Maps That Won't Make it to Public Beta 4

Aro · Alcohol Fueled **Joined**: 10 Sep 2006

Over time, the quality of our maps have greatly improved which has left several of our older maps in the dust both visually and in terms of playability. We have decided to cut these maps from Twisted Insurrection and they will no longer be included in the future releases, but as they still took a lot of work and people may enjoy them personally, I'm putting them up for download here.

The maps that have been cut are the following:

Arden River [Older Version] (Visually redundant)
Hazard (Visually redundant)
Pakal-Witz (Visually redundant & poor playability)
Midnight Fury (Poor playability)
The Edge (Visually redundant & poor playability)
Climbatize (Visually redundant & poor playability)
Arkus Wastes (Visually redundant & poor playability)
Plexus (Visually redundant & poor playability)
Pentagram Redux (Visually redundant)
Zeta City (Visually redundant & poor playability)

More maps may be cut and or remade in the future, if that is the case I will upload them to this topic.

The worst problem with Arden River is that it's imbalanced. The left side is much closer to the middle (which is offers a crucial advantage) than the right side.
Hazard could be remade from the scratch. It's kind of cramped with narrow paths and limited routes.
Pakal-Wiz...well, that's just plain ugly.
Midnight Fury would be good without the Ion Storm and the unrealistic transition between a lush forest and the dead hillside. The five-player setting not very balanced either.
The Edge could be modified to make it a four-player map, or bring the third player closer to the other two players on the left (somewhere like the civilian outpost in the middle).
There's nothing to prevent the two players from choosing to team up and destroy the middle player in Climbatize. It could be edited into an Unfair Advantage -type map, i.e. give the middle player a clear advantage over the two, so it can stand a chance.
All Arkus Wastes really needs is a facelift. It's an OK map with an interesting way of keeping all the resources in the middle.
I don't know what to do with Plexus. It could be edited into a wide four-player (2 vs 2) map, with better visuals.
Pentagram Redux is not the shiny remake I was expecting to see. The Pentagram should be more visible, and the terrain and Tiberium placement reminds me too much of TS.
Zeta City is good, but I don't like the actual city. The paved cliffs are far too serpentine for my taste.

I liked Zeta City and Plexus,I hope Zeta City will be remastered(or totally different with the same name because I love the city maps) Smile

and Plexus I just liked the unfair advantage of making a base on the center outpost.

I downloaded these maps, and can open them in map editor, but not in game. Are they not compatible with Public Beta 4?

Try renaming their file type from map to mpr.

.MAP files need to be listed in missions.pkt in order to show up in-game. If you'd rather avoid having to do that, simply do what Erastus suggested.

What do you mean by "listed in missions.pkt"? I tried doing what Erastus said, but that causes the game to freeze when I open it.

there's a file called missions.pkt. It can be opened with notepad, and you will see a list of all .map type maps that appear ingame. If a particular .map isn't listed, it will not appear in the ingame list.
