i couldnt quite finish it completely because my hammer is bugged. sometimes when i trigger game_texts those things just bug up and crash the game... anyways theres something i wanted to ask:

is it possible to trigger level change via entities not brushes? so that i can trigger one with a multimanager?

My "Map a puzzle" entry is going to be a nice temple like dungeon, with a few open areas and lots of traps. i already have one .bsp ready and im working on the second one. I hope i go the definition of "Map a puzzle" right, what i did is mapped a temple full of moving walls, flying blocks etc. i hope thats what i was ment to do.

I would post some screenshots too, but right now, my steam is ultra retarded... it wont lauch, so ill have to get some WIP screenies later.

Hey Kids, Its Story Time!

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest material known to man. The research is as follows. Pocket-protected scientists built a wall of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond traveling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours.

They rammed a wall of metal into a 400 mile per hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted the earth's orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles per hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused two wayward airplanes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with two buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall.

The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall traveling at miles per iron, and the result proved without a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

Looks good huh?
______________
Im at the last act of quake 4 where you visit the big marines ship as a strog.
I quite like the game, its quite fun. the only thing i didnt like it the part with the tanks and the robot. i personally think that the robot and the tank looked awfull, and where just too strong. + the tank had no sound lol.

I also taught that there werent enough achievements.

Besides all that i like the game.

ok i just got quake wars today on Xbox 360.
(it comes out tomorrow... lol i have it already huh?)
User posted image
its quite ok.
i love the stogs and the way they and their weapons look.

in most game campaignes you would have a nice intro, a few talks maybe and you'd only start shooting in like 5-10 mins. this game is different. the very moment i went into the campaigne, i was already fully equipped and blasting noobs.

The sprites were bad tho. like hl1 bad.

There's also a thing about the campaigne. when you shoot an enemy youd see a "you" killed "enemy" text, and you can see enemy and friends names on top of their heads just like in the mp... but its the campaigne! so i didn't quite like that.

Architecture. what can i say. amazing.

Gameplay... hm, well i quite like it despite the fact that in some missions you have to wait half an hour just to repel your enemys when they show almost no resistance... but i guess its because i play on easy lol.

achievements... there are achievements for easy normal and hard. making the player complete all the missions on all those difficultys to acquire them all. quit off or cleaver?

I wouldnt really recomend the game, but its quite ok.

Sound: 8/10 - excellent
Sprites: 4/10 - rubbish
Models: 9.5/10 - very close to perfect
Achitecture: 9.8/10 - perfect
Story: 3/10 - almost no story except for the intro. its just "shoot for fun"
Gameplay: 8.5/10 - i liked it... what i didnt like is the un-normal speed.
all players are very fast making it harder to shoot each other and making it look sTUUPid.

7.5/10 in total.
