Looks sexy! I'm going to try this =)

Let us know what you think!

I hope you realize no matter what they vote it doesn't effect the judges decision, though it will be cool to see what everyone thinks.

I'd like to see this map with a difficulty adjustion system, so that it would be fair no matter how many players are in the game: I started alone and got killed by the first zombie ambush before I could even run away. >_<

we considered having a system like that howerver in the end we decided we would rather this map fully be dependent on teamwork.

Rock on. I'm going to try the map in a bit.

But will it eliminate micro?

Woah. What's with the TEST UNIT wraiths?

The same way =)

Something is wrong with the items system, because we couldn't take items/get minerals. We've done it to the place where we should destroy the airplanes and got killed on the first one. The overall impression is nice, but you should fix that.

Download the attached map, not the one from the link at the head of the post.

Couldn't pick up items either. I also couldn't figure out what each of the items did.

I might have possibly skipped something, but I got the gatekey... then I went to talk to Ricky. Is it supposed to be this jumbled or did I miss a part of the story?

EDIT: I didn't download the trailer. It was the game, but had 9 or something wraiths called TEST UNIT (random symbols).

I mistakenly uploaded the test version prior to uploading the correct public version.

Not sure i understand the question.

When you picked up the gatekey, you went through the southern gate, which is glitched to be able to sneak through, instead try going to the western gate, that one will open.

ETEFT and I were forced to rush the map due to finding out that the map was due by 11:59pm eastern rather then central, causing us to have to leave minor glitches prior to submitting the map for the SEN winter mapping contest.

The map is OS, so feel free to take a look at what could fix these minor glitches, this version was intended in time for the contest only. I decided to make it a public release even though it had minor glitches because i assumed someone out there would clean it up to play publicly. If you do edit the map be sure to leave me and ETEFT's name in the forces and in the introduction.

Didn't like the map.

First of all, it's 1.5 MB, for which I was amazed I was able to get 4 players in a public game.

Glitches:
- Blue spawned with 2 marines at the start... come on.
- Only Blue could pick up Weapons Upgrades.
- (Intentional?) Barricades are walkable through, at least some of them. If this is intended, you should leave a noticeable open area where the barricade is "broken." My team wasn't sure where to go after the initial zombie ambush until one of the ghosts walked through the southeastern barricade. I'm not even sure if this is where we were supposed to go. Confusing people isn't a way to get them to like your map.

It may have been fun to see what happened, but the game ended as soon as I died, so I couldn't watch my team. I really don't want to spend another 5-10 minutes getting the map uploaded to 3 new players, so that's pretty much the end of my experience with the map.

Best of luck.

If you would have read my previous post on the thread, i have listed all the glitches and the southeastern barricade is one of them. It is not intended to be walkable going through there cuts out 95% of the map. I appreciate you taking the time to state the problems, however all are known issues which i have posted.

ETEFT and myself are working hard to fix these minor glitches that make the map less enjoyable. Please be patient while we try our best to smooth it out.

I see, sorry that I missed that.

When you've finished the map, I'll be the first to try again.

One thing i will note, when i released it for the SEN winter mapping contest i didn't realize that these glitches were there. I was testing the map alone and in a rush to meet the deadline i did not have a test with full house, thus leading to the 4-5 known glitches in the map. I thought the map was glitch free therefore i released it publicly. I assure you eteft and i are working hard to release Lost City v1.2 which will fix all known glitches.

Tons of glitches... and it wasn't fun wasting my time going around the forest almost without any enemies..
but yeah.. the final product should be nice. I liked the Corpse things.

However, everything feels really forced and Rushed. The Storyline was rushed.. tons of glitches.. Terrain was badly done... the Cave isn't really a cave, but a tele system.. (Could've added a little cave section =O)... Items weren't working.. the Item section seemed to take an unecessarily large portion of the map too =o. And I keep using the cigarettes (which heals, lol) by accident.. how'd u "give" a cigarette instead of "use" one?....

And it was really frustrating to go into so many barricades.. and walk around until you've exhausted every possible things without any enemies attacking you.

it was boring.... but by simply adding more zombies, this map'd be much better... =D

I want to thank you for your honest review. As you guessed, we were rushed in bits of the map however, the storyline was not rushed at all... The good news is we have already worked out all the glitches and are adding minor things, such as more enemies like you suggested, to the final product to insure all players enjoy the map as much as we did in the making of it. In my own defense, yesterday alone we worked out over 15 minor glitches, and the product you saw had a remaining 4 to 5 glitches. Perhaps you exaggerated a little? However, none the less all the glitches are now gone! Within a few hours, hopefully, we will have the public release, version 1.2 (glitchless) out! STAY TUNED!

Are you going to update the submission to the contest or would you like me to play the one you already posted?

No, the updated submission will be here in about an hour. Unfortunatley T-Virus and I had miscommunication last night and he released a bugged version. I have the final version which should have ideally no bugs at all. Look forward to it being posted in this topic in about an hour. Thanks!
