Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

what i'm currently streaming right now is the map. The other day I was designing parts that I may or may not end up using in this version.


Ah... I was assuming this was another one of the 20-odd copies of the map that I saw in your file browser.

And are you still using a modded canvas?

Nope. I got tired of moving walls around and I don't want to build a map that can't go into MM.

Final word.

This map (or the way I see this version heading) really reminds me of Kizingo Boulevard in the campaign. Intentional?

Probably.

Anything under 150 is an understatement.

The expanded 2 lanes design feels really good. Definitely gonna keep it over the 4 lane design.

Before it was only 4 blocks wide. Now that it's 5 it's easier for both infantry and vehicles to maneuver around. Then again, I've only built a portion where the sidewalks are extra large. IDK how it'll work with the normal sized sidewalk. Here's to hoping everything checks out.

My 5 hour shot has worn out and I'm starting to feel the sugar crash. One more hour and then I'm gonna call it a night.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

Cool. I'd like to play on that map if you want more testing peeps, goat. Bah I still need to update Reach though.

He won't let anyone join his forge session and he won't release a finished map until at least January 18th.

I can't forge with other people in the game because it messes up with the coordinate snap system.

The map will be finished either tonight or tomorrow and testing will follow right afterwards. You're welcome to watch the live stream and see how I build the city. It'll be on all day today and tomorrow.

I figured that the stream alone is all one needs to see at this point. I can recall a good portion of this rather large thread consisted of people assuming the original two concepts were the actual map.

Yeah. I guess that solves that problem for the rest of this thread.
