Re: Against the clock

I don't see this ever coming to fruition because of a few things.

1. Immense amount of custom statics and such.
2. BF engine collisions really suck and an entirely indoor map would strain it really badly.
3. BF doesn't really have indoor lighting so every single par of it would have to be lightmapped in max, I don't even know the specifics of that...
4. Lore, it never really happened that way in the Starwars universe.

Re: Against the clock

Hey, how about all those threads about the same thing.

Re: Against the clock

How about this for an "against the clock" type map?  I had posted this in another thread, yet I think it fits more nicely here.

I wrote:

Can one Hoth map involve the Rebels prepping the transports for takeoff in a race against time? 

It could be that a Reb gets into a transport and has to stay in it while it is "loaded" with evacuees, perhaps over 5 minutes time.  In the meantime he and another Reb could man the turrets, holding off waves of Imps until the transport is ready to take off...  Or until it's premature destruction.

For all I know that's how it already is, or you guys have a better idea, I dunno, I'm pretty out-of-the-loop.  I'm just tired of Conquest maps, I want some Defend and Destroy maps for once.
