Honoghr: Crash Site 1.0

[GAB]

Well, finally my first map is done. This map takes place on Honoghr. if you have already played Empire at War: Forces of Corruption (or read Wookiepedia) then should probably know that Honoghr is a dead-like planet that lost most of its plant and animal life when a scientific ship crashed on its surface. That's exactly what I intended to create. An intoxicated-like enviroment.
The map itself isn't big at all. You will find some turrets, vehicles, some buildings and some other not so cool stuff

Now, I hope you enjoy my map

Well hey, this is a pleasant surprise! Visually, it looks really solid for a first map. I'll give it a download and try it out.

Looks pretty good, and I'll trust Mav about the gameplay. My only suggestion is to reskin some of the props. Other than that, nice job.

7/10. I'd play it if I had the time.

First time I've seen a map by a new person in a while from a new person that makes me say "Whoah" from the first screenshot. I don't really play BF2 anymore, but you nailed it visually for a first map, IMO.

I gave Clone Wars conquest a whirl, and I enjoyed the round. While I agree that the visuals are a little eclectic, I can tell fairly easily what atmosphere you're aiming for, and I stand by my original point that it's a solid attempt for a first map. In terms of gameplay, I was impressed. I followed your advice from the readme and raised the unit count to the max, which made for an exciting, but not overwhelming, match. Some of the command posts seemed a little too close together, though. I think you could have gotten away with removing one or two of them and still maintained the same flow for the gameplay.

All in all, really nice work.

No Noghri?

Ah well, very nice anyway.

I just played the map. It's very nice! I'm not usually a fan of large maps, but I enjoyed my Conquest round. The height changes were all very well-implemented! I also liked the feel of the "bases" on top. Here are the only things I could think of to make the map better:

-The bright blue water (when on low or medium water settings) doesn't match very well. Maybe using the Kashyyk water files would remedy this? I turned to high settings for a moment to view the real water - and it looked great - but I can't play with those high settings all of the
time.
-There were a few areas, mostly the "corridors" lined with Mos Eisley props, that seemed a little empty. If there were only a few more props out in the middle, it'd seem much tighter and nicer in my opinion.
-The various foliage about the lake could be slightly less saturated for a dead-like appearance.

That's about it - this map was a nice package, and astounding for a first.

Downloaded it and it was pretty good. Gameplay-wise it was prefect. It had the feel of an open battlefield without being a "plains" map. My only gripes were the visual aspects (Prop texturing, etc.), but you honestly don't even notice them after a playthough or two.

Is it really your first map? That's awesome for a start, I guess your next map(s) (if you make other maps) will be fantastic! I'd say 7/10, like Wulfman

Looks like a solid first map, very impressive!

(...)My only suggestion is to reskin some of the props. Other than that, nice job.

Yeah. I almost didn't touch the textures while developing the map. I didn't think they were such a big deal but now they're definately something I will work hard on when I work on the 2.0 version of this map.

First time I've seen a map by a new person in a while from a new person that makes me say "Whoah" from the first screenshot. I don't really play BF2 anymore, but you nailed it visually for a first map, IMO.

Thanks!!!

Humm, that's something worth working on. Thanks for the suggestion.

No Noghri?

The Noghris are something that I will surely add on the 2.0 version. I guarantee you. I just didn't add them in this version because I don't know yet how to work very well with sides

-The bright blue water (when on low or medium water settings) doesn't match very well. Maybe using the Kashyyk water files would remedy this? I turned to high settings for a moment to view the real water - and it looked great - but I can't play with those high settings all of the

That's something I didn't think about. Thanks for pointing this out

I'm not sure about putting props in the middle . I think it would break the tank flowing through that area (although depending on the prop I think tanks can pass over them). Anyway. I will "analyze" this...

The various foliage about the lake could be slightly less saturated for a dead-like appearance.

Yeah. I agree with you on that. That's definately something I will change on the 2.0 version

Is it really your first map? That's awesome for a start, I guess your next map(s) (if you make other maps) will be fantastic! I'd say 7/10, like Wulfman

Thanks!!! I will surely do more maps. I already have at least 3 more projects that I want to work on. And I guarantee you I will always try to improve even more on them.

Well, thanks a lot for your positive comments and suggestions guys!!! I will work on the things you said that could be improved and try make a great 2.0 version of this map

[GrownCow]

wow that was really good the gameplay was awesome!

[EraOfDesann]

Great visuals!

If I had any recommendation it would be to change the texture on the Tatooine buildings. Other than that, it looks very promising.
