A 'little' something I've been slaving away at..


A scale reproduction of the original Battle Drone map..

Slightly smaller than the current Map we're using... and, as you can see, a very faithful reproduction of the original.


Spaces are tighter / smaller - tunnles have less width, open areas are also more compact, some areas have

structures that have had to be omitted to make them fit better... but for the most part everything is there.


Of course - the coords don't quite line up the farther out from center you get (map is centered on usable area - not based on 'coords'..) so for instance, J12 is actually between J11/J12 on this map... as you get to the corners of course... obviously what we know as A1 isn't at A1..

 

Anywho - look it over, let me know what ya think... changes / suggestions... etc...

I'm not big on LVZ or graphics, so if someone has or wants to contribute art, that'd be cool..

 



 

Also - I'm not worried about the 'in zone leader board' to be quite honest... so I won't be editing the map to include that.. because it really breaks the feel of the map.


I have done some limited flight testing on this... it's pretty uncanny feeling - can almost fly it by memory in most places, of course some of the restructured areas will take some practice..


Oh, almost forgot, this map is about a square coord box smaller all the way around compared to the current Map, just to give you an idea of it's scale..


Enjoy!


 

watch it till the end, hahaha

<div>Assassins did defeat Port Llast last weekend, or were about to, when the bots became self-aware and started their own agenda. It'll most likely be set to 12-1 and !refended at some point, causing some loss of K/D on the players. Along with + or - rating.</div>

anyone else having trouble logging in today?? =o

When the entire 4v4 population is gathered in one arena and it has been that way since people started logging in for the day... it doesn't matter if it's a squad arena ... it is still essentially the main prac arena.

 

So stop forcecap'ing it away from people that have waited in a 11 person line and go form a new squad arena.

 

We all know that you're that jerk that sits in traffic in the morning on a two lane road that merges in to one, jumps into the empty lane that merges, accelerates quickly to the end, and forces their way in while inconveniencing everyone that has been waiting properly in line for 15 minutes.

 

I expect more from such a small population of people that have been playing for years.

I don't know if this has ever been tried but, i think there would be some benefits:

 

1. Variety

2. Fun

3. Bring back players that don't have much interest in 4v4

4. Better use of rosters

5. More people on rosters getting playing time.

6. Better idea of skill

 

My idea is that you could have an overall winner of league and then individual champions for each type of game.

 

I think this is doable for rosters of 7+.

 

My thoughts were that after the 4v4 rounds on Sunday you would follow it up with CTF one weekend, powerball the next, then turf after that.  Or maybe nobody is all that interested in turf and you just keep cycling CTF  and PowerBall.

 

Just an idea... thoughts?
