Comments on: ONS-Tank Fight By The Savant http://utunlimited.wordpress.com Thu, 02 Jul 2009 11:51:18 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Murphy http://utunlimited.wordpress.com/map-reviews/ut-2004-map-reviews/ons-tank-fight-by-the-savant/#comment-321 Murphy Fri, 30 Jan 2009 08:23:38 +0000 http://utunlimited.wordpress.com/?page_id=2433#comment-321 Hi, the idea of having individual pieces of metal hardware in a desert environment reminds me of a singleplayer map in Jedi Academy. It's a cool theme to explore. In the map above, the hardware part looks really good, but in stark contrast to that the desert looks bad. No offense intended. Maybe The Savant can release a Special Edition of this map with a better terrain? The textures scaled larger, the dunes more dune-like, maybe some dry grass and/or parts of the terrain with dry and broken mud, some indication for requently traveled ways, like tracks in the sand or a sand type that looks like it was compressed by vehicles rolling over it all the time, etc. pp. I looked at the screenshots and the terrain immediately put me off. Only the high score made me look at them closer and I see the potential, as the hardware parts do look good. Firefly also rated the gameplay high so a terrain-make-over would really be worth it as you (The Savant) seem to have a solid map at your fingertips. Good luck either way, and thanks for offering another map in UT2004's late life-cycle! :) Hi,
