RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Don't count your chickens yet Goat. They could easily just ignore the Invasion fans.

That's true, but Invasion has been high in demand for a while and they just updated Infection with new maps. It's possible that we could be next.

I'm going through old designs at the moment trying to find some of my wider phase concepts. So far I'm on piece-of-copy-paper number 300.

And yea, the stream isn't the most interesting thing in the world until I start building. Again.

make sure to put a kill ball some where they look coll and can be used as a sun


In earlier designs, I had a kill ball destroy vehicles that spawned behind the players as they fell from the air, making it seem like they were dropping into the city like ODST. It had to be cut though cause kill balls cause framerate issues :/

UPDATE: hop onto the stream if you want to see my first near-complete concept of phase 1. Yes, it's still a concept because I'm debating whether or not it is the right design for the map. We shall see once it's finished being built.

I want my elephant back.
Give it to me now!
(Please?)

Me.

lol

It looks pretty darn cool though.

Yes it does, but it pains me to say that it has been scrapped. It isn't wide enough and the lines of sight are really bad.

Back to the drawing board once again. The perfect design is in there somewhere. Just need to find it.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

I'm looking at the live stream and nothing is happening D:

several people have said that it's not working correctly

I'm going to find another site instead.

The stream should be working by now. I was just in the strangest custom game...

You mentioned above that a map can be built outside FW.. Can I get a link to one that has the kill zone broken like that?

yea there's a skybox you can build in and it doesn't have any changes in lighting. It actually makes objects brighter too.

I don't have a link, nor do I know how to do the teleporter glitch to get up there :/

I'm sure it's on youtube somewhere. If you save my version of the map though it'll have me as the original creator, so I don't think you wanna do that either.

Ok, I'll look into it a little bit.

  • 01.20.2012 9:38 PM PDT

Check out the map in my fileshare goat. Its called UB4. Its on Tempest. Maybe the natural terrain of Tempest would blend better with ODST? There's an FX that makes the grey pieces look silver too IIRC.

Tempest has less budget, which would make it more difficult to build. Also, territories are glitched on tempest.

Dang that sounds cool


It was ridiculously awesome, but many players wont like taking damage off of spawn regardless of the effect it's supposed to convey. So I have to spawn players on the street instead :/

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

Is it just me, or do the AI have homing rockets during the roof battle in NMPD HQ?
