Classic mode? Why would you play in classic mode?

if you play it on my server and choose the advanced weapons..you'll cut through those big red skaarj in seconds.

Ok, but it should also be possible/and fun to frag them with weaker/normal weapons 0_-

btw try "gate-x"
and pay close attention to the announcement for the end monster....lol
i had you in mind when i mangled that one!

Why, does he go like this: "Omg this map is so ugly I haet it lol and those lights are blinding me ffs etc".. ;-)





Mh-Zker_Outpost (zaker outpost):

I guess it's become the standard of MH gaming to fill your map with creaturefactories(?) to slow down progress. It can be fun for a while.
-> Kinda like on that TGE map -> Where the gasbags spawn outside.
You have to run through and make it to the other side. -> On highest skill, with enforcer only it ain't easy but it's fun. And adrenaline pumping.
Like that.

Ok, fraggin' the skaarjwarriors in zker_outpost was kinda a blast, but got a little boring... :) ... Wonder if there's pathing, but knowing my AI "buddies", they'd storm inside and lose way too many lives in way too little time.
Or maybe not...

Finishing of the big krall gang was really satisfying. Sure, there were many but it's fair. Just drop a sixpack of grenades in the group every now and then and ...

Looks: Well, it has a dated look. Very basic. Very little detail, and poor lighting. I think the outside part is almost fullbright. =/
Would've been better with a night setting, imho.
(camouflage for certain monsters).

The vicious NeoNite shall now leave this thread.
But .. he will return.. rawwwrr..

Yay, 700+ posts!

I think I should slap myself. Dig_x -> made by mr. x
I just didn't realise that when I was playing the map, or afterwards. Don't know why. So, I just don't like the conversion. No matter who made it, I still would have disliked it.

That means I don't hold personal grudges against anyone ^_^

/slaps self.

Ok.

Just tried mh-chambers of hell.

Starts ouf fine. Nice little extra, those books. I immediatly knew what do when I saw them.
Pupae, krall fight. You descend into the dungeon. Lots of brutes, pupae, krall it's fun. A boss krall. No worries, there are plenty of ripper blades.
Dwarf pupae heh... and one big, fat daddy. Fun to frag.
Lighthing is good in this part of the level. Dark, yet there are enough flames in the walls. Or cracks in the floor, and lava beneath.

When you dive in the water, there are some slith to finish off and a "boss" version as well. Went nicely with normal weapons.

A Tip: Including searchlights isn't such a good idea. Especially if they never run out.
See, you alert the monsters with your searchlight. Waaay too early.
Forget sneaking up on them.

It would be better to add some small, faint lights so you have a clue where to go in the darkness. There's no real need for a searchlight, imho, unless you can disable it (single player, co-op).

After the slith part the fun stops.
Well, ok the gasbags bit was nice. No complaints.

But the lay-out of the small arena and the monster is inhibites, that's asking for trouble. Sure, there's plenty of ammo/weapons/health but once you get in there with 5+.. whew, it could most likely create a bloody mess.

You face teh dungeon lord. A warlord monster with LOTS of health. At least, for normal weapons.
It takes a long time to eliminate this bastiche. It probably would as well if you'd play with 2-3. Depends...
-> Proper use of a strong warlord -> Mh-demons.

Not here. Pity.

After mr. Warlord dies, a door opens with a teleporter.

You spawn in a large, boxy area. Almost fullbright, a small hut, some grass.. three strong titans. Eh, I don't know, just didn't feel right. The area to get ammo/weapons is too small.

-> Good use of titans in open area -> TGES3 (Well, the one which has mercenaries near the start).

After that, our you can forget fragging the titans (I guess it's optional) you descend into the bowels of the earth.
If you know where to go, you can quickly find the exit.
You don't need to frag the monsters left.
The final room has some "nasty" baddies, but you can easily evade their incoming projectiles.

It's not all bad in this map, that's for sure. It doesn't really stand out, though.

-> Map author did add some cameras -> which makes you view certain parts of the level. Nice addition. No shacky "duke" cam, though ;-)

We were playing it in Coop -- Classic jumpZ and weapon damage. MH is just Hardcore mode coop at its best.

I know the settings on 3's server. Bet he hasn't changed it yet. And unreal style aircontrol (almost none). Didn't like it, just too slow.

Btw how does Andromeda_ancient?

I tried playing again, this time with the bpak shockrifle (or progress would've been too slow) and fun... but what do you know. I collect all keys, the final eh gateway(?) opens and when I return to the spawn room.. there's a brute.. he fires.. UT minimises and GPF.

So, before I waste more time on the level, how does it end?
What's the final objective, monster fight...

there is a titan to fight under the big church in the nali village , . the problem is after the battle , there is some passage that need teamplay , plus you never know where exactly the end , because the orders of the passages changes with the version ( same thing for the black hole with the teleporters , which normally leads to the transloc , if you have the jumpboots for reach it )

... in Hermskii's MH server (the only i play, even though it's somewhat spammy) the Andromeda map doesn't end like that!??!?... then again, i *think* its version 1M or something o_0 ...

There are a lot of versions of that map, I used a soundtrack out of it
sounds great in a christmas theme map... Now I'm saying that I guess it is on NC now...
