Convoy -Nuclear Edition- by alingis on December 8, 2002

Siege Lush Clear Night

Convoy is a vehicle-centric, team-oriented mission. Both offense and defense have objectives: Offense- Kill all enemy MPB's (each one acts as a generator) to expose the switch. Defense- Either protect the MPB's for the full time of the match or drive at least one of them to the stonghold at Neothgard. Oh, and don't drive out of bounds, or the MPB will start taking damage.

MPB's are the most difficult object in the game to kill. Extensive teamwork is required to take them out, and similar teamwork is neccessary in protecting these mobile objectives.

Convoy -NE- adds a great deal of customized scripting, almost a mod unto itself. Vehicles have added or modified weaponry, speed and maneuverability have been increased for all vehicles, and the MPB's now generate a nuclear explosion on destruction.
A big thanks goes out to everyone who has helped make this map possible. To Fishie, Wow!, and all the regulars on "the pond", thank you for your support.

This map blows, in the very sense of the word. Awesome work on this. Convoy itself was fun, and you get it to a new top level here. Keep it going.

A very excellant map, the origonal convoy proved to be a very unique creation. this version takes it several steps further along those same ideas that made the origonal such fun to play.

I just recently tried this out on the pond. Watching a MPB blow sky high was fun (though it ruined my shrike very quickly). The customized shrikes were the most fun thing... I'd be interested in seeing these on other maps. My only gripe is that the shrikes weapons aren't useable against slow moving or stationary targets... only other shrikes. A faster lock would fix that. This map is better than convoy in allmost every way. Good job!

All I have to say is,,,, "It's good to see that there are mapping teams still alive and mapping in the T2 community". Good job guys. Keep them coming.

An update on this map is currently in the works and will sport new weapons for all vehicles, multiple start bases, and other very important tweaks based off of user feedback. If you wish to try this map on a full server, it is currently being hosted on "the pond - siege" (website = tribes2.blinkylights.com). Note to mappers: the code for this map is open for your use, but please give me an email first so that I can send you the most recent (bug-free) copy.

What happened? The cool map of ownage I knew is gone. Instead, you have this MOD. You change everything around, and screw with every piece of script that Tribes 2 carries. I'm surprised this doesn't crash when I host it.
