Dude, I was just going to say you should crack that map open again.

And what you guys need to remember, dunno if it was mentioned or not, but the map has to support vehicles. You can't just hack a jeep into uptown or something.

I guess it'll be similar to how BF1942 does it, in the sense that you have vehicle spawn points. We'll just have to see. But as for the map development, it shouldn't change much. Plan it out on paper first, play it out in your head, then start construction. And for christs' sake... beta test the maps for more than a night before releasing it. A public beta is welcome, you'd probably get far more feed back than you would on a private beta. Make the adjustments, then release a 2nd beta or final.

pointblank! that map was sweet.... do it!!!!!

wonder what the full vehicle capabilities are. Urban Mech assault anyone? Wait, that's quake4. UrT MX better be crazy fast and fun.

Turnpike and campus are good examples of completely filling the environment with visible architecture. One issue you'll find SID/FS maps is there is contiguous map for all visible points. Oswald is really stringent on making sure SID/FS level designers don't cheap out and leave the map hanging at the skybox. That can be kind of tough... I'm making an attempt to follow that example with the next version of superman. blah blah blah

I think of it this way. To compromise Urts fast gameplay as it is now would be silly. Sooo... This means as fast as you can strafe jump... like say on ut_village2 without a vest, how u can just fly strafe jumping laps around the map... well the vehicles will hopefully go quite a bit faster than that. However on a huge map it won't feel so fast unless you are sprinting along on foot and a jeep flies by, lol.

And obviously vehicles won't be on any maps we currently play, just too small.

*thought. I notice on ut_Turnpike there is a shitload of map that isn't used (fenced off or incomplete) I wonder if they map do another version where the map is huge to accomadate vehicles? Maybe not, just a thought.

Chances are it won't matter


Vehicles very likeley won't have a 'stamina' restriction like players do.

also, mappers tend to add stuff to the map to avoid "maps that end at the skybox", thats what those "shitload of map that isn't used (fenced off or incomplete)" does, is make the map so it doesn't seem so 'artificial' =)


chances of turnpike(or anything else) being modified for it are also slim imo, I can't see it happening, it just wouldn't make any sense.

The maps were built in the game they were built for, with the features available at the time... Let's face it, shoehorning stuff into maps just doesn't work, building a map that supports the game features however, does... I mean, hell.. look at a commercial games, they NEVER seem to build maps for those that don't match the feature set (at least any game that does well in the commercial market)
