*Pats Kakashi623 on the head* Yes.
 
Looks cool, but there gonna have to add more enemies than just antlions...
 
i was thinking of star craft
the maps online that they have where you keep the dudes from passing you
kinda like that but they kill you instead of pass you

These are from the higher computer version. As you can see more bodies present and more antlions are spawned.
 
Ahhh its just a scenario map, not a mod. Yet still cool :upstare:

/edit

You can go to the thread at http://www.h l 2world.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=17272


Note: of course there is no space in the link, just change it ;)
 
Excellent. This should be tons O' fun. You should script a sequence where an Antlion Guard busts through the ground in the center of the base.
 
:thumbs: Keep it up. Put some rock formations in the area or put some hills in there. Once again, good job.
 
Im also looking for a mod to work on as a mapper if anyone needs one.

I have projects I can share that I have done like de_rats and when this map releases. This map isnt focused on looks but more on scripting and stuff.
 
Looks AWESOME!

can you play as antlions as well? a bit of nautral selection/starcraft feel in there?

And starship troopers was a fantastic movie is you understood it
 
the reason terrain is basic is because the gameplay is more important. If I make the terrain more detailed then I have to sacrifice amount of antlions at one time allowed.
 
ok, some things

1. this would be great for sven coop

2. why not have the antlions spwan out of holes like they do in hl2

3make it a canyon, so thatyou dont have to worry about backround too much
 
Looks very cool! I always preferred fighting against the Combine though.
 
The spawn like in hl2 on coast where they poop out of the sand

Anyways I did a closed beta and here is what one of them thought of the map thus far.

Heres what one of the testers thought of the map:

NOTE: This review is on a beta version of a map and should not be considered otherwise.

Intro

The beta version that I recieved was extremely fun, my heart beat increased the longer I played. Antlions come from all over the place and you have to try and shoot them off, sounds boring, but you haven't seen this map yet.

Setting up

At the beginning you saw my handa come out infront of me, and a heap of combine standing around. When I looked around some more I saw some turrets, I could tell these had to be set up right away. I placed three in a triangle and I kept carrying one around with me. I waited I little while and listened to the music. After a while I heard them, I heard the antlions coming.

The battle

The antlions rose from the ground and started to fly at me and my combine allies. This was when my heart started racing. I was trying to hold ground with my turret that I was holding the antlions were all around me, I ran around the outside of them and trying to keep the turret facing at them all, already the trurrets that I put down got knocked over. When I was running around with the turret that I was holding I the turret got blocked by a ramp and fell out of my hands. I ran over to a dead combine body and took a pulse rifle. I started shooting at the antlions but there was to many, I ran up the ramp and got knocked of of the edge of the base by an antlion. I was trying to run backwards while shooting at the antlions but they flew all the way over to me. The crowded me and while I tried to fight back they started attacking me, it didn't take them to long to kill me.

Conclusion

I forgot to mention that the map feels like a movie, you should just hear the music. When this map is released you better hope that somebody has mirrored it because this map will be a hit and you won't be able to download it otherwise. RomeoJGuy has done it once again, he has created a map that exeeds the expertise that Valve has.

Last Stand-ish maps are always good. :D This in particular looks good.
 
looks like it could be pretty cool. I do like Starship Troopers. Well the setting and all that. the movies were crap but the idea of fending off hordes of bugs is cool.
 
They should make the Ant Lions bigger and harder.
 
I assume there is no goal and Ant Lions will keep on spawning until you're dead?

If so, maybe you could add some sort of counter that counts how long you were alive, don't know if it's possible using those math_ and text entities.
