Well you know what they say about great minds?  

Except, my map was meant to have a fortress, not a bunker.  I thought that a castle type structure would be more exciting and fit in with the Warhammer 40K theme.  

Ooh, I hereby celebrate my 100th post! I'm officially a Marine and my name is justified!

Cool I have been mapping all day and have got some results, they may not look good but I have been trying to match up.

We're all very eager to see your work, so by all means gift us with screen shots!

That way we can comment and constructively criticise as well!

I was just realizing earlier when I tested it, it sucked, but its only on the first stage.
I need more room for the tyranids to move around, and some bigger tunnels so the fex can get inside the base and slaughter everyone once he jumps out of his hole. Ill give the ending away, the base blows up and everyone dies, no thunderhawk no harpy comming to save them they all DIE. And no I am not mad right now, it may seem like that but I ain't  

*Edit* Ill make a new thread or post thingy once I have a bit more on it, won't be long, should get it good by this week, Monday---Friday. Hammers also being stupid, making move by brushes and objects while holding alt key when I am not holding it :C

That doesn't really offer any motivation for winning does it?    Which means people won't play the map.

I mean, what is the point in fighting off the Tyranids if at the end you just die anyway?

I guess you're right (dang most of the time I agree with you!, I don't think I have a choice though, im a marine, you're a space marine.) maybe I might change it, it depends on what people think. I was gone most of the day though so I didn't have much time to work.

P.S. Hey do you guys know what Google sketch up is about? I was exploring it today and it got my interest.

You should be able to find everything here, it is a neat little program tbh - http://sketchup.google.com/

Also, I would suggest some kind of objective or goal with a reward.  Perhaps there is precious gene seed in the base that needs protecting and that is why the Ultramarines are seeking to defend it so desperately.  I am sure we can make writing appear on the screen when the objective is won, it could say something like 'The gene seed is safe, the Chapter's future is secured!'

Or something along those lines...

I have been exploring Google sketch up and it kinda confuses me, I really just want to know the purpose of it that's all.
I think I might cancel the map, its not that good and I have not really been able to work on it at all. Ill give you the .vmf and others but its really no use.

Badies:
(this ones for me) when ever I try to move a prop it does the holding alt key thing when I am not holding it.
The maps a little small, not very neet or detailed, since I've only had a few days to work on it.

!!!PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU ARE GOING TO FINISH THIS MAP OR POST IT ON THE EXTERMINATUS FORUM!!!
