Could I Beta Test Elmo?

The Force will hopefully guide you to get past those problems in assault mode.

As to the LAATs: I guess it would be best to have one hovering above the battlefield so you can perfectly lay down surpressing fire, and another one as a destructible CP behind the CIS lines, as a "pain-in-the-Diet Dr. Pepper" for the Droid forces who have to fight on two fronts.
So everybody can enjoy what he likes most about the LAAT: Its firepower, and its function as a CP.
Your screen is really great: I think you have done what Pandemic couldn't: catch the dark atmosphere of MyGhetto.

Darn, LoL. Bly beat me to it. I would have loved to beta test this map, it looks really neat.
About the LAAT/i's, I recommend that you animate a few like the ones in the shipped Mygeeto campaign mode, where they fly around a strict path while the pilottype = "self" function attacks it's enemies with the LAAT's numerous weapons. And if you are any good at scripting, you could have an LAAT/i fly in whenever you capture a particular CP, which would explain more logically where all the units are coming from, instead of just thin air. It'd look really cool to have LAAT/i's flying everywhere without them crashing into walls.

Well Im not good at Beta Testing....If you want, you can have my spot.

But how would you get better if you handed over the spot?

Nah, keep the place and if Elmo decides to open up another spot I'll be onto him quicker than he can say erm... a syllable. LoL.

alright, Bly can have the spot.

Rekubot, I'll think about you later

I love your gunship anims ideas, but i have no knowledge in scripting. I've been able to get some gunships flying around in the sky, but that's pretty much about it.

i was the first to ask for beta testing. I usualy look for bugs and i usualy dont beg like...a chicken in a slaughterhouse? I was already going to beta test a map,but i wonder if it even exists.

Maybe you did ask first, but i wasn't offering test spots at that time.
Ok, I've had lots of Crashing and freezing problems, So i sent the map to Schizo to look at. He's pretty much fixed it up.

I'd say the map is about 75 - 80% done

yay, the awesomeness is soon to hatch!
@Topic: I think the title for the map should be Mygeeto: Urban Invasion

Well, I though Elmo had already decided on a name, but he's the master, so can change it at will. I like the idea of having some thing with "urban", but "invasion" simply doesn't sound right. The battle has already begun when you're spawing, there's nothing worth to be invaded. So I'd prefer something like "Urban Encounter", or "Urban Shootout", anything with "Urban" as a prefix.
And there's another problem: If the republic has LAATs, what is going to be their CIS counterparts? I wouldn't like to Droid Gunships, since they don't appeared in the movie, so some AA-turrets could do the job.

I have become the only thing i swore to destroy!Glitchers!
*Breath*
Darth haxer?
Yes,my master.
Glitch![TOTALY OFF TOPIC]
[on topic]Oh yeah,and the droid gunship can be seen on kashyyk in the movie.
Ps why dont you take out the black border in the loading screen? I dont like those.

See? Why do you do pointless spam like that!
Anyway, I think that Mygeeto: Bridge Raid is fine
Personally I don't think there should be any fighters in the map at all since they weren't in the movie (on
Mygeeto). It would make it look totally unrealistic

NO flyers on the map. This is strictly an infantry/tank battle. Schizo got some working animations of gunships flying around low, and landing.

And I'm adding CTF mode, with speeders, although they were never on Mygeeto

So no rain of death from the skies? No blaster fire from the LAATs? What a pity...but maybe that's necessary to keep the balance. Right, do you think the amount of distracted rockets fired on the LAATs instead of the republic Tanks will give the GAR an advantage?
And what about Ki-Adi-Mundi...he actually was on MyGhetto, so would best include, but Grievous (his opponent on the default map) shouldn't be included, since he was dead by this time. No other CIS were present on MyGhetto at all, and the locals species has never been seen...so what to do?

1. Throw Grievous in as backup (we technically never knew how long the Battle of Mygeeto went for, so it's possible Grievous made a trip before Coruscant's invasion).
2. Jango Fett.
