Nice video :)
Thank you :) Stay tuned something big is coming :D
...good design and plenty of explosives but no stealth weapon choice and hords of red pants all over the place - forget it! I don't favour unbalanced maps.
Thank you butcherbird! :) Actually all the stealth weapons are hidden all around the map just like in every map i made so far. For the plants thing , i didnt notice i put too much red plants tho, the thing is that if you dont want to use the syringes you dont, i dont think that this makes the map unbalanced. There plenty of Fort Skrap maps because i cant delete the older versions, i hope you played the newest one.
Hello MM,
Traditionally there is at least 1 stealth weapon at the start point (crossbow / bow, silencer gun ..etc)
I dint talk about red plants but PANTS hence the enemy ;) hence overpopulated area.
What makes a map unbalanced?
... too many enemies on a relatively small area hence no chance to move undetected especially with no proper weapons. Other than that excessive respawn of enemies making the mission endless or/and elevated/dynamic vulnerability (for the gamer) like 1 shot kill. There are a few dev. names out there I skip by principal due to excessive missions. Remember this is a game and not mortal combat school. I admit I play by default on Hard level which is not exactly easing the situation. However even on hard/expert it should be still an enjoyable but hard mission...
Have a look at the Top Rated community maps especially outposts - those are mostly well balanced missions.
Hey butch, silenced weps are very close to the spawn of both respawn points and dont require alot of search to find them, my maps force the player to search and play around adding replayability to the map. Fort Skrap can be stealthed with 1 grenade and throwing knifes only you dont need silenced weps at all, i play on hard too. Basicly all my maps should be played stealthy because when tha alarm goes off the sh*t happens. All you need to do with Fort Skrap is mark every enemy you see and then get inside the base and start killing stuff, then use the grenade to blow up the section where min is located, blowing up this building blows up the underground section of the map too and kills everyone in the section undetected, you just need to plan you attack. Keep in mind that these are maps that where made almost 1.5-2 years ago, i just 'remaster' and bugfixing them with the help of steves mod and creating trailers for them for fun because i love video editing. If you want a real challenging stealth map you can play Infiltrated (which is new and won the map jam 3) when i re-release it with stealth weapons added. If you didnt like Fort Skrap you can akso try pagans mansion , there is a video for that map too, pagans mansion is a bit easier on the stealth part. Most of those traditional maps you are talking about are spawning you with a silenced sniper with full ammo which makes the map extremly easy imo, i played almost all of the top rated maps with my cousin and we beat them all in 1-3 tries maxinum , they are cool but they are very easy imo, i dont know maybe i missed some of the new ones. I dont think you can beat infiltrated in 1 try, i think nobody can, the map forces you to explore and to find new ways to infiltrate the base to have better results.
I would say the Top Rated are just right for a FPS game (in Hard mode)
Infiltrated? there are a few versions/mods of Infiltrated out there and I usually make it first go coz I know/played that map a few times!
good on ya for all your efforts but keep it reasonable for all gamers even the older ones like me being close to 60yo and still kicking it - I am number 2 in the Ubi Club Leader Board

okay have a good weekend!
60 years old? Maaan, thats me in the future :D I will try my best to keep everyone happy in future maps :) (i meant that you cant beat infiltrated when you havent played it atleast 2-3 times to just learn the map, did you 1 try-to-beat infiltrated on the first time you launched into the map? If you did then you are a beast of a player even if you are 60 :D )
You are perfectly right, MM, the first time a good map is difficult to survive, you need to figure out the best approach, some maps need two attempts especially if Outposts. However Infiltrated never was a hard territory for me coz the soldiers' AI is flat n cozy :)
I am actually glad to hear that :D I hope we will have more AI options in the next editor :)
