fighting in the shade of an isd would be pretty cool.

Sorry for the offtopic comment but; back when we were working on the mod for BF2 our then Lead Coder SchRifle added a ISD to gulf of Ohman It took up almost the etire map length wise. An incredibly threatening image in the sky.

Anywho...an ISD? That would be so awesome. In entha, just look at how big that corvette is now that the size is scaled up to accurate proportions. Insane, right? Now consider the size of the ISD that completely dwarfs the corvette, now that ITS size is accurately scaled. Holy-freakin-crap. O_o

If there ever is a crashed ISD on a map it will probably be Victory class, because they are the ones that can enter atmospheres, a bit smaller, but still pretty much as big as 1/4 of teh entire map if it's set on the ground.

FYI. Space maps are scaled MUCH larger than the ground maps are, so an ISD on a space map may take up only a small area, but on the ground if a map is that big the textures screw up and the lightmaps don't work right. So the ground maps still have to be kinda small in comparison.

I take credit for planning to get there 1st , But R2-ZVD2 gets credit for running up there 1st , as soon as he heard me propose how i would be getting there. I tried and tried and couldnt make it at 1st.
The craziest stuff is on tatooine , where only today I discovered what some people might find to be a trap , to actually be a fortress that a crew of people could fortify, and launch raids from.
Its a very short distance from wattos junkyard, but also pretty close to THe slave quarters too.
Even if they knew you were back there , youd be safe unless they figure out how to get in to the area.
Theres only like 2 ways in , and 1 way out .

I've had many sniping sessions on the Corvette. I spent several hours climbing all over it finding my way to the tip top of the communications and sensor array as well as the middle set of engines. I won't take the credit for being the first explorer up there but I did take the liberty to take some fellow teammates on a short tour. Wonderful view! That is also one of the most beautiful landmarks/map designs to me. The giant ship dwarfing the surrounding buildings is stunning. Amazing piece of work and many credits to the folks who put that together!

Seriously, though, I feel a bit like that guy from Assassin's Creed sometimes playing Mos Espa. There are some areas where the mapper(s) have made it really easy to get onto roofs, and then from rooftop to rooftop. Just another great thing with that wonderful map.

But no, I'm not going to tell you where.

its not a glitch .
Its getting traction on walls that have sloping intersections, and using objects your wouldnt think were usable as steps.

Now , a glitch is when I put the walker up on top of the tall buildings at the slave quarters. LOL

Ummm... Not all that special...

I have been doing that since the testing builds

I also showed my clanmates some sneaky places to get to before a clan match a few months ago.

I don't think a guide is needed, let the nooblets figure it out themselves.

Having discovered that on tatooine, I have spiderman-like powers to scale walls and get atop buildings, my head became larger.
Large enough to lead me in my building scaling exploits to a certain building taller than the ones surrounding it ... and it had a mysterious opening that led to a spiral staircase. falling down into this never seen before building I quickly realized people have been here before. My head deflated to a little smaller than original. Was my spider like climbing of walls not such a big deal ? I needed to know.
How many people actually know how to climb corners?
Or get atop the corvette on Mos Entha ?
Being able to quickly and skillfully get into these positions can really help your team.
We will set up a course, like a trials bike course , and generate a map to follow.
If we have enough people capable of running the course at all , we will hold a race.
Before all this happens , I will publish a quick and dirty beginners guide on getting around
( in case you didnt know ) and what techniques to use to make certain hops.

Ive found the most effective soldiers we those who used every area of the battlefeild to their advantage, being denied little of the map.
Our own team supporting the FSL has been experimenting on ways to do things you wouldnt think possible in the way of jumps and climbing things.
We challenge anyone to a friendly game of donkey kong.
The focus will be on Mos espa , with maybe an extension of mos entha.
The corvette is just too hard to resist.
If they had a crashed star destroyer ( omg an idea ) I would figure out how to get on the very top.

a crashed ISD , now thats an idea , all gutted out with some hallways and rooms plus these massive open areas for gun battles ...

Anyway practice your climbing, and if you think you have it in you, lets meet for fun.
Post any screen shots or videos you take , I will do the same.
