[MOD] Galaxy Wars - Rising Doom

Galaxy Wars, "Rising Doom", is the first in the Galaxy Wars epic series.
The story begins in Bloodgulch. After several years of tournaments in this environment, United Nations Space Command decides to take its spartan gladiator tournaments to the air, and eventually to outer space. Unbeknownst to the spartans, UNSC is using them for their own imperialistic purposes... Your mission is to develop your flight skills as fast as possible in preparation for your future space combat missions.

Features three (unfortunately CE) vehicles: epelican, pyro gx and venture. Changes mostly vehicle physics and some weapon and fog meta data.

Enjoy!

Not working i can't join your server :(

EDIT: not to be mean or anything but this mod is bad. all you've done is import some CE vehicles and made the jump higher. also the pelican spams PYRO's instead of rockets which creates lag. the Pyro's Camera track is terrible, the weird jet type vehicle is too slow, the pelican is too big for bloodgulch! i know it's a map to be played before galaxy wars but honestly it's not worth the 8.6mb's of hard drive space it used up.
Sorry.

It's pretty fun to play if you replace the pelis with the pyros and then play against others. Not really a mod in my mind, more of a demo, but fun to play around with.

Well, the thing is, I actually modded the CE imports, so it's still technically a mod.

There are some glitches here that I wouldn't have been able to test before releasing unless I had alpha testers: messed up grenades (I don't think I'll be able to fix this, I might as well redo the map again and release a new version) due to plugin issues; the pyro gx doesn't sync when fired from the pelican's weapon (and no, it's not really spamming them since each peli only releases one pyro gx per game); and some improvements to be made: the banshee could be replaced with an anti-air gun or improved (I'm leaning toward the anti-air gun) - basically, I need to readjust shields or make the balance more even between ground troops and flying vehicles.

Sorry for the confusing wall of paragraph, but, er, well, legibility costs extra with my posts :P O_)

EDIT: I'm kindof disappointed that the pyro gx doesn't sync when fired as a projectile from a weapon. That was the starting point for this mod's being. I'll have to remove the epelican and leave the two flying vehicles - a third, the banshee, would be nice, too. I'll do some more experimenting and testing before the next revision of this mod.

Any other suggestions, besides less fog?

Sure, we can say it's technically a mod, but is it really? Technically, it might be a mod, but practically, it seems more like a CE import mod; most of the changes you made were minor (changing the speed and ROF of projectiles, adding a Pelican base with a ramped up Shade), leaving some somewhat awkward game-play centred around 4 CE vehicles. Sure, there's not a lot of CE, but since the focus is centred on those 4 vehicles, it's just a toned down CE import mod.

That, sir, sounded like a troll. Constructive criticism and flaming are completely different, and all of us should be giving the former.

Just doesn't work in Blood Gulch, Spark. Honestly this would be cool if it was in space and you could spawn about 16 of those jet thingies, fix the camera track (because IMO it's waaayy too far out right now) and make some epic space bases, complete with turrets and stealth passenger shuttles for some epic tactical CTF games. I'm hoping that's what you're going to do.


Or we could just loop the loop for 30 minutes..

As they are... eh, sure. Just give credit to whomever you feel deserves it.
