I guess I will then heheh..

:vader2: Anyone want to be a Beta tester? I'll take 5 people...

I'll have to weed out some people if I get more than 5 applications though.... if you apply, be willing to play the map several times, from all sides, and PM me a brief (or long) review. Don't expect me to jump and listen to your suggested changes; I'll definitely consider your suggestions though. What I'm mostly concerned about is the balance.. I want to make sure it's not only balanced for me.

PM me if you want to apply to be a Beta tester!

I still don't have a set Beta release date either, but it'll be soon..
UPDATE: The time to apply to be a beta tester has now ended.

Looks cool, too bad you can't paint the clone trooper's visor red.

YES. It is accurate down to those little bumps in the sides of the two long bridges that connect the terrain to the structures in the center of the map.

:atatpilot: Map Setup

-CPs 2,4,5, and 7 is the city.
-CP1 is the starting point of the CIS/Rebels.
-CP6 (which is in an underground command station) is the starting point of the Republic and Empire.
-CP3 is an up-for-grabs territory in a valley. When spawning there, players spawn in that small underground structure directly to the bottom right of it.
-CP0 is a CP that gives the Republic and Empire vehicles to assault the city with.

:stormie: Strategy

-Capturing the City (CPs 2,4,5 and 7) is one objective that may lead to victory, depending on how many troops the other team has. If one team captures the city, the battle becomes a siege.

-Capturing Every command post outside of the City will also lead to victory if your team has more reinforcements at the time of capture.

-This map is very dynamic. CPs get swapped rather often compared to many maps out there.


:clone: Tactics

-When defending the city, sniping is a good choice

-When attacking the city, hiding behind rubble and shooting from that concealed position is the best way to go. When the coast is clear, run into a building and take a CP.

-DON'T go in aggressively shooting and expect to live very long.

Already noted, as your other maps went by the same principle. :wink:

Interesting CP capture setup you have. I like the idea.

Unless of course you have the "infinite health" cheat. :)

Thanks guys, but I'd also credit the map design to ic3_d3linqu3nt, since he was the original creator of this kind of cp setup.

I always did like the idea of guarding or laying siege to a city. :P Looks like it'll be fun! 8)

:jango: Beta testing application is now closed. If I replied to your PM, you're going to receive the beta download link. I've got a lot of work to do – work unrelated to modding; it may be another few days before you'll be testing. Thank you all who applied! :thumbs:
