    INFORMATION

    • Replayability
    • Challenging Difficulty Curve (You will die, maybe a lot)
    • Balancing/tweaking
    • Polishing



    These are the strong focuses for Skyfall, a map series that I've spent several weeks working on, tweaking and polishing several prototypes. Once you get into playing the level, you will be spawned mid-air shortly before your wingsuit activates. From there, the choice is yours to land wherever you want within the map's boundaries. This thread is provided with a map containing all the POI (point of interests) inside the level if you are interested.

    Stashes: Regular stashes will contain 1 syringe and a small ammo. Difficult stashes will be found on top of utility poles and may be quite difficult to land on the first few tries but contains a very powerful weapon each (Vector / Barrett / ACE). These locations are also exposed and NPCs purposely are spawning facing that direction so be wary of the consequences when choosing to land on difficult stashes! You also have a bow and crossbow stash to give you more pre-detected combat options.

    Diversity: An helicopter with grenade launcher can be used for a quick bombarding run however beware of rocketers and sniper. Also a wild Rhino is found past the boundaries and can be dragged into the enemy base after teleporting back to the boundary limits. There's a risk to take when attempting to drag the rhino so be careful.

    TIPS AND FACTS

    • You may die a lot, please don't give up! This is normal, and the point of this exercise.
    • You spawn with the stealth pistol loadout containing all throwables + 2 C4 and proxy mines.
    • You only have 3 health bars, use cover to your advantage and attempt to keep a syringe reserve with you.
    • There are no additional throwable or explosive ammo pickups in the level.
    • An eagle will be immediately tamed by the hunter as it spawns, be attentive for eagle strikes!
    • Any animals spawned from the bait will be tamed by the hunter. Kill him before using baits.
    • The minimap is hidden in this scenario, but you can still turn it on from the menu if this drives you nuts.
    • There are 3 waves, 14 enemies inside the first wave, and 8 inside the others.
    • The last wave contains 2 guard snipers, dropping a powerful one-shot kill bolt-action sniper.
    • The level can be played in stealth.
    • There's no time limit, you can play however you like.

    Hey Kantham.

    Have to say this map and the way you've presented it really impressed me. The video shows off a lot of action and it does indeed look very difficult.

    I look forward to seeing future instalments of Skyfall!

    (PS - Loved the instrumental version of the song in the video)

    I played the map few hours ago and It was really diverse and fun! The attention to detail is overall astonishing. I'm definitely keeping this one amongst my favorites, great work!

    Great looking map! and I like the time of day setting and how the towns are located on a mountain slope. The attention to detail looks great also. Too bad we can't play multiplayer on it! For me, singleplayer maps are like scripted plays, you know exactly where everything is going to be and at what time (thus killing replayability). Great job on the map again!

    Thanks for the comments people,

    What did you think of the difficulty?

    The map went from 3 stars to 2 stars. 14 plays after 6 days.

    I don't think I see a point in pursuing this, no one is playing this, and the map is getting downvoted to hell. Have fun out there people...
