Which map would you like to see (now with screenshots!)
« on: April 07, 2010, 01:23:41 PM »
Ok so  i was thinking the other day about what maps i would like to make in the future. I couldnt decide on where to begin so i figured id ask you all. Ill list what i already have here then you can suggest maps or vote for ones you would like to see . If the ideas are original and fleshed out enough ill go ahead and add them to the poll.

SA_Abandoned

First up im already working on an urban battle map with some open spaces around the city. It will feature a dropship of the clans and a military base/city in a valley. with some hills between the city/base and the dropship. Lots of roads overpasses and even some sewer systems. Blown out buildings for mechs and even some with fire escapes and rooms for BAs to pass through.

SA_Void


Also i am working on a zero gravity ship to ship level. It will feature two ships with debris between them and each ship will sport a grav deck. As close to cannon as i can make it with the decks and what not. It will focus on BA and aero combat and will provide a look into other combat scenarios in the BT universe outside of mech combat.

EDIT: Currently im working on this more as it will be in a beta phase much sooner than the others. I already have the Achilles class dropship here worked out almost complete with interiors.

SA_Factory

This would be a recreation of the mechwarrior 3 level that has you go through an underground mechfactory. i Always loved that level and thought that it would be an awsome enviroment with no lights save for the overhead lamps and mechs with their own. It would provide for a very intense closer ranged combat level. I would like to model it as close to MW 3 cave as i could.

SA_Poseidon




This is one i can easily whip up. I have already got the terrain done and even tweaked the physics to simulate water like buoyancy. Jumpjets will carry you futher in water (ala turbines keke) and you fall slower. Here among a chain of newly formed islands and geothermal generators are at stake. Intense sea and land battles intermingle here with both great visability above the surface of the waves and close foggy brawling below in the depths.

Next on the to do list is the base designs and the rest of the coral reef.


OK so there ya have it two maps im in the progress of makeing. Im fairly far along with Abandoned but i have to work out the overpasses more and then some of the larger buildings. Void is now closer to beta than Abandoned due to my wanting to develop the ships and see what the dev team thinks about them. I have the gravity worked out however i didnt not include the grav decks in void due to the fact that only jump ships have them and the ships i have are dropships. Jumpships would just be TOO big for this type of thing. Though i might havea single drops ship boarding a jumpship for another level one day.

Voted for Abandoned, since I suck with the BA low-grav controls :P
Factory sounds interesting too, but not as good as an urban map ;D

Factory FTW!

In a groundbreaking new feature, MWLL will include a new gametype: MechRockerBandHeroKersplosion.  Pilots will smash the throttle to classic 80's speed metal using custom ethernet plugin to real guitars.  PPC's will be triggered by power chords, and LRM ammo is selected by playing one of 17 distinctive hammer-on rifts.  Get a teammate elemental to hop up on your mech's shoulder and throw up the horns, and with a hot duel you can deflect enemy fire BY THE POWER OF YOUR ROCK!

 Void. I'm eager to see how this map will work out. Such environment could provide very interesting and unorthodox gameplay.

Its hard to decide, I cant just vote for one! I'd say abandoned and void are my two favorites.

Abanndoned sounds cool (voted for it)
for factory:
i like the idea of fighting in a cave, but I think it shouldn't be a pure brawling map, also some difference to the MW3 map wpould be good, coz the original map is pretty linear so there are not much different ways to engage an enemy, maybe it would be better to design a new cavesystem...?

Void please.
I think it would be worth seeing just how fun space combat would be.
Maybe put some asteroids around for cover.

2nd, I would choose Abandoned.  As a city map would fill in a niche map role.

Totally Abandoned. Something up-close and brutal, with plenty of interesting details.

Void would be my second, but I dont see this one happening until (if) the BA get the claw, or we get some kind of vtol transport to help get between ships. I also don't find BA duels to be much fun with the current mechanics, cause most of the BA weaponry is designed to be a threat to mechs and tends to insta-kill other BA. The MPPPPC is the most notable of course, but the SRMs and even the flamer to some degree. So I would put this one on the back-burner till the BA role is fleshed out a little more.

On a side-note, can we please, for the love of all that is holy and covered in ferro-fibrous armor, can we get a screenshot of the maps you are working on? Not even in-game, just hit print-screen and post!

I would squeal like a small girl, except that would be wierd. Even as works in progress, I think we all want something to drool over a little, since the devs are taunting us with the new patch. But yeah, just something to kinda show the idea behind the map, or whatever.

I would like to see what you are doing with Void though, cause the idea of fighting between two ships still sounds awesome.
