebels last CP and they could never get my sheild down
* Not sure if this is me or not, but all the new pr changed weapon/class/unit names weren't showing
* I got lost alot :p

Same here. Compared to the other Imperials, the commando looked kinda... fat.

Wow, the best original map I have played for BF2. I have a feeling that when the rise of the Empire was mentioned in A New Hope, this is what they imagined. This map provided constant entertainment. I got really into it and felt like I was actually there. The vehicles, atmosphere, and units all felt right. All pros and no cons here! I cant wait for the next map in this great series.

Majin, YOu could always add some cavern battles. That way you can choose between vehicular or soldier combat.

Also, the speed of the vehicles is rediculous. The way you did it I mean. Couldn't you turn down the max speed and then toy with the boost effects to make it so you can boost at the current max speed, nearly indefinetly? Its insane driving like that. Also, the AT-RT just doesn't feel as cool going that fast.

I also wonder if you could give a 'running' animation to a vehicle, so that when you get up to the max speed the strides get longer or something. The fast walking is . . .wierd. Looks like its out of a fantasy RPG.

Majin this is the best map ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is a really awesome map, but i think there needs to be a few more units on the battlefield at one time, i spend to much time walking some where to find some one to shoot, and i think there should be some more imperial tanks and speeder that spawn, and it might be cool if you can add a couple starfighters, but over all a great map!!

P.S. that kamakize starfighter thing is freaking awesome!, and i like how you put shields on the special units! good work!!

Great map, except...

* The whole sound issue obviously, but that's in your readme.
* The speeder bikes can outrun their own lasers... And I think they need a first-person view like in SWBF1 if possible. They are too hard to control from third.
* The commandos and bothans are WAY too overpowered. Their shields are almost invincible to other troops and the commando's weapons are insane.
* The AT-... I've lost track... The open top scout walkers look a bit stupid when they walk/sprint. Too fast.
