30 Minutes to Discover Underwater Glitch, Four hours to create the original map, Three Hundred Thirty Six hours waiting for the map to get tested by the Tester’s Guild, Five hours to edit the map, and then another Ten hours of final tweaking and testing.http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g407/xPooLiFiiieDx/Reach%20Map%20Amazon%20River/reach_24263024_Full.jpg

Now lets get to the game play of this map.

Here Is a 6 Minute Video of the Game Play

This is the Initial Spawn Camera

Using the Underwater glitch, the zombies spawn underwater, taking the role of the Piranhas.

The Humans Spawn Above the water.

The area above the water is engulffed in a Safe Haven. This allows the humans to kill the “Piranhas” as they leap out of the water.

If the humans fall into the water, they are in Piranha territory and are unable to kill them. However, there are two ways to get out of the water if you fall in. These ramps are very risky as well. These ramps are indicated underwater by very bright White lights.

The “Piranhas” goal is to kill all of the “Fishers” above the water.

The Humans get a motion sensor with a low distance, to get a general idea of where the “Piranhas” are if they are nearby.

On the other hand, the humans have a way point above them to show the fish where they are located.

Now Some Action Shots









And that’s the gist of it! I hope you all enjoy!

this map is incredibly fun. I give it 2 thumbs up and I recomend it to any one who wants to have a fun custom game to play with thier freinds.

Thankyou Oceanic :slight_smile: Anyways, I wish they added the BBCode because this post would look 50 times better, and people wouldn’t have to click on every link.

I havent donloaded it yet, im not doubting its fun factor, but this took 300+ hours??

I dont want to sound mean or come across as rude but its a box outside of forgeworld in the glitched ocean with pillers jutting out inside… I just cant see how it took 300 hours…10 hours to make and playtest maybe is all i can see. I mean to each his own if it took you300 hours all the better but HOW?

Also Your video shows tremendous lag on your character, which i can tell is caused by network issues but its unbarrable to watch more then a minute with your character jumping from one area to the next all glitchy, its always best to upload a clean copy without network issues to try and keep people satisified in knowing your map isnt full of lag, believe me proof is ALWAYS in the video. If someone doubts your map because of lag, showing them a copy that doesnt glitch helps reassure your map is smooth.

Sorry about that. The reason was not my player, but the game was theatre recorded a different person in 1st person, and not me, and I was AFK for part of the game. I have rendered Videos which can be found:

VIDEO 2

VIDEO 3

The only problem with those, are that they are of the unfinished map.

The map took a total of 300 Hours of waiting for the map to get tested from a website called Forgehub.

I also have a better thread on a different website (Forgehub) And I’ll Link it. It has very good BB Coding so the post looks much better. Hope This Helps :slight_smile:

well unfortunantly for you this thread is for nonsense really but its original was for posting cool pitures or awsome maps or beast montages but they entire thread has gone to hell

ah…that makes more sense…forgehub can be reliable but its always best to play test the map yourself, with a SMALL group of trusted friends, Just because you really dont want an advanced copy floating around that people can easily claim as there own even with original auther people can HEX edit the name to whatever they want. My best advice is just release the map after you personally play test it and just have fun.

PS: Forgehub has gone downhill, xforgery is a better one.

I actually posted it on xForgery as well, and they haven’t gotten much viewers either. I use Forgehub because it seems to have a much larger Community. I also have not noticed a downfall. Anyways, that was probably my best author.
