My Notes:

This map has fully functioning checkpoints! Props to the folks on the forums for their insights and tutorials covering level streaming.

Still like my first SP map, Dom just goes AWOL sometimes... other times he feels like helping out....still confused about this.

Overall the map is pretty solid both visually and in terms of gameplay. If you have any comments and or items of feedback for anything please let me know and when I get time I may do another pass on this like I did for Industrial.

So have fun and go kick some locust ass! Install instructions are in the read me. Just make sure to copy all four map files otherwise this won't work. :) Any questions feel free to post here or PM me.

Cheers!

I promise I will ;) I got the most of them on HDD, I just need more time to add shots and descriptions. Right now I have to focus on my deadline at work, so I'll be uploading subsequent maps during the weekend.

the first map played is industrial, then lance-pipeline. still play it today. great map...
1. daylight,so you can check all the detail clearly,
2. big, you got a lot of place to go,
3, official quality level design, no doubt mozi is so good at this, hope more bot maps like this.

[darksin]

just played it, it's short and finished in 10 min, not many locust, no tough battle, most time you watch sceneries,

level design is great, no bugs met ,works perfect and optimized well,if you give mozi enough time, he can rebuild all gears 2 level.finally thx mozi bringing this map, hope long battle in future.

Hey Mozi, I finally got some time to play your map. :)

The landscape is dense and spans a pretty good distance. It would definitely take a while to finish with more enemies. The only minor issue I encountered was a checkpoint that appeared while enemies were still alive.

The lighting transition works well as you progress, and the paths were clearly visible with some tight battle zones. Overall, it's much more colorful than the Epic maps, which felt a little different to me. I'm used to the stronger desaturation of the stock maps.

Awesome map for sure. Good job. :D

this map crashes my game. :(

edit: your other map crashes it too. weird.

Thanks for the feedback. I have gotten some requests that sky is not fitting and I agree but I gave it my best shot to bring a daytime feel to Gears. If I get time I will try to brighten up the sky a bit.

Odd... sorry to hear that. Did you try running it from the editor?

If that crashes again let me know via PM and I'll try to get an uncooked copy up.

It's strange that sometimes cooked files work other times it's uncooked. Not sure why that is...

[BurnedInternal]

played the sp chapter i liked it alot i was just stuttering quite a bit you should look into working with cull distances with big maps like that;)

[Jae2Fly]

noob question. how can i get this on my system?

[smurf plastic]

Looks amazing. I love the urban and forest environments.

Thanks for the comment!

[NastyNoodle]

the main problem is that your lighting is too yellow for daytime

[Fartuess]

...

I haven't notice PostProcess Effect and Height Fog. Try using it. Those things will improve appearance of this map.
