Cs_ns_assault Or De_ns_dust

skwirl · January 2004

Ok, I was brain storming and I thought of a really good idea for some new maps. Like we could have cs_ns_assault where a UFO would be crashed outside of the big building and the aliens would try to get in and the Marines would have to protect people inside, its like regular T's and CT's but the Marines have to protect the people inside. or a de_ns_dust a UFO crashes and aliens try to set up camp before the Marines kill them off. You know something like that work with me here leave some feedback. Could remake the old Counter-Strike maps into new NS 1337 ones.

you're gonna get flamed for this. most people here are very not into this idea (including me)

ParaseticLifeForm · January 2004

i support u skwirl how about nuke but if i had to choose those 2 id pick assault

MasterMike · January 2004

No, just no. If you want to play CS, go play CS. Not NS.

Cr-ck · January 2004

....*gets my flamer out

we already have ns_dust

Tequila · January 2004

Yeah! UFOs! Little green men! Roswell!

Wait, no, that isn't what NS is about. And don't even try and bring CS into this.

Download the cs plugin which replaces terrorists with khara....

... also using the *CURSEWORD* Newbie Mapping Forum for suggestions this silly and more of a "funmap" thing.

Counter Strike!!

PogoP · January 2004

Nah, we want to keep NS maps serious and 'futuristic' not like those CS maps. CS maps are for CS, dont try to recreate them in this. Please.

Lazer · January 2004

How about someone uses a program and converts all the T spawns to alien spawns and all the CT spawns to marine spawns and then add in a CC and a hive. Wouldn't take that long to do, but it is quite possible. Hell it could even turn out to be quite fun to play. I'd suggest a map like prodigy or something with mainly hallways.

Maus · January 2004

Why does this make me want to put together yet another cs_assault variant, but NS-themed (all the fancy textures, &c)? Hmm though - I guess the devs dont' want the textures used for non-NS maps... feh.

ImEric12 · January 2004

Hah, I love how most of the very few people who actually agree with this idea type like 8 year olds. Including the person who came up with the idea.

esuna · January 2004

To be honest, if i want to play CS maps, i'd play CS, and guess what, i uninstalled that piece of crap long ago.

NS is all about the mood you set in the mapping. And CS maps have no mood whatsoever. No atmosphere. Nothing. Not just that but NS mapping opens up so much more creativity, rather than relying on realistic locations, you can let your imagination run wild a bit and design some funky machinery or organic terrain.

And skwirl, i take it you are from the CS community... something about that last post just.... i dunno, told me...

DarkATi · January 2004

Counter-Strike is fun, I currently indulge in a little Dust from time to time but the fact of the matter is you are trying to stick a square peg into a round hole. It won't fit, it won't work and it will be a waste of time. Come up with something original that fits the theme of NS. If you want an outdoor DM-type map then make one for combat, it could turn out very fun. Just try and be more original next time you brain-storm.

(This is not a flame, I don't flame, this is a helpful suggestion, please do not read this the wrong way, I am simply stating my opinion and trying to help you out with some feedback.)

This is obviously an attempt to make a joke that has gone horribly wrong. I hope. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' />

Parallax · January 2004

What I take from your post, skwirl, is that you want more of a feeling of "advancement" and conquering of territory to the NS maps. At the moment the maps are a bit of a static battlefield because of the entity limits.

We are not supposed to do outside areas, as aliens are much more mobile (i.e lerk and fade) in the air than marines. UFO's don't fit into the NS backstory, which is one of a bacterium spreading from ship to ship to planet, all of which once belonged to humans.

We are not supposed to have colonists (to defend), as that is too "gory" and generally is also forbidden. Better would be for the marines to be trying to defend valuable technology, that if disabled gives them a severe disadvantage.

Remember, this is a strategy game, not an action game. As mentioned by DarkATI. these ideas would fit rather well into combat maps. There is already a combat map (posted on this forum in the last 30 days, not official yet) where aliens arrive in a ship and are trying to infest a starbase, while the marines are pushing them back.

On another note, I am suprised about the mix of people populating this forum. It always suprises me when non-mappers post here. That is cool man!

Thanks for the ideas, but some of them don't really work in with the direction that Flayra is taking this mod.

First off I must say if you want a good CT vs. T FPS, for the love of god look to Hostile Intent. And second, CS maps are built on a different mindset. Can you imagine the amount of times that the marines would get owned by lerks on a map like assault?

Growing up is recommended and the all-around better choice. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

New ideas are welcome always and I agree it is cool to see non-mappers 'round these parts, this particular idea just isn't a very good one unfortuanetly. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' />

Jemme · February 2004

If your 'brainstorming' led you to believe we need yet another cs_map clone in a totally different mod you obviously lack some brainpower. CS maps are simple boxes that any mapper can make in 15 minutes, NS maps take real skill.

Also judging by his immature replies, skwirl must be a nublet both irl and on the net.

So after three posts you've already managed to offend most of the English people reading this thread. Nice one.

EDIT: Also, most CS maps would just <b>not</b> work as NS maps, no matter what.

That's the problem, you are all WAY to serious!
This guy has so clearly just come on here to get a rise out of all of you by making the absurd suggestion of making NS like CS, which has been brought up SO MANY times on these forums.

lol, you would have thought that this joke would have just died down

Kouji_San · February 2004

Why are people still replying thats what I want to know

CS != NS && NS>anymod

Now please stop this bumping, I wont make the suggestion to lock it (wait just did). Ah well lets see how mature we all are to stop posting in this thread. This is a NS forum not a CS forum <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' />

Meh.

I know that CS isn't popular around here, but if we could please refrain from attacking peoples' intelligence (or their queen) in the future and stick to whether an idea is good or not without insulting its source, I'd be a little happier.

All of the replies in this thread could still have been about the reasons CS maps are bad for NS without questioning anybody's personal attributes.

Since this has more or less played out, I'm going to end the pain.
