Ahhhh..... now this I like. Definitely your best effort to date, Koba. Keep up the good work!

I listen to Christian music while I play too. It's got a good tune.. a good beat... good vocals.... my tank can dance to it... Not all Christian music is boring. Most of it is 10x better than the main-stream stuff out there right now.

I think it's funny/cute. I don't have any trouble reading it.

Pretty cool, Koba. It's definitely an improvement on the last map. Ever think of putting any buildings in your maps?

I don't usually play it too loud.... but I listen to techno/trance almost every time I play BZ. I also mix in some Enya, Holland, etc. I always listen to a certain trance song while I play matches... and no, I'm not telling what it is.

It'd be even more fun if you could actually cause a tank to bounce. Not literally bounce.. like a rubber ball... but horizontally. That would be a really fun/challenging way to get campers off of high platforms.

Yes, Chik, customizable is a word. ;) I sort of agree. But at the same time.... it could cause people to start to compete with their own teammates. As it is, I have met a few players that will literally drop their part in a battle and race their teammate to the enemies' flag so they can get a CTF sc...

It was my evil twin! I swear it! I'm not evil! I'm an annnnngel!! Okay... back to the topic now.

Not too bad, Koba.

My only real criticism is that the map wouldn't have a completely structured gameplay with certain flags. I think it would be the most fun with one shot and jumping.

Yeah.... or he will frag your tank a few hundred times on the battlefield.

Hey! Who said that?! No, it wasn't me! Nooooooooooo!

Hehe. Excellent description, Koba. :D I made the map extra big because there were usually 10-15 "veteran" level players on Turkey at the time.. and it made for some reallllllllllllllllly good hunting. :) Thanks for the review. :) P.S. If you like this one... you'll looooooove my next map. ;)

Ohh yeah! I forgot the SB stuff. The new SB's totally rock. I didn't know that the explosions changed.. but then again, I've been playing with this client ever since Patlabor posted G1 (like a month ago)... so I've forgotten how G0 looked (minus the huge aiming sights.... ick).

Hehe SGI. I've also noticed that the "steps" up the sides of the pyramid are rather steep. Sometimes they're tough to jump when you're in a hurry.

I like 1.7g2 because I can make the radar huge. Now, when I play with the old radar screen, everything looks tinnnnnnnnnny. The big radar is tons better for CTF.

I'd have to agree. Overall though.. I love Gerbil's new map.

Ohh.... the map on Turkey is Canyon 3.0.

You just said (in more complicated terms) exactly what I did, Patlabor. LoL! I like BZ because it's simple..... but at the same time... I'm itchin' for a shot at (hehehe) Screamers.

Is that a future Screamers map or something?

I'm afraid that the same thing happens to me. I don't play FFA much anymore..... so it doesn't happen much. But often times, when I'm jumping forward and firing GM... or when my client lags.. I blow myself up. I reported this on sourceforge.. but I'm not sure that it was "fully fixed" (it ...

Dunno. Those would be cool features and all..... but they'd make BZ too much like other first person shooters.

Playing with keyboard only can be sort of fun... but I prefer the mouse. For one, it's easier to fire with the mouse. I couldn't really find a good key as a "fire key" without messing up my map magnification keys... LoL. I'm just too used to the mouse/keyboard combo now.

Well... your desire to see the map has given me some inspiration to continue working on it. Hehehe. I'll toss a copy up on the board once I've finished it.

Ummm..... maybe I'm stupid..... but how do you run the Windows exe?? I open it.. and it runs realllllly fast and closes (a lot like the good old "Hello World" C++ apps).

Yay! I love it!!!

And Dervish... I think it's easier to keep BZ on a vertical/horizontal level... diagonal stuph would sorta mess the game up for newbies and the like (although I'd like to try it).

Yeah..... those headsets were the cheap Matel immitations. Get with the program!

Drive on the bottom of the pyramids??? I think that could be one of the coolest things to ever happen to BZ maps!!
