Map Details for Martian Assault |
||
Ancient humans always knew that there was something odd with that Face on Mars. However they did not have the resources to discover its true history or power. But now the secrets of the Face and the ancient Martian culture are being understood for the first time. And just like the old times, we're involved in a space race ! The enemy has already set up a fortress on the opposite side of the Face, and like your team they have already began extracting the ancient knowledge and artifacts. Invade their base and capture it back ! And own the objective located at the source of the extraction. This map was designed for Capture the Flag play, but Capture and Hold missions are also supported (the flags will still be there but apparently serve no purpose in CnH missions). Strong defenses are already built into each base, but without additional defenses your base is NOT inpenetrable ! And watch that back door. Power is provided on 3 separate power grids, so be aware of which power source powers what. Bots are active and they do a great job attacking and fighting for the objective, however they don't have the additional functions added to build defenses or to be overly effective at flag capture. Enjoy !! |

Grade: A- » Submitted by Suioxacied on 07/11/01Nice job, But I do think the vehicle pad on the base should be flying vehicles only. Grade: None » Submitted by Author's Note on 07/03/01This map was my first big effort with the T2 editor's full feature set, and I must say I was impressed by it's ability to design custom terrain. I started with the latest NASA Mars images. I mirrored the newly-imaged side of the face (NASA says it proves it's not a face but in fact it seems to show more bizarre detail than ever). And since it's very close to a mirrored map it is very balanced. Unfortunately the current game does not allow terrain downloads, so it seems this map barely ever gets played :( If anyone has enjoyed a Martian Assault LAN game with many players, I would appreciate your comments, as the best I've ever managed to get was about 4 on 4 during beta testing. And if you want to run it on a pub server just email me and I'll be there :) |

I agree, I got a hovertank stuck more than a couple of times myself... when Bytor's auto-downloader is released maybe I'll take a look at revising this map... the terrain is the real foundation and it would be interesting to re-work it a bit... and maybe do some more neat stuff around/inside The Face.
