wow! I saw it and I like how the map is well open! very nice! A couple bugs, you can pass through the caved in rocks at the starts and see outside the map. and I think you should add in a few more weapons to the outside rim of the map and one in the exact center right here:

haha!! thanks for checking out the map! Yeah I forgot about the rocks at the start! crap! i think I also forgot about taking the playerstart out as well.. haha! I'll def. keep extra weapons in mind! As for the torque bow, I'll prob. wait a bit for some people to play to see the game flow and get a majority vote! :D Thanks again!

Alright, so i ran into a dilemma. I can't run Gears of War at my school from some odd reason.. every time i start up the game, it ends up crashing on me for some odd reason.. SO.. i was wondering if someone could test out my map and see if it works as a multiplayer map.. meaning starting the game, and running it as an official Team Deathmatch map. I know this is extreamly n00b, and i wouldn't be asking this otherwise, but I could really use the help on this! Thanks!

Nick:o:o

i will test it for you, i was actually trailing this through the editor last night i gotta say its an awesome layout, i like where the torque bow and the sniper is placed.

i just gotta get some ppl together for a test

[HANx]

awesome light effects!

[Warsmith]

When me and Villan played it there was an "interesting" bug. For some reason our characters torsos would jump a few metres in a random direction every so often.

[alifebythesword]

really? hmm.. alright! where exactly do you jump around? are you in cover when u jump around, or no? I have ran into a few collision problems in the map, for example when you reload at the top of the stairs in the middle, the reload mesh floats in air. also if you change weapons in the same location, the weapon will float in mid air.. does anyone know a solution to this problem? could it be an error with the editor? thanks for your help peeps!

[LiquidLeary]

This map will be good with a little more polish. Keep it up.

Texture popping occurs on about 75% of the meshes when playing in-game. Looks fine playing in the editor though.

Also, there are several meshes which do not have collision. The player can almost hide in a few of them.

I also experience some weirdness when picking up the boom near the stairs. Seemed a little better if I moved it elsewhere.

[ViLLaN]

yeah we ran into a little bit of weapon floating and also torso cutting in half problems, keep working on it as this has an excellent gameplay lay out.

[alifebythesword]

hey! i fixed the collision errors! but I'm not sure what could be causing those tesxture popping errors... any suggestions on how to fix those? yeah, i'm not sure why the weapons do that.... seems a little honky... :P

[ViLLaN]

if i could help i would, this map looks great if you could somehow incorporate bots/endurance it would be awesome.

[Clarion Commander]

One of the best looking maps out there.
Some more detail on the floor and it's perfect.

[Ciryaher]

The pictures are looking promising. I wanted to download the map but the link is gone. There is only the map KillahHillz in your FileFront profil. Please upload the map again because there is a lag of good maps for this great game.

[alifebythesword]

Sorry it's taken so long to reply! Thanks for the input! Yeah i know that the map link is dead! I'm gonna re-post it later on when i get off of work! :D I'm currently working on another death match, but I'm kind of torn on what kind of map i should do. I was thinking either a city warzone like jacinto, a hospital, a forest scene or a spooky graveyard.. what do you guys think? let me know!! :D:D:D

[NeW ViLLaN]

great map though i had some problems with this map a couple of months ago when i tested it, it had some weird glitchy things going onbut im a test it again soon as possible im going to do a post to get people in the action of playing custom content for Gears PC

Gears 2 kinda did a flop

[Ciryaher]

A city warzone like jacinto would fit the best into Gears of War, and I think you have the skills to do that in a proper way.

[DeMiZe28]

Can you fix the download? Link is broken.

[Crayfish]

This is a very impressive space you've created. It would make a great SP_campaign map too. Perhaps even better suited to SP since there might be a danger of it becoming an out and out sniper rush - domination game.. duno.
Its big enough to host an indoor reaver battle, how cool would that be!

Getting alot of the same errors as the other posters, texture pop and wierd floating weapons. Hope these issues can be sorted out since this has huge potential.

You actually downloaded this? Where at? The link isn't working for me whenever I try :\

It was part of a map pack that now seems to be offline. So I've uploaded it here to download:
http://files.filefront.com/MP+Capitalrar/;12897763;/fileinfo.html

Good quality maps like this should have a permanent home. Its a shame that gowpc.com (or whatever it was called) is offline now. Too many maps get lost. Unreal has many 'map sites' there really should be atleast one for GOW...

[autechrr]

This is an awesome map. The one thing that i can see that need repairing is that there is something going on with the post process or something. Texture get blurry as you get close to them. If you step away they apear sharp again.
