"Rubble" SP level Download!

[NewPCGamer]

EDIT: this is suppose to be in the Beta Forums!! Sorry.


After TONS of hours of work, I'm proud to share my single player level titled "Rubble"

The goal: Lead Cole and yourself to the APC. The problem:Locusts are swarming the entire building that was once the City Hall. You will need to fight through the courtyard to gain entrance to the City Hall where you will than need to kill all locusts in the area.
Good luck soldier.

Download and enjoy. I have to say that i wasn't able to figure out checkpoints, so there are none. Sorry. If you are really having that hard of a time beating it, just open up the editor, and in the kismet level startup that i made just connect the level startup to god mode. Its already there.
*Remember that im only a 15 year old kid that has only been using the editor for a month or so. ;)
Feedback is welcomed!!
thanks

special thanks to BrendanL, Thaur, far, Taffer, Epic games, Mysticaly, and SportingSCP.

Looks great! Can't wait to play it.

get rid of the piont of intrest unless it doesnt have to stop you or when you press Q or Y. the boomers killed me because it stopped me. maps lookes awsome.

[NewPCGamer]

k thanks for the feedback. Ill make that correction. Do you know how i can cook th map? so i can play it outside of the editor?

[MASTER DAMAGE]

It looks pretty good. Im dl'ing it now. Will test it out tomorrow afternoon and post my review of it. Keep up the great work;)

[far]

Amazing map, you have added some serious action there NewPCGamer :)

Lots of nice improvements, i like it.

Just what we need is to get a full working checkpoint system so we can all make our levels much more user friendly.

[Zackiz]

Ok, i've been playing it a couple of time now. Really cool stuff :) Though when you are forced to look at an new emergence hole can get frustrating sometimes. It's a cool effect, but it interrupts the gameflow. you need to apply a new materials to you emergence holes also, they are very easy to spot as of now. I loved the that there was 3 boomers in the stairs, which means you can get boomshot with full ammo, great :) Maybe you should check the AI of the theron on the tower in the beginning, he doesn't seam to do anything when you stand behind the fountain, but have a clear line of sight.

Overall, this is a fun map to blast through :) Great work!

[NewPCGamer]

thanks for the comments far. do you think there is anything that needs to be improved? I already fixed the boomer error, and i figured out how to make marcus use the tac com during the walking part. so if there is anything else that neeeds fixing post it up! :)

[Thaur]

Amazing map! my favorite custom SP map so far (aside from my own haha).

The "Boomers!" sound from marcus actually happened a long time after I first saw them and had been fighting them, because I didn't step on the trigger for a while

I liked the fact that there was sort of a puzzle to kill the boomers (climbing up behind the dumpster). I would have been angry if there wasn't something like that, because the first time I didn't see it and ran in there and instantly died. However, the boomers did not move any so I just shot them and they stood there. Check your collission and pathing.

When Anya says "You remember the mission don't you?" I actually didn't remember, so I was stuck thinking "what is the mission?" until later. Not a big deal because all you really need to do is kill stuff.

"And I'm spent" sound Marcus says seems out of place, as it doesn't happen right as you kill the boomers, but later when you walk down a hallway.

The trap with the room full of bodies and the wretches was great. Little bastard snuck up on me and almost killed me.

Great architecture and cover. Lots of fun. I just think the lighting is a little bit stale (White), as is the final hallway with the APC. If you have time, you could make a courtyard with a gate that the APC is sticking through instead of just a hallway.

[NewPCGamer]

thanks for the response. ive been workin on that boomer battle a bit more, and it seems that i have fixed some of the problems you have had. When you say you climbed on the dumpster what do you mean? I didnt really mean to make a "puzzle " to kill the boomers. lol. thanks again for the feedback. ill take it all into consideration.

[BloodRaven14]

oh, and The ending is supurb. SPOILERS: The way Marcus turned his head at the Beserker that basicly just trapped him. And the way his head it stalled there

Well, it was a puzzle for me because at first I didn't even look closely at the rocks next to the dumpster, I had no idea I could climb on the rocks to get a good angle to shoot at them. First I took a lap around the map to see if there was another way, then I made a break for it after the boomers shot, but one of them caught me with a rocket. The second time I looked around more closely and realized I could climb up there, so I was happy about that.

[NewPCGamer]

maybe i should put a blocking volume on those rocks. lol. The best way to kill the boomers is to just hide behind the cover in the hallway that leads to the boomers. There is one piece of cover on the right side that makes it much easier to kill them from.

[MASTER DAMAGE]

I'm almost betting that you've already been told this, but it needs checkpoints. Numerous time I went to pic up cole and have been sniped in the head out of no where. The map is really good though. Hopefully someone will figure out how to use checkpoints soon so we can all use them.

[Taffer]

I am unsure of how to use them, but there most definitely are people in the community that know how to use checkpoints. Theinterlock, for one, uses them in his Raven Search map. I would send him a pm on how to do them if you are unaware.

[AnarchysKing]

i've downloaded other maps, but i've forgotten where to put it, and also what program should i use to download it, i've got zipeg

Can you please tell me where? I can't find them and I have looked trough it...

TheInterlock, if there are checkpoints, please help us!

[Thaur]

I don't think the checkpoints on the interlock's map works. I loaded a checkpoint after I died from a battle and the enemies never spawned again like they did the first time.

[Zackiz]

They don't work because there aren't any. What you are talking about some kind of strange state that i have expericened to, wiithout checkpoints at all.

[iHOST]

Just got finshed playing this and id like to say very nice work. everything was perfect the battle the music, Just wish that berserker would have attack at the end. Great Job

[NewPCGamer]

thanks man i appreciate it! its kind of an old level, but im glad you were able to pull it out of the forums and play it. :)

[LiquidLeary]

Is there an active link available?

[iHOST]

http://gears.levels4you.com/downloads.l4y?file=16857

I used this link for the DL but i had to register.

Yeah i think i got just about every SP addon i could to help me with ideas ect, Just started on the editor its going pretty well :)

[LiquidLeary]

Thanks man. I should have checked there. :)

[Taffer]

Damn, NewPCGamer! Didn't know you were still on these forums.

[iHOST]

Taffer re-up station LNC2 please links dead again thanks

[Abyssal Nova]

Just finished downloading the map, I'll install it and play it in a few minutes because I need to eat, but judging by the feedback it looks to be a real fun experience :)


Edit: Just now got to playing it. This is actually a really good map! I thought it was a wee bit short but it was otherwise well made, especially if it's a first map. Like the others addressed, it would be nice to have it where you aren't forced to pause and look at the PoI, but that's really my only complaint :D

[Ghostofdelta2]

Downloading it now, hope to be able to finish it tonight

[NewPCGamer]

Damn, NewPCGamer! Didn't know you were still on these forums.

haha yeah im still here man! i check the forums out a couple times a day but dont really get much of an opportunity to post. ive been busy as ever but still have been dabbling in the editor here and there so honestly i havnt improved much. Everyone here is getting really good and thats tight to see. Ive been workin on a UT3 map just because my Gears editor likes to crash every 10 minutes which really bothers me, and thats my main reason for not pushing out any gears maps lately.
Im going to try to post and comment on everyones maps more since im finally on summer break so expect to see me on here more. And thanks for checking out my level! its pretty old, but i still have some pride in it. :p

Just glad to hear from you again; a lot of the older members have moved on which is unfortunate. Some would quietly sneak away in the night while others would throw up their arms in contempt and scream that Epic screwed them, but it is nice to see people still sticking around.

Moving to UT3 is a smart move, honestly. I'm still working away on Gears but I think I'll go buy UT3, considering how it's dirt-cheap now, and maybe begin a map with it, too.

Best of luck!

Ut3 Black Edition has lots of great deals on Steam, it was just recently 50% off @ 10$, and that same deal was around about 2 months before. I wouldn't be surprised if that deal showed up again before too long. Though one thing's for sure, it kind of sucks that most of the community hangs out on UT3... :(
