Re: Virmund: City (Betaing is in progress and closed)
K, My Review:
Pros:
Excellently constructed map, immersive, realistic setting, feels like a place rather than a map. Interesting layout, simple but made interesting through the many props and scenery (and the 'walls' aka buildings).
Skins for clones very good, both sides feel similar to the default sides while still feeling original due to appearance changes and weapon setups. Nice laser effects too.
Particle ffects don't seem to vanish despite big numbers of troops.
No lag for me - first for one of your/speck's maps.
Cons:
A few glitches (will PM you) and a coupla floating items (coupla droids next to one of the higher cps).
Seems imbalanced - played through three times, every time CIS lost by about 70-80 reinforcements.
Gameplay can get a bit repetitive - same thing happened each time (same CPs captured, same result and final bit).
Harbour part of map basically unused, as is very top level. empty for most of each match.
Some problems:
Localisations: eg Clone Commander's rifle is called 'EMP Launcher'
EMP grenade effect: you might like it, I dunno, but personally I find it annoying that the nade just vanishes and blue glow fades. I've got 4-5 custom EMP effects if you'd like one, and theres another EMP nade effect in the common effects folder.
Overall well constructed, very proffesional feeling map.

Re: Virmund: City (Betaing is in progress and closed)
ill get my full review in soon (just played it). the major con i noticed was naboo's stock models having terrible collision lol. it sorta defeats the purpose when you walk through the wall of a staircase to fall to the bottom lol.

Re: Virmund: City (Betaing is in progress and closed)
I've already PMed you with my thoughts. The map was MUCH laggy for me. VERY VERY VERY. I always ran the game in high settings and i have a Pentium 4 (3,0GHz), 2Gb RAM, and ATI Radeon 512Mb...very strange...

Re: Virmund: City (Betaing is in progress and closed)
another random point-change the texture the water is on top of. ive been experimenting with my own maps and find that not many textures look good underwater
i would suggest either the kash sand one or maybe a new one

I'll try to get you my feedback as fast as possible, but do you mind if I just PM it o you instead of e-mail? I forgot my e-mail address's pass, and aol.com takes too long to load for me anyways for some reason.

I can't write a full review now, but to avoid the linear continuous battle sequence, possibly make some stairs in the middle of each stretch in an alleyway or stairs or what-not.

THe map is AWESOME, but with a few things:
-I was flying with the Clone Officer, them i wanted to fly over some building, but they don't let me pass(was in the middle of the map)
-I've noticed the Clone Officer's jetpack gas looks like blood. A nice effect but not in the right place.
BTW, AWESOME map.
