How to Install:

There's a file that you need to download, first, the GamePack file HERE (http://files.filefront.com/Lance2GameFileszip/;12322826;/fileinfo.html). Then the map files (See above)
Last GamePack file update: 31/10/08. Current version: 1.00

Once you're finished download, all you will have to do is to extract them in the following directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\Computer\My Documents\My Games

NOTE: You will be asked to overwrite the files, just note that it will not overwrite any game files or damage your game for online play.
IMPORTANT: SAY YES!! Otherwise it won't work.

How to Play:

Open the console "`", then type open lnc2_mapnamehere then if you want to load the last checkpoint it will work nicely, and you have a history of all your console commands, so you can jump in real quick and just press "`" then the up or down arrow, tap enter and you'll be in as you just booted the game.

Dare I say, wrong forums period....

no offense to anyone... not sure if anyone stops by this side of BU but seems general consensus is GoW custom content now matter how awesome or interesting, ( or noobish attempt at something) gets shrugged... off to the side.

Where as anything in content release thread realated to UT 3 with varying levels of quality get more visits and comments.

Just a trend a I noticed... no offesne to anyone...

And yeah Kantham I still need to fix MP_Pipeline for Lance game mode....

[Kantham]

There's a GoW Icon, so I use it!

[WaitForTheRain]

Great, I'll download it now

[Kantham]

Facade is now added.

[Grogan]

I saw this in the News forum here, and came to look for a content thread to comment in.

Kantham, this is fabulous. I like it even better than the endurance.

The maps look really good. Variants of your endurance maps, but they look crisp and clean and there's more areas you can go.

The damage levels of the enemies are about right in this game mode. (I thought it took a bit too much to kill them in those endurance maps)

There are plenty of weapon pickups.

It's not as frustrating, being able to respawn 5 times in a match, rather than having to start it over on every death.

Finally, I love how the locusts die. They kind of fall to their knees before laying down, and have one last twitch before dying in a puddle of blood. Nice touch.

You've sure done a lot for this game.

[Grogan]

I actually won a round of lnc_facade, and the colonel said "acceptable tactical losses" instead of insulting me :D

Seriously, this is great stuff. I've really been enjoying this game mode (especially the facade map)

[Kantham]

Lol yeah, Hoffman is awesome. :D
Glad you appreciate it! BTW, a new one was released yesterday in case you missed.
Updating first post now.

[Grogan]

Excellent... Sabek. I play that endurance map a lot.

I'll be trying that tonight!

Yes, I did miss that yesterday (didn't look anywhere else). Thanks :)

so what about orion? your site says something about a september 20th release.
now, i don't wanna seem impatient or something but orion is pretty much my favorite of your gow maps so far :)

[Kantham]

Yeah sorry for the delay. :)

[nELsOn]

[Kantham]
