Spoke to SmallSumo today (after he spoke to Wombat) ...

good news :-)

We will be releasing the new tank map tomorrow some time, so keep your eyes out on here for it.

Just to remind you, it's a large town, covered in snow, allies and axis have 1 tank each, objective is to destroy or capture the enemies tank.

SmallSumo is currently doing the final compile of the map.

I just tested it with Sniper Snake and it plays well :-)

We found a couple of bugs in the script which i'm just fixing.

So when smallsumo has finished it'll be uploaded here ... let's hope his pc gets the job done today.

So do I.
Will you guys be hosting the map?

PS: You received my train map, Scorpio? (just want to make sure you 're email 's still the same as the one in your profile)

got your map, will be doing it soon.

FPS is ok

waiting for finale compile from Sumo.

Just been testing it mp this afternoon, and it's looking great.

One thing to fix in a mo, the bomb on the back of the tanks does not allow re-arm after dis-arm

Just make sure it's not a map that starts you out and makes it so that 5 guys race each other to get to the tank only to make it to the enemy tank, shoot it once and then the round is done. Make it so that teamwork is needed, even though the map is already made. I'm an idiot. This map will be good anyways.

Good points young padawaans, yer it might be a race to the tank but scorpio allowed me to have it this way. Its primarily a groundforce map most players will be protecting the tank. The tanks are as strong as hell I stood em toe to toe and they took about 7 or 8 direct hits each. The ground troops will be the key to victory in this level. So even though it has drivable tanks its not really a "tank level" that your acustomed to getting from scorpio. Be sure to know we will be doing a tank map soon "the scorpio way", maybe in a desert setting.
Good thing is us guys will get better at working together and our future projects will come out much faster.
We just wanted this one to be good.
Fps are good turn off the snow to make it better by 10 or so fps. This map I let the textures do the work, its quite blocky really.
6 hours to go.
I'm doing normal for vis and -extra and -final on the light.

Thanks.
