a fixed version of my old map, preparing for hell. Now harder to beat before the spores.

My god timwi!!! How did you beat this map so fast?!?! you win. I'm not fixing it again.... Ugh

Timwi · February 28, 2011, 04:43:19 PM

Pretty much the same strategy as the previous version, actually...

If you want me to, I can try to do it again and record a video this time. Do you want me to do that?

Umm... That might help. I'm about to the point of putting a delay on the totems, so you can't get them until the creeper gets out. Either that, or I need to figure out how to make the emitters are strong enough that you can't do that.

Or maybe some changes to the terrain, some walls, an idea is forming.

@Timwi - just curious about your selection of weapons - I think you're partial to Drones and was just trying different combinations.
Thanks,

maybe I shouldn't allow drone tech.... somthing to keep him from beating the map before the spores!

Timwi · March 01, 2011, 03:39:06 PM

I didn't use any drones.

Ebon Heart · March 01, 2011, 04:13:09 PM

Gah. Stronger intensity emitters then. Those big ones breaking out sooner maybe....

Poor mapmakers take refuge in stronger emitters. :)

Check out some good maps that don't rely on strong emitters.

I've finished making the video.

This is 6 seconds slower than my record. It is also pretty damn close at the end, probably as close as is absolutely possible. So despite being slower, it probably looks more impressive than the record :)

Dude! Way cool watching you work (though it could have done without the background music). With method like yours I can't understand for the life of me why you aren't constantly kicking my a$$.

Ebon Heart · March 01, 2011, 08:37:17 PM

Bahah, it's just barely possible to get it before the spores, but it is possible.

DethbyIT · March 01, 2011, 08:38:43 PM

Wow!
^^
What IkeaPimp said - just amazing.

[Edit - mine is a lame score - just doing what Timwi's video showed.]

Indeed. I should make a new version of this map, beating hell with a stick, that doesn't offer Thor tech, or sams. Lmao
