UPDATE: 4-24-08
Just for you Ashrak007 I tried to fix it, It still tried to cook Cog terrian(there is none) an the cooker crashed so I dont know.........There is a couple of things I changed......*ehem, that annoying grass.

Hi everyone! This is my first completed map. You go through wave after wave of enemies testing everything in Gears to see if you've got what it takes. I'd like to thank far, NEVERISM, Kronos, BUCHO, Ashrak, Core2TOM and NewPCGamer for feedback and tips.

[Core2TOM]

hammer of dawn doesent work :(

[BloodRaven14]

I know, it starts offline on purpose. how far did you make it?

[Core2TOM]

ok sorry it works! :D ive never played to wave 20^^

the only thing thats crazy are the spawnpoints of the locusts:
after killing the last one from each wave, look into the room...looks bad...
...can you add always smoke in this room? could be better

but i like your map (believe me) its very good and makes much fun

[ZxTWO]

Could someone please host the map on Rapidshare? Filefront doesn't work for me.

[ZxTWO]

I finally got it and it crashes everytime I try to load it.

=(

[Core2TOM]

it crashes everytime I try to load it.have you installed the gow title update v1.1 and live redistributable v1.2? :confused:

[ZxTWO]

have you installed the gow title update v1.1 and live redistributable v1.2? :confused:

Do I need it?

My system lags with smoke so thats a no go. I could have made it so they come out of a grub hole but then I couldent do some of the stuff I did. I think....

[Ashrak]

Is there a way to avoid getting killed by Kryll on wave 50? Standing under lights doesn't work. :(

[navossoc]

You must correct the grass of the forest.

When you throw in front of a monster, and he is protected by the wall with the grass, it becomes invincible. There is no way to throw and hit.

Below is a picture attached, representing what I said.

PS: I have downloaded the map on the day you announced, then I do not know if there were any corrections in the meantime.

Sorry my English :)
Ah!! Good Work xD

[ZxTWO]

have you installed the gow title update v1.1 and live redistributable v1.2? :confused:

I installed the 1.1 update and all my downloaded maps work perfectly.

The Endurance map is a ****load of fun. I made it to wave 15 on my 5th attempt.

Awesome map, make more.

[BloodRaven14]

hmm, must be a glitch, the kryll ran from me when under the lights
I originally planned to take the kryll off raam but i dunno how....:(

[BloodRaven14]

wow, i might need to put this back into beta form. I diddnt expect this much good feed back. maybe ill try and make this a perfect level. Right now im making more levels so this will be awihle. TO NAVOSSOC, yeah i noticed that too right after i put it on the internet.

[Ashrak]

Well.. I was the only one left alive and I killed the Brumak and was on my way to killing RAAM. I did like the objective said and headed for the high ground. I assumed the japanese party lights? would protect me from the Kryll but no.... I died. Oh well. At least I made it to 50!! Good map but it does have a few minor glitches. If you do work on it some more please put in some checkpoints like every 10 waves. Even if you leave it as is though its still a cool map. Definately make more.

I've been thinking of making one myself but the editor looks scary! :(

[BloodRaven14]

it is at first. but once you know what to do its easy as pie. you will figure alot of stuff on your own but dont worry, the modding community is here to help lol

"Having trouble with the Gears of War Game Editor?, Don't worry, the modding community is here to help. A vaule of $1,000,000 yours for only $19.95. Thats right $19.95" lolololol


P.S. RAAM is a a big wuss so he cheats. typical Locust for ya

[Zackiz]

there is a couple of thing I can complain about but nothing serious. This is a fun map and I recommend it to people!

Yo, dude. I'm trying to get into Unreal Ed and I've learned some of the basics (making a room etc.) but I have no idea how to create enemies. Would you mind giving me a hand?

[AustraliaFou4]

where do i put the map?

It would be best if you add all the cover slots and add some path nodes first (these are the AI paths)There are some tutorials about AI in the user mod idia forums. I recommend the video tutorials by cannedmushrooms.

Thanks, broham.

I added a bunch of Generic Drones to the multiplayer map, Gridlock. I also added Cole and Carmine. It's pretty sweet.

Hmmm, for some reason, I have serious hitching/loading in the beginning few minutes of playing the map. It's really annoying, and it seems as though i'm the only one suffering from such an issue. I don't think it has anything to do with my hardware though, seeing as though this is the only map I've ever experienced this in. Specs are as follows:

Core 2 duo e6750
eVGA 8800gt
XMS Corsair 2 gigs
msi Platinum SLI board
audigy 2 value sound card

[BloodRaven14]

Its epics fault, thats all I got to say

Had that too.. goes away after a few mins though.

[Pappi_man]

Performance would increase 100% if you'd put only 1 Environment Light and Locust wouldn't drop their weapon when they die. Those are my frame per seconds droppers.
Map is great until I reach wave 30. It's where all lying weapons are giving me horrible fps.

[Ashrak]

Wave 50-God himself (are you sure you wern't using god mode?)

:cool: I Am God :cool:

Thanx for editing the map for me man... You rule.

[DP965LT]

It is nice, really great work.

[Darth Axel 007]

looks like you could have worked on the lighting a lot more, also the mesh placement seems to be a bit rushed

[darksin]

one of the best endurance maps i played a long time...

[BloodRaven14]

I havent been on this website for a long time but I want to see if I missed anything. For some reason, the game (in game, not the editor) crashes when I play my endurence level or my Maze level. My Aspho fields level works fine but if I try to play CO-OP is says that my team mate didnt download the file even though he did. Note that it is the same file. Is there anything im missing that fixes those problems sense ive been gone? Im thinking about making another map that has working checkpoints. Can anyone put up a link that shows how to do checkpoints?

[darksin]

Aspho fields is really dark, but the sky looks beautiful..
i think checkpoint is not that important for these maps ,since the gameplay is short^^...
anyway, really hope u can add more light to new maps and longer than endurenceraven, thx man.!!........

[|BOPO|]

oh damn... im at level 26 and when i tried kicking the hammer of dawn into the center for easy access, the hammer of dawn vanished into a piece of cover (a highway guard rail). now i have a berserker running around and i have no way to kill it.. Why isnt there a spare.. cmon. Its so important.

since im probably screwed, is there a way to restart from this level?
I probably wont go back to level 1 ever.

[BlackRaven]

where is the hammer of dawn? i couldnt find it anywhere when the berserker showed up
