Beta Map [MAP] No Man's Hill
- Thread starter danh
- Start date
I've only played this a few times, but yeah, even on a 64 player server caps are usually fought over and taken by only a couple of players. Lots of long range sniping, but there isn't much focus. I wonder if there was a single large building in D to be taken and held, it might add more interest and variety to the fighting there. Church or civic building perhaps.
I find it a slightly unsettling map, that it's so open and also open in strategy. I like this.

Danh, I played No Man's Hill yesterday and got some really awful pawn/character posing bugs.
For a few people there were missing walking animations and they just flew 1 meter above the ground.
Never saw that before, could that be a map related problem/bug?

I have seen that happen with bots but not players. I don't really know what to do about and I haven't seen it lately. It happens in the PIE and when I do tests on my own server.

Looks like I got rid of the crazy high pings that this map caused. Also, the way objectives are handled should be much smoother and streamlined.
The basic idea is capturing D will allow you to attack enemy caps. So if Axis captures D, then the Allies caps open but the Axis caps stay deactivated. Once Axis captures the two outer caps, then they can attack the final Allies cap. Of course, at any point in the game, the Allies can push back. That is the whole point of the map! Being able to push back from the brink of destruction is an epic moment.

I like the sound of that changelog. I always thought this was an excellent map both aesthetically and design-wise, but at the same time the gameplay was often predictable on it; I'll give you some feedback once I've had a chance to try out the new version.

I'm getting mismatch error after downloading the map from redirect. Can some one confirm or it's just me?

Every once in awhile one of these maps knocks our socks off. This is one of them. I'd played it before and knew it was good, but the new version has some of the most convincing terrain I've ever seen, and the game-play flows like oil. I and a bunch of the old timers spent two sessions on this last night and everyone was begging for an encore. I spoke with one of the board members about a 24/7 and he said "go for it." So we may try that for awhile. This is excellent work.

It will be an endless battle for the hill.

Played 3 rounds on a full server a couple of things;
-Maybe make clearer paths for tanks, ie flatten the ground a bit/add roads in front of tank spawns.
-More ground textures and some intact trees would go a long way in making the map look less bland.
-Maybe some more foxholes/small trenches in the middle area?
