Map Details for Island on the Sea |
||
This is my first client-side release. The battle takes place, as the name suggests, on an island. The bases are on opposite shorelines, and the map is divided by a ridge of very steep and tall mountains, with two valley-passes. The mountain passes are the most direct routes to the enemy base, but are great ambush spots, and are guarded by base turrets. Tanks and other vehicles can have an easy time sneaking the long-way around by sticking close to the shore at sea-level, since from most places the mountains block your view of much of the shoreline. Seal-teams can also sneak in through the "pipes" in the backside of the base. And the lack of base-turrets at the main base and flag tower mean that the defense crew needs to be on the ball. Overall it makes for an interesting mix of strategy and action, and the large visible distance makes it a sniper's dream. :) |

Grade: None » Submitted by necrobones on 06/04/02The mountains are steep on purpose. They're meant to be obstacles that actually divide the island in two, making water travel more important. :) Grade: A- » Submitted by Alundra on 05/27/02This map is pretty sweet, great to see Necro with a come back. Though the custom terrain looks good and all, I just think those mountains are a bit steep, and hard to ski around. Grade: A+ » Submitted by _Tex on 05/18/02Actually HV 2, which is in the works, will most definately support Client Side maps. And after seeing this one, I think it MUST be put in the rotation.

Map is great and well done. Something we all expect from NecroBones. BUT, I dont think that HV would host this. Why? They have alot of his maps on there already, (which makes the server better) and to host a CS map I think would cause a problem with some mappers. There are alot of great maps that would fit the HV theme. And to have only maps from Necro would be unfair. This is just my opinion ^_^! Now if HV would put up a server with only CS maps then the problem would be solved plus the autodownload is perfect! I said enough! Map is fun like all the others! No Problems here!

The map is pretty nice looking, but is too simple! there aren't enough things to do, and one of the mountains is too high if you look on the CC all there is is a big circle of blackness.
