Two awesome behind the scenes articles in two days!

Keep it up Urk!

Now it's my turn to interject. This seems to be a common theme. Are all our maps based on Hang 'Em High?

"Oh, yeah," Carney says. Cotton agrees.

"We start with Hang 'Em High every time."

"That's what 'mass out' really means import Hang 'Em High!"

"How could Hang 'Em High become a valley?"

"Start with Hang 'Em High, cut it in half"

"What if we floated Hang 'Em High in the sky above Hang 'Em High?"


"Flip it over and it's Construct!"

Carney is the first to flinch.


Easily the funniest part of the article. Everybody in the study room I was in started staring at me as I laughed.

Awesome! :)

The first image reminds me of the Mirror's Edge training facility

Nice write up! I can just envision in my mind's eye Carney getting up out of his chair and strafing around the office while West Side Story snapping all along.

@Helveck

Just an Average Joe...

Awesome article. I've never been much a fan of The Pit, just kind of got used to it and warmed up to it a bit I suppose...

But I do have to say, I'm definitely a fan of the gray/blue color scheme more so than what we have now. :P

"Wake me...when you need me."

Who doesn't love some Hang 'em High?

  • 05.27.2010 10:32 AM PDT

Good work, keep it coming.

  • 05.27.2010 10:33 AM PDT

Very nice! I love these behind the scene articles.

  • 05.27.2010 10:35 AM PDT

"Seems to me you should spend less time on that article and more time working on that novel you've been working on!!!"

Nice story. Ya what's up with those chain-link fences, what happened to them over 500 years time????

*twirls mustache* Curious... Curious gorge.

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

urk, do more of these. These post-mortems on maps are goddammed incredible, better than the BWUs and only less than Bungie Podcats.

They're really fun to do. Plenty more planned (as time allows, of course.)

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Cool, I was hoping you'd do a write-up on The Pit, and I knew it would be awesome!

  • 05.27.2010 11:12 AM PDT

It's really cool to see how these spaces progressed throughout the dev cycle. Glad to see them again, and I loved how the pit turned out!

Same here. Reading this and seeing that first image really makes me want to model this map like that, maybe adding some catwalks to the top.

Anybody want a peanut?

Funny how one of the most well-balanced multiplayer maps of all-time came out of a bunch of ideas that didn't pan out. Keep these interviews up, Urk!

  • 05.27.2010 11:45 AM PDT

!

Wow, that's a really cool article.

Looking forward to see more of these.
Keep it up, urk! :)

Hey, there's cameras in Sword Base... and a control room...
