(Beta) Crossfire - Fortress Forever

MonoXideAtWork · 11-15-2009, 05:37 PM

This is a port of the HL2DM map crossfire2 by "HL Mappers". As of this version everything should work properly, but now we just need a large enough playtest.

Mirrors would be appreciated!!! <3

Screens:

I'll be running this on my server for the next few days 24/7 for testing purposes, and if you want to put it in your rotation, that would be super!

Fix list--

Fixed SG LOS penetrating walls in second yard.
Fixed various lighting issues.
Fixed Playerclips
Fixed stadium spotlights, resulting in the map being more well lit.
Fixed tower lights to show nuke status (green-nuke available, red- nuke launch countdown, yellow-nuke launch resetting.

Crossfire was great (I almost did this instead of rock2 myself), this is therefore instantly great

. Seriously though, it's looking good. Shame there's no way to have the gun turrets, but meh.

Anyways, the only criticism I have is that the base could do with being set a little further back, giving a larger yard out there... seems a little smaller than I recall. Haven't played the original in a while, so I could be wrong on that though.

Great job so far. Are you going to limit this map to certain classes or leave it open to all class types? Also, what about backpacks, the medical resupplies on some walls?

FF needs more maps like this, instead of pub mayhem on ff_destroy and ff_aardvark, where the objectives are largely ignored.

As for the map itself, I've played the original, and the beta, and it's shaping up to be an epic map--we need to get this on more servers and watch as convoys of HW's mow down people in the yard, a grid of SG's are built in the bunker, and Engineers running around EMP'ing everything that moves.

I look forward to playing this map with 20+ people, it'll be a nice break from objective-based fortress.

This was one of my favorite maps just because of the cannons. Blowing people up as they run across the map, trying not to blow up your own team mates when they stick their head up or out of a window (I'm a little trigger happy hehe oops)

I loved when the nuke was triggered and then holding people off with the guns and then at the very last second before the upper doors finally close, jumping down the tunnel to safety

I hope to see more ports of old maps. I would love to see Badlands ported over, I know its being slowly worked on but I'm not a big fan of the last version I seen (too small). I would also love to see all the different rat maps converted over.

Yes, those cannons need to be put in, as well as the health/armour stations. Otherwise it's spot on!!

GenghisTron · 11-15-2009, 11:37 PM

You'd need to find a prefab for the cannons. I was thinking... if Mono can't find a prefab, the cannons off the Striders from HL2 look very similar to the original crossfire cannons, but you'd need to find a modeler to handle that.

Iggy · 11-20-2009, 10:21 PM

At a glance, it looks just slightly too dark... but that's the difference between pictures and actually playing it. I'll DL the newest version and run around it. *IF* it needs tweeking on the lighting, it's not going to be by much.

Also, I don't think it was stated that Detpacks are going to be removed from the map, just that they won't be able to break the doors. It would be a seriously bad thing to remove detpacks from this one.

Awesome job on it, so far!! I'm really loving it!

I love the current playtest group. They are excellent at seeking out possible issues. Thanks guys.
