Switch UNSC Landing Craft

barc0de · 02-20-2009

Ok - so I know we are all very excited about sandbox - but i still had one last thing to do on avalanche.

The UNSC Landing Craft is a ship designed to drop an entire squad down from orbit in one go. It's role and appearance are analogous to similar craft used on Normandy beach centuries ago.

But this has fusion engines:

And a large vehicle hangar:

The main feature is a heavily armored front door designed to keep crew and equipment safe until disembarkment:

A switch above the crew chiefs station opens the door:

Inner workings of the switch:

Voila:

Thats about it. There is a fully equipped covenant base and objectives have been set-up - though playability wasn't the focus.

OP:

This looks like a nice, small, well-forged map. The aesthetics are very clean and, although it is not a very original idea, you did a good job on making the ship your own. This seems like a map that would be good for machinima, too. Well done.

I say it was pretty good the only thing i see or expected out of the map was it to be a tad bit bigger. The ship was a little small and that room with the gravlift that launches you out of the ship was actually very hard for me to access. Idd give it a 4/5.

Its great!

Its good to see more than just A ship....you included a fully operational door with a ship- that makes it seem more like a ship and less like a hunk of floating crates.

Dude! I always thought your maps were pretty good but this one looks great. It's original because of the switch, looks awesome, could have playability if the other side was blocked, and once again, it looks awesome. 4/5

The outside can only be described as 'awesome'. The outside looks very creative and is extremely different to other ships I have seen. I love the idea of your door, but can it be used more than once? The window deck part is really well made, it really makes the ship stand out. Also I love your use of energy blockers to make wingy-type things.

I really struggled to find faults with this map, the only thing I can think of is that it doesn't appear very playable, but I guess it doesn't really need to be as it's an aesthetic map. I gotta give this a 5/5, possibly one the greatest ships I've seen recently. I wanna see more maps!

Thanks for the positive response guys.

The map should be playable - it is not that hard for the other team to get the doors open - ramming them with a boosting chopper is fun.

Because of the limitations of a gravlift switch the doors only work once.

this looks good, why are best parts of ships always the hangers, the door looks good, like someone said before, this map is almost perfect, if not. Great interlocking, good job

the map is very well forged. i like he inside of the ship. although the ship looks very basic. it looks like a nice ship. i think it would look cool if there was two ships and they were next to each other and then they were connected by a boarding bridge or something. that would be sweet because you could shoot across
