HL2 SP MAP RELEASE: Antlion Troopers

Back to the map!

It does seem like a v hard map at first but it is not as bad as when you need turrets in HL2

Easy Pass:
Leave 1 or 2 of the turrets where they are at spawn on both sides. put the rest a few meters in front. runing aroung with one of the turrets in your hands will buy you time.

Few things from me:
1) There should only be one main weapon with the exception of turrets like in ST and high powered grenades like the nukes in ST would be sweet.
2)
The ships should leave at the end.
3) It's hard to walk around the top because the combind dont move for you.
4) There should be a second ramp.
5) And just for fun double everyting would be nice, map, base, combine, guns, bug's
6) Is it just me or does the main gun not respond sometimes when you try to use it?

But i'm not making fun as it is A class work and i'll be watching for the next fun map - thanks again
 
your correct the main turret gun seems to fail every now and then for me two, but i find that when i use it i get swamped by bugs from the side anyhow so it dosent concern me that much.
it would also be very tense if when the alarm went, combine strted running around getting into position like in ST,that would be cool.
of course this would mean that the bugs would have to run up to the base instead of appearing next to it, this would make it a hole lot more tense and overall fun.
i think that the base should resemble the one in ST, thjat base owned!
a tower that can still be reached by the bugs would present the main gun, and 3 onramps with wider paths at the top.

these are my ideas and i think that this would be VERY COOL.

on a note........ROMEO GOOD WORK!
 
Antlion Troopers Duece is in the works and addresses every issue people have had.

*Double Wide Paths
*3x as big base. The center part alone can fit 3 dropships.
*In a canyon for better graphics, plus displacements are not expensive for the engine to render.
*Complete backstory.
*So much more scripted stuff happening.
*I have gotten my hands on the song Klendathu Drop.

Oh and I guess I should changed the synopsis because while you do ride in on a dropship I decided on a different story.

EDIT-You're having theplayer ride in on a dropship? How in the hell do you do that?

*bows down* :cheers:

have sex with me. now.
 
F*ck. Now I noticed that fps goes down to 1 frame per minute everytime at certain point. Im not sure, but im guessing that its the point where the guard spawns. Help?
 
Some reason its loading the second song on the fly. That is why you experience a quick fps spike.
 
Awesome mod. I started laughing so hard when the music kicked in. My only complaint is that your high quality version has exposed my computer for what it really is - OLD! (But I will continue to wallow in denail... :monkee: )

Don't really like the matrix music tho. maby a more hl2 type of music would fit it better, and why not make some really cool antlion attacking sound instead of that combine alarm when the antlions come. Or maby add some of those stamping pilars around the place and when they suddenly shut down (because of gordon freeman defeating the combine in some powerplant and shutting the plant down - so you hear combine screaming trough the radio "that gordon is destroying their powerplant and suddenly, pwzzzt! all power off, pilars stop and the antlion attack")

it really gives a bigger scale to the event. like your really a combine and gordon is in some other place kicking butt and you face the consequences of the loss of that attack by running out of power.

Yeah, and some nice backgrounds to go, a small version of the citadel somewhere far off would be cool.

you guys and your complicated tactics :D

I just left all the turrets in their spawned spots, took one with me, and went behind the ammo box while holding it in front of my face. Never fails.

Rofl.
 
Absolutely Awesome. Looking forwards to part 2.

BTW, all I did was stick 3 turrets behind the ammo box, two on the opposite end, crouch by the ammo box and I don't even have to fire a shot. Everything dies in midair. I only have to shoot once in a while to keep my turrets standing. xD
 
Man that was awesome, when all my guys died, those damn antlions kept swarming in the base so I jumped out and ran out into the desert. The turrets kept shooting at them so they kept jumping into the base, not paying attention to me. After they knocked all the turrets the guard came and then they saw me. So I kept sprinting to the sides picking the moff at a distance. Then the gunships came, but there were still dozens of the damn thing. So I ducked in a corner of the base and blasted whatever came in reach, until the ships cleared the mall out. I had like 20 hp when I won too. Awesome!
 
Bandwidth exceeded on the screenshot! Oh the suspense.

If only I didn't hate fighting Antlions :(
 
Upload the new screeny to some free picture host please. I'd like to see it.
 
As long as the fps is much better in part 2 I'm happy.
 
Thanks if this has been said already Sorry I just read the first 2 pages and I can't be bothered to read the rest.
