After finishing a video I watched in my Natural Science course, (specifically, How the Earth Was Made by the History channel) I thought, "How about a level that took you through the history of the earth?" From right after it was formed to present day.

You could travel to a total of 6 time periods interspersed throughout earths complete history that, IMAO, would be awesome to see and to battle in. You would spawn in one of the six time periods and, if you found one of the stations in that period, you could travel to any other. You would be teleported to a random spawn location in the period you desired to travel in if you so chose to use the station. Here are the periods I'm interested in.

4.5 Billion years ago: Earth is massively radioactive and hellish.

1.5 Billion: The water and sky turns blue from oxygenation. Continents formed.

700 Million: Biggest Ice Age begins. Earth was nicknamed "Snowball Earth" for that time.

240 Million: Pangaea forms. Dinosaurs begin to cover land.

50 Million: Plate tectonics and erosion form our familiar continents.

0 Million: Present Day.

I have plans for how to make each age so each will be different and fun. Plus, different weapons will be in different periods so if one wants a gun or wants to collect all of them, they'll have to do some traveling. :D Bot-pathing will be tricky indeed though.

Nice idea.
Not impossible, but difficult...

I will be the first to download it.

Well, I won't have really any life in it so it shouldn't be that hard to make.

Huh? Pathing should not be hard at all. Bots understand random teleporters just fine.

Sounds somewhat like DM-Gateway from UT3. Just with more randomness.

Actually, I'm going to have the warps teleport someone to a random spawn location in the desired period instead of just some random location.

The tricky part will be finding a way to link all the maps together though.

Hm, what if I could get permission from different map authors that made the maps that would fit the periods and then link them all together?

Sorry for the double post.

I can just imagine a version of "The Sound of Thunder" with UT deathmatching and a butterfly gets fragged in the prehistoric era...

Who knows how things would turn out. :lol:
