| Felucia: Heart of Darkness (beta) - File Description |
|
Description:
"Felucia: Heart of Darkness" is a map set on Felucia at night. It has nothing to do with any rivers in Africa or the deplorable Joseph Conrad, in case you were wondering.
Redmrcrayon's Felucia map is an interesting take on the planet, similar to the take the Clone Wars cartoon recently had in its latest three episodes. Everything has a trace of luminescent neon, and it looks pretty nice. None of it on this map is done with any sort of bloom or lighting, which is what I think would be nice to see to really make the environment "pop," but it's still nice to look at.
The rest of the map is pretty much standard Felucia-type map, although it's a little more open than most. It seems to be set up fine, although the REP side does start with a reinforcement disadvantage. The map is filled out with predominantly Mygeeto props, which for whatever reason seem to be a popular choice to use with Felucia. I've never liked that particular choice, and I don't care much for it here, but I do like the retexture of the Mygeeto shields to make things seem a little less like stock Mygeeto.
The one big issue I noticed with the map is that the CIS seems to get quite stuck at their furthest-back base. The lip of the platform they start out on often prevents any walking units from crossing over it, and this makes for a bit of an unbalanced fight in the end. There is also an uncapturable destructable CP midway through the map (it could easily be made just a prop or it could be made a full-on CP; right now it is stuck in some odd limbo between the two).
In any case, for a beta version of a map, it's pretty decent. The sides are crazy large - far too large for the amount added - and should be something that is addressed in the full version. If you like what you see, though, give this version a try.

Posts: 145 | Wow... I'm on Pandora...
This map is sooo nice :-) But the name doesn't fit, this it NOT Felucia, it's Pandora! It's a world full of peace and life - but there are invaders. Tsawtute... if someone here speaks na'vi :-D
The map itself is not bad, but a bit too much open fields. There should be even more of this amazing bioluminescencing plants. And the map lacks another thing: the fitting music :-) Maybe something for the final release...? (as long with huge blue people on the one and RDA soldiers on the other side  )
I really love this map... *dreaming of being there*  *realizing it can't get true*  |

Posts: 1297 | Pandora? This world reminds me more of Dark Aether from Mertoid Prime 2: Echoes. Those balls are really cool glowing blue balls that will make up for phazon plants on the planet. I'll give it a download to revisit Dark Aether in another game. |

Posts: 349 | @redmrcrayon: Your map is simply gorgeous. The reason why I like some custom maps more than others is the sides, but this is an exception. This is the first map ever that I like just because of the setting, not the sides.
There's a region though around CP 6 where you can walk to the end of the map, and there should be some obstacle preventing you from doing so, appart from that I didn't found any issues. Just the sides is what you need to improve, and, why not? Probably give it a go adding another era featuring some big blue guys  My overall rating is a well nice 9/10
@Median_Starkli: Dark Aether? Don't think so... Read the credits "James Cameron for his insperation (you will see what I mean)"

Posts: 1297 | All I'm saying is that this reminds me of Dark Aether more than Pandora. I'm not saying that Metroid Prime 2 was redmrcayon's inspiration. |

Posts: 1297 | Yeah. The more I play it, the more it reminds me of Dark Aether. Why? The moving sky of one, the "phazon" ball trees, and the buildings with power on. It maked me feel as if I were actualy playing MP2 rather than SWBF2 (I was actually expecing an Ing Warrior to appear out of nowhere!) . That aside, I like the dead troopers on the floor scattered around there, but I didn't see any dead droids. You missed that tiny detail. I didn't like the fact that this map can only be played on Clone Wars only, but meh, I'll have fun shooting down the clones...
My conclusion is this is awsome work. redmrcayon, my deepest respects to you and your power of imagination. Keep it up, comrad! |
