Even that I generaly dont like invasion-like maps, this one plays pretty well. An aesthetics, weapons, monsters, architecture... pretty much everything is perfect. I want to especialy point out the bleeding wall in second area, very nice little decoration.
Initial thoughts (though I didn't make it all that far)
- I like the new arsenal so far.
- I like the Quake-ish vibe, too, especially with the tweaked palette.
- I couldn't tell if the slightly different looking imps were actually different gameplay-wise or if it was just a look.
- Seemed pretty hard, even on "easy" mode, due to hitscanners/limited health.
- The fade-in effect isn't widescreen friendly (you can see the level to either side of the black area as it fades)
Stronghold was what got me interested in invasion-style gameplay, but i didn't use any code from it. All the code comes from me.
The level's are hard, and I suggest "mild excitement" or "you can rest when you're dead" for single play. "Suicide" is more for multi-player, and "Eternal Damnation" is there so that map wasn't lop-sided. It's not really meant for anyone to play.
I have the fade wide-screen friendly now, but without anything else major added, (like the grenades), I won't update it yet.
Glad you guys like this.
I've virus-checked the file with my copy of Avast Antivirus and it checks out 100% clean. Mediafire must be serving a bad ad, in which case you should probably install AdBlock Plus in your browser of choice...or get a less panicky antivirus.
This seems pretty good fun. I like the lift level but I was expecting a more dramatic ending when the lift got to the top.
It would be a good idea to make those blank graphics that you place on the screen wider (and the titlepic). At widescreen resolutions you can see the level at the sides.
I've begun working on new classes and I've got one of the new weapons, provided by the great Magban724, but I'm not sure what weapons to serve as class 4 replacements for the two new classes, nor do I know what the class 7 weapon for one of them should be. (I've put a spoiler in the first post with info on the two new classes)
I FOUND THE CHEX QUEST SECRET!
not bad... but I felt the rifle was pretty under powered and almost useless in the start to finish. I suggest making it slightly like the brutal doom rifle, faster firing rate and ADS is semi auto.
