(Donnovan) #1

Video from the first match of the Nirvana Showdown event. Map was Tem Jungle, by Mop. Taw as Strogg and Nirvana as GDF.

The video covers two players, one from GDF team and one from Strogg team.

There is some extra content to make you happy.

You can see video here:

On map overview - Newers can have a remain doubt about what team must get the documents. Sorry for that.
On narrator - Sleep voice.

Nice. Could be the next Avatar :wink: Thanks.


(Szakalot) #3

so, what was the result?


(light_sh4v0r) #4

Nice, the 720p version doesn’t work for me though :frowning:
I really like the intro, that was well done. Didn’t see any clips of someone taking the docs and transmitting them though, double full hold? :wink:

The topic is misleading, the match was to showcase the maps not about winners and losers.


(Apples) #6

Me like it, 1st fail for me, geting crushed under my own crate :wink:

Cant wait for the next.

Nice vid Donnovan! And the new intro is much better than the first one, well done.

btw where did you find the picture of that nirvana fortress?


(Donnovan) #8

Szakalot, Light_Shavor,

Taw won the match. The last scene is the stroggs (2 of then) running with the docs to the transmiter. It does not show the transmition.

Scrupus, this is a image from Tibet, i found it on the net.

Chris, you is right, it’s mostly a custom map showcase.

He probably meant we finished the map (made the transmission). Although you guys did it even faster :-p


(Donnovan) #11

Oh! Thanks for solving the misunderstand RnDnA :slight_smile:


(heXen) #12

very nice!!! realy! :smiley:


(Szakalot) #13

Chris, everyone knows the map is awesome! :slight_smile:

I only played it a couple of times, and i realised from the start the potential for map-changing ambushes, crossfires and surprise flanks.


(.Chris.) #14

Not everyone does, there are some more videos incoming of the other maps that were played, all of which we hope will slowly bring a few players into the realm of custom content, It maybe a little late in day for ET:QW but hopefully it can change some attitudes in preparation for upcoming titles so they would be more inclined to give custom content a go for free before splashing out money for DLC and ‘WISH OFFICIAL MAPS’.


(Donnovan) #15

I believe Team Jungle is well know, or not well know, like all the others main ETQW custom maps.

I also believe many custom players likes it, in many ways, but it’s far from be the most aclaimed custom map for ETQW, may be because it’s too small.

But again, it’s a very wisely work by Mop, and i hope he have 5 minutes to see the movie :c)


(brbrbr) #16

i wonder what common have Swedish fighter-bomber on second picture and TAW clan.


(MoP) #17

Awesome video guys! Hope you enjoyed playing it :slight_smile:

I know it’s far from the best map for a proper team game, especially when there are some really good custom ETQW maps out there which have multiple objectives and good balancing, they are a blast to play.

Hopefully I can find the time to do a final pass on this map to sort out the balancing and make stuff a little clearer and better looking (need to finish that plane…), I think it can make a fun little warmup map for 4v4 or just a friendly blast when you don’t have much time.
Maybe I can get bot support working properly too… :slight_smile:


(Donnovan) #18

You mean the Taw logo at the botton? It appears always with the Nirvana Lo9go (a monastery).


(.Chris.) #19

Don’t forget to add nice plane model with texture!

Thanks for your comment Mop! Map is beautifull, is what people are saying!! This movie is having a more better time than the previous one, and i believe is the map what catched people out there. Music may help, edition too, but map made then grow their eyes on the screen and say “DO WANT”!
