[ET] Hotchkiss Factory map released


(Marko) #1

Here we go… After a very long time balancing the map off, Lowlife, Bob le Roux & myself are happy to release Hotchkiss Factory.
MLB Hotchkiss - Custom map for Wolfenstein enemy territory

Created in 1871, the Hotchkiss company was designed from the very start to produce weaponry. In 1939, it had extended it’s market to machine guns, tank & cannon shells but also cars & military vehicles. This map takes place around the Saint-Denis Hotchkiss Factory, near Paris, where intensive production of several weapons had started to prepare for the german invasion.

When making this map, we decided to alter the scenario a little and use the Hotchkiss Factory for a secret missile prototype that the French would be setting up in order to knock the german BlitzKrieg strategy out. It all takes place when Axis invade France, and are arriving near the Hotchkiss factory which has already been severrely bombed by their Luftwaffe. The Axis assault squad mission is to infiltrate the Factory and retrieve a prototype of the missile before allies destroy the few models still remaining.

Axis spawn in a building which faces the first factory storage area. Allies have locked the main ways in but the bombs have breached entire walls open leaving a few ways to sneak in…


We’d like to thank all the Shit Storm clan and Heirpie for setting up all the private test sessions with over 30 players on some occasions, the -7Co- clan who was our main testing, bug reporting & feedback team but also the map design forum members (http://www.gd-experience.eu/index.php?section=1&category=11) who joined in with us for those tests, [FuN] clan, ROP clan & M8D clan.

Nice map and fun, especially for trickjumping.

Bug report:
The detonator lever can be pulled w/o having to secure the two dynamites.
