| Dropship Down (1.0) - File Description |
|
Description:
As a diversion from some of the other large projects I am currently working on, I decided I wanted to create a small, compact and tightly detailed map for quick release. This map, Dropship Down, depicts a densely forested canyon featuring a dropship crash site. This was a very quick map to build because I used various prefabs created from other maps that I have made to hasten its construction. The crashed Dropship's origin is from an old skirmish map, Primaeval. The trees come from Morlock; and the NoSnap rocks are heavilly modified versions of rocks that appear in an incomplete and unreleased map residing on my hard drive, Hell's Gate.
The title, 'Dropship Down', is an hommage to the Ridley Scott film, Blackhawk Down; which is an awesome - and must see - movie. However, other than the title, there is no resemblance to Scott's movie whatsoever.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!WE WANT MORE AVP2 SKIRMISH MAPS!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey! When are you AvP2 Mapping Dudes gonna start making yer own Skirmish maps..? Huh? Huh? Huh..?
It's friggin' easy to convert a finished DM map into something any non-Multiplayer Gamer can enjoy. Of the 18 hours I spent on this map, less than 2 hours was spent on adding AI components to it for Single Player skirmish and Co-Op mode. I know for a fact people will download it just to Skirmish in, so adding the AI will ensure a greater interest and download for your map.
Adding Skirmish is a quick and easy way to increase the number of people who will download and appreciate your maps.
So, ya got no excuse, guys... Just do it! | |
