I swear this will be the last time that I'm visiting this map idea/concept. Hey, guys. So this map is loosely (I'd say 20-40%) based on the Death Watch bunker from Star Wars Galaxies, which I haven't played at all. The remaining percentage is based on a few other Star Wars games. The targeted audience is, then, I'm hoping everyone. Here's some more information on it: The premise of the featured campaign mission follows exactly what the bolded sections above say. Mostly everything else is an homage to the greatest Star Wars first-person shooters of the 1990s (mainly Shadows of the Empire and Dark Forces). I'm in the process of touching up the main character model that you get to play as, so I can't reveal him yet, but I did toss in a clue along with the screenshots below.

Other game modes include:

• Conquest: Imperials versus Death Watch
• Team Deathmatch: Imperial Scout Troopers versus B1 Security Droids (essentially a "sniper war")
• Hunt: Death Watch Wraiths versus Ewok Slave Miners (all of these units have melee weapons)

All sides/units are custom, and the only available era for this imminent release is GCW, but I think THEWULFMAN will add support for his TCW mod so that his Death Watch units can have another location to fight at.

Here are some screenshots: My beta testers are:

• DarthD.U.C.K.
• Lagomorphia
• Lephenix
• RevanSithLord
• THEWULFMAN

My remaining to-do list:

• Finish the aforementioned player model
• Get the collision fixed for a few props
• Fix or change the minor things I've missed or decided differently on

Thanks for viewing. I'll post updates if I have any.

OOH!!! Yay! Looks awesome as usual AQT!

WOW this can become an epic map keep on this idea

Is there still a chance that I could beta?

I feel like I've seen this before... What's different this time?

Its been baked in awesome sauce.
And its got stuff I cant talk about. Well, I could talk about it, but then I would have to put a curse on the post so that anyone who read it would die in 7 days, unless they quoted me, then they would live.

The map looks very good AQT. Also, the Imperial Commando premise looks awesome...

Hidden/Spoiler:

Bonus points to whomever figures out what I am spoofing in my above paragraph.

I give up.

looks awesome like usual just like the last one , i love the planet endor in the sky :O looks awesome

Love it.

Looks almost like a stock map. The environment is really well-done.

It is much better than a stock map, and it is excellent, i am lucky (i tested it) .

Thanks, guys. @modmaster13: Thanks for your offer, but I think I got all the feedback I need.

Nothing really; I just felt like posting another "WIP" thread for what-the-hey fun.

Remember, an "Imperial Commando" can be any type of commando of the Empire.

Looks like a lovely map AQT. Definately love the looks of it. I'm looking forward to playing it!

No, they are just props.

AQT, thank you SOOOOO much for being one of the only people who actually add environmental ambient sound streams!!! Seriously, I don't even recall hearing any environmental ambiance in Mav's Death Star II: Emperor's Throne Room map! It just adds such a tone to a map that cannot be described.

Not to digress, but there wasn't any there on purpose, because the ambiance there was about the music. Outside maps (like this one) or maps with a lot happening in the scenery lend themselves well to ambient streams, but the lack of sound can be used too to create a sparse effect - to paraphrase Debussy, ambiance is the space in between the sounds.

@ShadowWing: THEWULFMAN's right.

@Marth8880: Now, now. While I do appreciate your comment, to Mav's defense, almost all of the maps featured in Dark Times II had ambient environment sounds and per the randomized environments.

Yeah, you're right. That makes sense. Still though, even with maps that should have it and are meant to have it, they don't have it.

And here's a screenshot of the first popup message from the Campaign mode (special thanks to RevanSithLord for writing a good portion of the dialogue used): So Captain Archer, the noncanonical character you play as, is a Storm Commando. agentsmith38 had kindly fixed the collision for the few props I needed (special thanks to him), so all that is left to do is to finish the Storm Commando player model, which THEWULFMAN is helping me with. Then it is off to the release.
