Geonosian Attack Mappack

Okay, this is my third map released on Filefront. It is JUST out of being a beta so it's not that great. It contains 2 maps. One on Coruscant and one on Geonosis. So heres the story. On Geonosis a new weapon is being developed, the CIS decide to use it one the Geonosian planet. Apparently it froze everything making the planet uninhabitable for a while. The Geonosians go to Count Dooku. He tells them the Republic did it and they want to destroy them. So some troopers are sent to Geonosis to find out why it turned blue. Unfortunately they sent the troops defending the jedi temple on Coruscant. While the troopers are fighting the CIS the Geonosians decide to attack Coruscant. When whats left of the troopers come back to Coruscant, they find that the temple has been ransacked by Geonosians. Unfortunately, the CIS show up to defend the Geonosians. So there is a second fight.

Please rate 10 star
So "10 star" means "not that great?" We have enough people that abuse/misuse the rating system, thanks.

That's possibly the most confusing, random story that was meant to make sense I've read since year 5.

And what's the point of putting up a rating poll then asking everyone to vote ten? It's not worth ten. Practically nothing is.

Well, to be truthful, the maps are just basically the same Coruscant and Geonosis maps with a slight modification to them. Really the only thing I did like is the Republic Trooper in the Geonosis map.

I'll be optimistic and say great job for a first map. I mean yah, it's a first map and a beta so you can't expect too much from it. You might just wnat to change the story a bit though. :?
For an early mapping carear pretty pair i'd say it's decent. :)

Since you quite obviously gave it a ten it doesn't deserve, I think this is called for:

Take a look at some of the files on SWBF Files that have scores above 9 (user rating or reviewer rating) eg 607th
Map Pack, Aquilaris, Coruscant Streets.

Do you think your so called 'mappack' is in the same league as them in any way? Honestly?

First of all Id like to say that I havent rated your mappack cause I didnt played it.
Honestly Ive never seen such low ratings for a map.
Reasons are:
- putting very little effort into something and then release it (you said it yourself on SWBFII),
- and then demand that people give it a rating of 10 (oh... wait... was it actually a joke?).

However Ive seen the screenshots and found geonosis textures interesting.
So I suggest you to make YOUR OWN map set on some dark moon with dark blue sky and blue and grey ground textures, then custom sides or just skins fitting the atmosphere and you'll get definately better ratings.

So dont be lazy if you want to do something good, and if you think you dont have enough time to do it good, dont do it at all.

Not meaning to sound mean, but come on. Give him credit for trying. Have you ever made a map, I didn't think so. :|

@ vegiti i have to be honest here the map isn't that great...and it's a little pompous to say everyone vote 10...now it was a good idea..an iced over geonosis is a very good idea actually...and from some of the pics on ff if the execution was better it would have made for a good map what you need is a good skin or two and maybe search around here on gt for some tutorials on how to do some stuff for now i would try and mimic the maps pandemic has...also you don't have to release every map you make...there are like sorta "first draft maps" that i've never realeased...however if i like the map i sorta try and tweak it and make it look like the shipped maps not look like "look" wise but sorta feel and play wise. After that then you can go in and edit sides and then get beta testers...you're always gonna think highly of your work and others can be very critical and you'll be able to see what to fix...with time and paitience and i stress these 2 very highly you could make a very good map

Now it was an ok map and i liked the skins, but it was a bit....un original. ok first posted map, more like a skin change than a brand new map.

I'm going to tone down Geonosis in an update if there is one.
