Capture the Flag Other Foggy Bots Client Side Custom Textures Custom Shapes Night

Well,here it is! a map I've been working on for many many months,given up on,redesigned,and destroyed many many times.In the past I usually rely on good old Uncle Bob to take care of the terrain work; but not this time.He accually had a nervous breakdown trying to do the terrain,and in the end he said "Your doin' it yourself you picky @#@**#!!".
Anyway there is tons of custom buildings,new skies,and some kick a55 BOT support.I think your really going to enjoy the main base,I spent a few months alone on it.Over all this map has a good feel and it's a LOT of fun ,well It's Heavy download and may take a bit longer than normal to load(lighting).
Ok,I'm on netzero again.....so I cant waste too much time getting "lippy"(accually I just thought I should have wrote this earlier and copied it from notepad..D#@#\%$ it).so let me know what everyone thinks of this baby.

This map is fantastic. This is definitely one of the best maps ever made IMO. The interiors are awesome. Love the road texture. The overall ambience of this map sets it apart from most. The little things were not left out either. Look, sound, and playability come together on this map to make it one of the best I have ever seen. I hope you plan on making more maps!

WOW! I thought this map was vgca. I really like your main base, I could see why it took you so long. I also love the road texture, for the ground. BTW, what does IMO mean?

FPS is ok due to the massive haze and fog used wich serves to gloomify the whole map. The bases are poorly lit inside and a tad too large imo. But this seems to be every map in Tribes 2, very few are lit properly :(

But I think your capable of great work so instead of an F you deserve a C at least. I know you can do something amazing.

OH MY GOD! this map awsome! No way should someone give it a C. Cities get foggy to sometimes. You dont need to have the VD up so high just to see everything. And I found the lighting of the bases fine. Maybe your Gamma is set lower? I hope your grade was not part of the lighting, That is unfair! But I will not go into reasons for that. I want to say that this map is fun with the fog. It's at night to for Gods sake, maybe a new WORLD? Anyway. I have no problem with it, SAW no problems. Smooth on my system, the BOTS are perfect and I never saw any get suck in corners. Love he little Drop Ship to you made. Great worldcraft work! Keep it up! Hope to see more!

That's cool I'm happy to see honesty,this map is hell on the FPS .I tend to go overboard with details when im doing something I'm really into.I learned alot about WC and bot support on this.We'll now that it's done and out,I going to dedicate my time to ShrikeWorld track 2 ,so Uncle Bob,I hope your ready for a terrain challenge..

AWSOME! I do have to grade you on this. This work is indeed a sight to behold. Did not realy realize you did the WHOLE thing over untill I played it. SW2 here I come!

Custom shapes..download Worldcraft 3.3 ,I think is the latest,and the Tribes2 tools,slap it together,bad-a-bing you get to create your own bases!!(by the way anyone have the new textures in a .wad file??contact me.)

Instead of a F, I'm going to put a A+
Cause I LOVE the fog...and the bases were not BADLY lite....Works fine for me. Love the textures and the sky is awsome. FPS was good for me. Keep it up!

Wow. Very, very good map. I love the buildings. Great architecture (I love the detailing). The lighting is also good. Though I think the emergency lighting is a bit bright. I love the other city buildings. I think you should remove one ELF turret from the flag. The FPS stay high, but you should look into some optimizations for the buildings. And the traffic lights good use alot of work. The balance between offense and defense seems pretty good (except for those 2 ELF turrets which I think is a bit much). The spread of the base means that the number of turrets aren't as much of a problem. Plus the smaller size, open rear and midfield spots for dep. inv. help to balance against the turrets. This is the next leap in city building.

Holey sh*t.... This is probably the best looking 'city-esque' map I've ever laid eyes on in T2... On top of that it seems to have a ton of atmosphere from the screenshots... Once I get T2 reinstalled (new OS installed for Iczer! Soon he'll be active again!) I'll test this mammoth out myself ;)

Niiiiiice!!!I only gave it a B+ cause the Heightfield file got lost.(the buildings are spectacular,tho!!)gonna re-download and re-grade later
PS: definitely a keeper!!

Talyn_Sun....you will never see a heightfield file for this map...it was made from the new 87mb patch/editor, it's been out over a month now.=)

this is the best city map. Nice roads,
buildings you can go into. Lighting is good for me. Bot are bada$$ to!
Great work!

This map is amazing, the bot support is Very good, the design is superb, and I love the amount of detail in this map, from the streetlights to the skyline, hell, theres even a half-pipe for wildcats.
I found myself hopping from streetlight to buildings, and little platforms everywhere, hell I dont think I could count how many times I bounced about like spiderman onto a building or platform, but I'm shure I used nearly every one of them.
The bases are a little complicated, it takes a few runs to get everything down, but if you are infiltrating a base, it really captures a Covert op feel, theres even a weapons cache near the ground floor, I found it very useful when I was in the enemy base, using the area to pick up a inv station and drop it in a nearby room, running back to it for more satchel charges.
This map definately deserves a download.

Great bots, great atmosphere... and the interiors rock. Keep at it! I'd suggest, though, that you consider flag placement a bit more... if it was higher up, I'm sure everything would seem more interesting ;). Also Framerate takes a hit with this map, esspecially in the main bases.

One of the mapping elite comes up with another smash hit. I loved this map, and, unlike some maps, the bots are actually worth playing with! This map deserves an award.
