Wow, that looks nice! I'll admit that I haven't been playing Battlefront lately, though I might fire the game up just to play this map.

In what way is the gameplay different?

It feels more like Speck o' Dust's and Yankfan's maps.

It is? I've never had the chance to play a_speck_of_dust's maps, but I have played YaNkFaN's and have found that the gameplay I make for my maps to be the polar opposite of his, he lowers the damage for his weapons and demands more singular one-on-one combat at closer quarters while I increase damage demand more seperated combat where you don't focus on one individual enemy as much and at longer distances.

And to more thoroughly answer his question, what I said in my PM's to the beta testers:

I've played through the map a couple of times and couldn't find much in the way of bugs so I think your good to go.

Yeah, same here. What I found has already been reported, so other then that, I think some tanks are needed for the attackers to counter the placed turrets the defenders have.

There's a way to disable the AA guns by destroying a console in the hangar.

Or by having a handy grenade and throwing it at them.

Well, what reminded me of Speck's maps was that you couldn't "run n' gun" through the map, capturing command posts all the while. Your weapons would overheat quickly, or burn through your ammo, your shots would be inaccurate while running, and you'd be gunned down in a heartbeat. You had to get behind some cover, take good aim, shoot, and then advance to the next line of cover. Pharosis and Pestox were good examples. Your right though, Yankfan's maps tend to be more close-quarter-combat.

One last thing: while this map is large, it isn't empty by any means. If your not directly fighting someone, you can see a battle taking place nearby. And you shouldn't be sightseeing, because odds are your going to run into some enemies any minute.

Thus sounds like quite the map. Can't wait for a release!

You mean one must go through never ending waves of killer AI?

Of course, there would be no challenge otherwise.

wow that is a paradise

Yes, charging into a wave of killer AI is a paradise, you nutcase.

Or sneak in with the commando unit, there is a reason for that unit you know, or simply throw a grenade at the mob.

Update time:
The release has been delayed due to some weapons models I am using having been found to been converted, released, and used without permission, so I am now looking for replacements for those weapons which could take some time. But on a better note I have updated a few things: A few side notes on what was done, the water it looks worse in a picture the model is transparent now and it doesn't show up in that picture because you can only really see it when the water is moving (there is a model underneath that moves at a different rate, although if anyone has a better texture for the water please say so I really could use a better texture). And the background hills, on a second look I found they weren't using the ground texture I was using it was using an outdated ground texture I had (and besides that it has been made far more high-rez).

Comments and criticism appreciated.

New textures look much better, specially on the mountains in the background. Nice job.

Oh, and I would recommend removing the icicles hanging from the ceiling of the hangar, if possible.

I would suggest replacing the current chain gun with a more reasonable model, like one of the under hand ones. Also, did you put in some tanks for the attackers? I wouldn't suggest putting in some of the command walkers since they move very slowly, and would be easy targets for the turrets. Other then that nice update!

nice update Bobfinkl the new water looks good
oh and did you fox the area under the map?
