Comments and Feedback appreciated.

Enjoy!

I found the map visually stunning, but I didn't like the weapons setup.
Nice work altogether.

...wait, who told you that?

The weapon ur using I recognized as the "CDEF" rifle, a EXTREMELY NOT automatic rifle that was weak and used for civvie purposes.

Or u designated another name?

If not I can link u to a DLT-20 I kitbashed. U can also find the DLT-19 somewhere...(not done by me)




Weapons aside, ur map may need a reinforcement count reduction

Also at one post the eye refused to walk past some grass . It was a command post on a hill overlooking a bridge

I like this map mainly because of visual since the scenery is so stunning. You did a great work with making the island feel "tropical". Thanks for letting me beta test! I will surely download this once I get home.

Exactly, I made my own name I used ingame for it.

I realize whether you like the weapons is a matter of opinion, and I do like the weapons so they will remain on all my further maps (unless i decide for some reason to create new ones but they will most likely end up very similar if I do, I dislike low damage weapons and as a result the stock weapons). But to cater to both styles I have decided I will also include an era with the stock sides in all my further maps or if I ever get the motivation I will re-release this map with the stock sides in an extra era.

I like the map set up, but i agree with IndianaJoe, the weapons are not that good. You need some sort of, better set up. Also, why the tri-fighters if you cant get in them?

Decoration. Though it can be a bit deceiving, I'll agree on that.

Sorry for not reporting back my review, i had some work to do, though the map was very very good, though you know, the occasional floating objects, i would rate this map an 8/10, nice work!

Nice work bobfinkl! A few points (or opinions) I noticed:

- Like IndianaJoe and 501st_Commander, I wasn't too keen on the first two characters that you could play as. The weapons overheated quickly and were fairly inaccurate meaning you couldn't get too many kills per life; there was also a massive number of units charging up the pass towards you and this means you can't just pick off one at a time all too easy. It's more realistic though and it's quite unique, which I thought was nice.

- Ok, so you've got the pretty weak soldier classes and then you've also got the strong 3rd (and for the droids 4th too) class which is kinda a bit too powerful against the weaker classes, you could kind of equal it out a bit. With the droid sniper you can stand on a far away and snipe endlessly until your ammo runs out. The clones could do with something to counteract this.

- The auto-turrets might be a bit too powerful, I dunno. I thought there were a few too many around the place. It was a nice idea though.

- Finally - and this is really picky - I think that your animated sea (around the outside of the map) moves to fast. It looks rather strange going at breakneck (exaggeration) speeds towards the bay

I think Mav might have mentioned some of these in his review, but they were what I found. All in all it was a beautiful map and it was very fun to play!

First of let me say that, overall, I was very impressed with the map. The entire setting was excellent, and you pulled off a stunning visual experience. This map is one of the most striking I have ever seen.

What I liked:
*The setting
*The animated props (or self piloted vehicles?)
*The map layout. In terms of bot movement and paths, this was excellent
*I liked your sides , and I can see why you wanted to include them

What I thought could be improved:
*Like you mentioned, your sides on a different era
*Vehicles. The map seemed too big to not include them
*Bit of buggy planing near that one cp with the Yavin Wall props
*Flyers? Maybe, they could work for the map.
*Like sampip said, the turrets felt too powerful

Overall: An excellent map, you've done it again, great job

Could you by any chance get me pictures of the floating objects?

-The first two characters have more accurate weapons than the 3rd, and the republics 4th. Also I found myself capable of getting at least 30 kills per life as any of the classes.

-Ammo? The only weapon with ammo was the DLT-9 and that was the Rebel's support gun. And the sniper rifle bullet actually goes the same distance as the Semi-Automatic Rifle's bullet, the only differences between the weapons are the sniper fires at a longer distance is more accurate and more powerful but at the expense of fire rate and overheat rate.

-The Auto Turrets, they were easily disabled by either assaulting (taking a long time also) or sneaking into (can be done very quickly) the tunnel complex closest to the waterfall.

-That happened due to the way the water was made to move, it's just a rotating square really the outer parts of the square move very fast since it's at such a huge distance, there is no way to counteract this unless I made the closer more visible water move incredibly slow.

-Yep the sides on a different era will be included at the next release, as I've decided to re-release this map along with my sequel to it (on the same planet, but very different environment)

-Vehicles would've taken me another few months to create, and I have experienced many annoying bugs with this map that I just wanted to get it done-with.

-Could you take a picture of the minimap and circle the cp you are talking about?

-Same case as all other vehicles, and those auto turrets are really AA guns, it would make no sense to use fliers, nor do I think adding fliers to a ground map is ever a good idea as I've never seen it work well.

-The turrets are easily disabled, but I suppose I will make them weaker in one way or another for the next version.


Thanks for the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it .

Credit killst4r please. His palm trees.

Blimey. You're pretty good then! I'm a bit hopeless, I just thought they were weak compared to the other classes.

there at least needs to be a unit with nooby mines and more grenades...
