Mars BETA-Testing - Only available for 7 days!

Post by BF2-Master »

For a limited time until the release of the Solar System Map Pack, you can download Mars, and then play as much as you want! 1 Era, 1 Battle!

When the funding came to Count Dooku, who put through a plan he never told anyone about. He started a project known as project G.A.L.A.X.Y. which allowed the droids to teleport to galaxies far off. He sent the droids to the most unexplored region of space, where they came upon the dwarf planet Eris. Eventually they slowly continued to colonize the system. As they met the various natives, they arrived here on Mars, to send squads to the various nearby planets and moons. However, it isn't long before a squad of Clone Marines and Jet Troopers arrive to destroy them.

For info on the rest of the Solar System Pack go to:

To conclude what SS said, Put more work into the maps before even releasing them, this is only a 5 minute map.
  • Use a red texture for the ground
  • Don't just have flat terrain
  • Put stars into the sky
  • Fix the spelling ((wth is a Gernade? lol))
  • Put more objects into it
  • Put more overall detail in
  • Fix the sides up, their just no fun to play, only 2 units with only one playable from the start
  • Map is littered with bugs, glitches, and z-fighting.
  • Maybe theme the map around a crater?
  • Add more CPs in and move the original ones around
  • Spend more time on the map then by creating a quick 5 minute map

When you start playing this map, you will swiftly notice that there are only two playable troops on this map, the Jet Trooper and the CIS Rocket user. You HAVE to start out with the Rocket user, since you need 12 points to unlock the Jet Trooper. 'Alright', you think and spawn at one of the four CPs (No wait, two. You cannot play as the Republic, remember?).
The map is a large empty wasteland. If you strain your eyes really bad you can actually see some rocks in the distant horizon. Anyway, as you follow your instincts and head for the nearest enemy CP, you will see a bunch of Jet Troopers coming your way, all of them shooting at you with their rockets. That doesn't matter, since those things are too slow to hit you you can simply dodge out of the way. However, the same goes for them, seeing how you are armed with a Rocket Launcher and a normal blaster pistol. So as you advance on the enemy, nothing happens until the Jets pull out their own sideguns that are MUCH better than your pistol and tear your troops apart.

If you are persistent enough to actually kill 12 Jet Troopers with your tiny gun then you can choose to play as them, only to find out that it is basically the same thing. Just that now you can fly. Whoopie.

The only thing that isn't ground on this map is a very weird thing in the middle of the map. Upon closer inspection you will see that it is a Geonosis Hangar heavily massacred by the mod tools. The thing is filled with more bugs (The bad kind) than Episode II (The not good, but less worse kind). The floor is constantly flashing with something that looks like the last part of "Space Odyssey" shot entirely in the color brown, the Jets can fly up through the roof and disappear and there are wall glitches literally EVERYWHERE.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the next version of this map. GG!
That's gotta be the most hilarious map review I ever read, I literally had tears coming out of my eyes. :lol:
Can't wait for the final release! :wink:
