readme wrote:Story: a human ship was one day taken over by the covenant, they rebuild most of the ship and enhanced all the tecnology. after many years, the energy cores eventualy ended up with compatibiltiy errors and pulsated radioactive waves threw the ship, years passed as the elites bones sat and sat. the ship is still functional even though everything it went threw.

Weapons:
Plasma pistol
Plasma rifle
Energy sword
Needler
fuelrod (aka, plasma cannon)
plasma shotgun
EMP sniper (only in the armory when you use a certain cheat O.o)

Vehicles:
Banshee (with my beloved wing improvments.. who can have a banshee without purply blue wings? lol)
C gun turret
Ghost
Wraith
Dropship
Covie fighterbomber (threw secret only)

Secrets:
Armory
Covie Fighterbomber

Other:
Plasma grenades replaced by sheild grenades (they do have some isues, but it would be to long to explain them all)

Hints:
w, d, PWN, g (well, g isent realy any secret, its just for fun)
im not telling you how you use these leters lol, thats up to you to find out

Reveiws:
Kirby_422 (author)
Its a nice big ship that you can run around in, and it was built with what I felt was more realistic, billions of sleeping elites (that got broken so I claimed they where scelitons lol) and matenance shafts, power cores, storage areas, ect.
Fox (main tester)
I think that this map was one of the best maps iv tested in a while it has great secrets and a good maze like quality
(MG) blaze (beta tester)
Kirby put some work into this map and He actually finished it! Its a really cool map but watch out for the shield grenades, they can be a cheap way to get kills and get killed. (If you run into a certain reactor you get deathless and get teleported into the armory with all the weapons spawned)
Halo Guru (beta tester)
overall the map was good, and would be fun in a 16 player server, yet with all the stuff rendering, and the good detailed textures it may cause computer lag for some, but the map was fun, had a good range of vehicles, good range of weapons and and the concept of it was modelled well.
TJMC43 (beta tester)
it is a very fun map nice covenent feel and is all over big
Trygon (beta tester)
well the map is pretty well thought out. The layout makes it easy to get trapped or trap you oppenents in. There is only one way to the front of the ship... and two ways out. One is through the vehicle tele and the other is the way you came. This is good for short battles with 16 people, and long good fun battles for about 2 - 8 people. The music does get repetitive and as I wasn't expectin music it actually sets a mood even if it is metroid... which I like metroid music. The textures are pretty good after all the tweaking kirby has done, the halls are flat but it was a UNSC ship taken over by the covenant therefore not really needing the curves other covie ships have. It is all covenant weapons except for the frag grenade and the shield grenade, as well as the emp sniper... good luck finding it... because it is under lockdown. The Fighterbomber is also under lockdown. The map has some framerate issues but that isn't too much of a problem. I enjoyed the map's betas and they seem to work fine. There is one collision issue but it is nothing major... unless you just so happen to be stuck on the rocks... yes there are rocks in the tunnels... maybe they wanted to study those . The shotgun is pretty cool too. Try not to hit any reactors... you will die. Well thats pretty much it.
Ricksta13 (beta tester)
it was a pretty good map. i didnt find anything buggy or any errors besides the lag. there are a good amount and variety of weapons and vehicles. the custom HUD messeges are nice. the background music is cool but gets repetitive. the hallways are a good place for shotgun combat. errr thats all i can think of.
Beta testers:
Fox, (MG) blaze, Halo Guru, TJMC43, Ricksta13, trygon

Sorry if I missed anything in this readme, I may make a V2 if there are enough errors and things people wana see added to the map

Looks nice, but the modeling is a little too blocky for a covie ship, and the textures look wrong as well. But otherwise, great job

Edit: just read the readme, nvm

Wrong... you enter the three-character alphanumeric code (: O) into the box and press "Download". Not too hard for you is it?

kirby_422 · Post by **kirby_422** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 7:25 pm

im gonna open a 4 person server where I might let some people try some secrets out without them finding them out themselfs
(I cant realy handel more than 4 people lol, I might need to wipe out some vehicles if it lags up, cause I have a code to do that lol)

PS, people, try that plasma pistol you get for cheat_all_weapons, its a great weapon, but it doesnt sync online so I never made it a model or anything else (you'll just have to try it your selves to figure out what it is, and dont just shoot it a few times, shoot it untill its clip is out, it will seem cooler the longer you shoot it, well, about every 15 shots lol)

i guest it's ok for us humans for squarish objects but covie is totally round. there is nothing of theirs that is staight except for head gears. but even that's smooth. but cool also change it to captured human ship. it fits it better but great work.

i think that this thread should get stickied and that you should get some kind of emblem for this :D

this is very poorly modeled and textured. i don't see a reason for an emblem or sticky here.

Lol yea, that's what I was going to say...

This map looks like garbage. And that's saying it politely. Work on your modeling, make something you're proud of, something that took more than a few hours...

Most nubs would play your map for the weapon mods, rather than the BSP mod... once you get tired of the weapon mods... there goes any fun possible in the map.

ds8 · Post by **ds8** » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:15 am

I would never play this map. It just looks like some of the box's vertices were moved and it's poorly textured.

first of all, it was 5 hours modeling it (I have no clue how I posibly did that lol, I agree it looks like it took like a hour lol)

the only weapons that are custom are the covie shotgun and EMP sniper, so.. the people arnt gonna play just for those two thing... but they might play for the sheild grenades lol, but that fun will run out in about a hour lol..

I though those people who told me it was ready to release where just wanting it out.. (I have like 30 unfinished projects because I think people wouldent like them, this one I let people test so I could see if people thought it was releasable, but i guess they are wrong...)

and also, if you hate teh skin, it was teh people on halomaps telling me exactly what they want where, I reskined it like 10 times, so again, yell at them lol

im guessing your gonna end up requesting a pic of the secret vehicle, huh?..
