<div class="IPBDescription">For testing my new map, ns2_descent</div>This thread is a repeat for those who dont check the mapping forum, but would like to help me test out my new map. Its not finished, but is fully playable. It might be closer to a beta than an alpha, the biggest thing left is punching up the visuals with detailwork. There are some other things missing, but if you'd like to help out, go here <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=115041" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=115041</a> which has a download link, and more information and screenshots of my map!

Any help is appreciated.

    This is awesome!
    I will test it as soon as possible and will provide feedback and maybe record a video or two if we can have enough players for a real game on it.
    Looking forward to this!

    Start a thread in the general forum announcing a time people will be getting on to try it out. Hopefully this will help populate the server and raise awareness as well.

    Kalabalana, our servers having a map on it is not worth creating an entire topic thread in the general discussion. Your neither right or wrong, so drop it there. The map is up, go organize a game if you feel it's necessary.

    Thanks.

    Was this response necessary? Lets be friendly here, I suggested something to help out, and you shot me down. Come on now, we're adults.

    Either way I think you took my post out of context, there was no ill will in anything I said.

    Impressive, So much so I think it has the potential to become an official map in the future. Even though i don't check in often anymore I have it hosted on the supernova oregon server. If you update the version please PM me so I will get email so i will know to update the server. Like I said, I don't check in to often here anymore.

    Keep it up, My run through was very enjoyable!!

    Let me start by saying WOW! amazing map, great performance. some funky little things here and there, but overall you have really hit it out of the park on this one. What I like most is it feels big, but it really isnt. Once you find your way around you can really move quickly. I love that you have mulitple levels to the gameplay and even though its not finished the quality of what is here now is beautiful! Good job and keep up the good work. Also big shout out to INVERSION, you rock for putting up new maps for people to play and evaluate!

    I think it's great. But you need to add a bunch more props to certain areas before release. There are too many rooms with almost zero cover for aliens and long lines of sight.

    This is a great first version, Jonacrab. I especially like your use of verticality, as well as the curving stairways and dipping floors.

    The layout is also quite easy to learn.

    New version is now available, alpha02:

    This version addresses most of the balance issues that 01 had. For the changelog go to my thread in the mapping forum, I modified the first post to reflect the new release

    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=115041" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=115041</a>

    It looks like inversion is running the current version, for anyone that wants to play it. It should be more balanced for real games.

    Played it for a while; beautiful rooms. Unfortunately only one other person joined, so I can really just say "it's too big for 1v1!". Actually the huge size let us really try NS2 as a pure RTS. I attacked his ARCs with whips.

    Small games probably wont work well on this map, I think 6v6 would be the minimum, it seems to play well in competitive play, but overall I think the map would work better with more people, there is alot of ground to cover. Alot of people have played the map, but I think at this stage its hard to get people to fill a server, since it is not a finished map and there is no downloader. Ill do my best to get this map into a final version that everyone can enjoy. For now, if you have suggestions, I will be glad to hear them, although commenting on the visuals is a bit futile, since that is the biggest part of the work I still have to do.

    Try to post in my mapping thread <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=115041" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/in...howtopic=115041</a> as I am sure this thread will get buried eventually, I try to post here with updates for the people who dont check the mapping forums.
