Staged The Day the Phantom Crashed Into Sandtrap

Souperintendent · 07-30-2009

I was playing Infection with my friends earlier, and I was bored so I went back into Theater mode and replayed the match, and saw something like this. Then, I was inspired, so I went into Forge and edited the map. Then, after rigging the Phantom with Plasma Batteries and Fusion Coils, I went into Custom Games.

Then, I got a Mongoose, got into position, grabbed a Sniper Rifle, zoomed in, then Shot, quickly changed weapons, got into the Mongoose, and then got the Screenshot (after a few attempts).

The Crash.

I like the idea, but you really can still tell it's just coils on top of the phantom. It doesn't look like it's breaking apart, it looks like it already did and now some random object exploded. It's decent though.

I like the idea, but as Kronos said it's not that convincing, try putting the coils deeper into the phantom.

I might try this later if I find the will.

8/10

I know it's not very convincing. You can only put 8 Plasma Batteries on the map. Not nearly enough to create a full explosion.

With only 8 Batteries and 16 Fusion Coils, I'd say it was as good as it can get, considering most of the explosion is in the front, where the Phantom crashed, and the back only burned by the explosion.

There were also some places Fusion Coils would roll off and Plasma batteries would topple over. I did the best possible.

You know you can delete items on the map, right?

The picture isnt that bad, ive seen it before though..

Souperintendent · 07-31-2009

Yes, I do know you can delete Items on the map, but there were only 8 Plasma Batteries and 16 Fusion Coils nonetheless.

Huh, I never thought of how or when it crashed.
2 Thumbs up for originality from me.
The mongoose was a nice touch also.
You would of thought the person driving would of been goin crazy though ;)

great originality, but i can see the obvious pile of fusion coils, and the minor detail that the explosion of a dying phantom is blue not orange. I also see the mg turret on the cargo containers (I never knew the covanant used mg turrets!!!), and the back of the phantom which is not exploding for some reason, but I still do not see the point of the mongoose.
originality 5/5
aesthetics 1/5
cornyness 5/5

I'm pretty sure you can get 32 fusion coils. I might be wrong, but I remember that from trying to get the elephant to fly a bunch of times.

Put the batteries together at the left, closest to the camera. Put the fusion coils further back, at the front (right) of the phantom. There isn't enough blue, and the explosions are too many and too small.
