Well, the voiceacting is acceptable because most people who actually play NS sound like that, but if you want a Sarge-type voice I'd recommend letting some other folks try...
Now I'm gonna go see how my voice sounds on a mic while saying that stuff.
heh, should really check the general chat forums more often, first "the NEW ns training video" and now this <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
i know a lot of ppl r split over the commander voice but plz dont judge until uv played the whole thing, darkhand69 has really done a great job, especially with the script
there also seems to be some confusion about whats in this map so ill try to make it clear...
first of all, it is only a training map for marines (theres no alien inclusion but i have left space to include one). this doesnt mean u dont learn about the alien team though but u do so from a marine perspective, as u can see in the video.
anyway heres the feature list in terms of teaching the nubbies
* orders - the nub gets told to follow waypoints, and build structures at waypoints * enemy briefing - a fairly detailed brief of the aliens and chambers * optional weapon information - audio information can be listened to (voiceactor really needs updating though) * u get equipped with a Heavy armour suit which u can see urself in with handy in-level camera, and a HMG which u can play with on the mockup target range * sneak peak onos encounter * quick display of the 3 types of packs the commander can drop for u * weldable parts i.e. opening vents with the welder to progress * fairly basic commanding and building covered i.e. u set up some siege towers then build a phase gate to get there * a mixture of audio and text descriptions of all the marine structures * go faster stripes <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

p.s. for everyone reading this thread the map really isnt a hazard course, its comparable more to the opening level of halo than the half-life hazard course, good or bad, u decide <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Don't worry MP. Even if it never gets into the game, I'm sure people will learn from and enjoy your map. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
well tbh its gonna be too dificult for the nubs to install and run unless its built into the game (hence i didnt make it a public beta) so if it doesnt get in, its going in the bin <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
If it wont get in then release it so i can try it out damnit! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
still no word from Flayra or Tyr about the map, i have learned that 2 other ns training maps are apparently being made, 1 by the ns guides, anyone know anything about this?
still absolutely nothing <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
for 3 months i (and others) have been working on this map for the good of the game knowing full well if it doesnt get accepted we will have wasted all that time and effort, and what do we get, not even a single msg back to say its even being considered <b>>.<</b>

What I will say is I have seen Tyr and others discussing it in the dev forums.. So the right people have seen it, perhaps they are actually taking their time and looking it over instead of giving a gut reaction 'OMG this rocks' statement
ok cheers, its just making a map is seriously hard work, especially one of this nature, would of been nice to have been informed on what was goin on earlier, theres nothing worse than the feeling of being ignored

Now I'm gonna go see how my voice sounds on a mic while saying that stuff.
i know a lot of ppl r split over the commander voice but plz dont judge until uv played the whole thing, darkhand69 has really done a great job, especially with the script

first of all, it is only a training map for marines (theres no alien inclusion but i have left space to include one). this doesnt mean u dont learn about the alien team though but u do so from a marine perspective, as u can see in the video.
anyway heres the feature list in terms of teaching the nubbies
* orders - the nub gets told to follow waypoints, and build structures at waypoints
* enemy briefing - a fairly detailed brief of the aliens and chambers
* optional weapon information - audio information can be listened to (voiceactor really needs updating though)
* u get equipped with a Heavy armour suit which u can see urself in with handy in-level camera, and a HMG which u can play with on the mockup target range
* sneak peak onos encounter
* quick display of the 3 types of packs the commander can drop for u
* weldable parts i.e. opening vents with the welder to progress
* fairly basic commanding and building covered i.e. u set up some siege towers then build a phase gate to get there
* a mixture of audio and text descriptions of all the marine structures
* go faster stripes <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

And since Flayra did post in M_P's topic, I'm sure he is considering it, or has decided either way already.
