Market Garden For ET

(jimerb) #1

I’m hopefull that Splash Damage will read this and reply.

It would be really cool if you re-released Market Garden to work with ET.

I can envision things like tanks rolling over the bridge and lots of stuff like that.

Even if it was just the way it is – but running on ET, that would be fantastic.

Over at Charter Communications Miami we ran that map as the staple of our community and we would love to have it back.

If that sounds interesting and you would like a zillion ideas about doing that, the folks at charter would love to provide input into the design. We have played that map probably more than anyone else and I know for a fact that the regulars there have TONS of opinions on what would be cool and play well.

Look forward to a response.

Yeah if you all at SD get that free time between projects or whatever a remake of Market Garden for ET would be sweet. I always loved the way that mapped looked and felt, I just didnt like the way it played out in RTCW…lots of potential for it in ET me thinks. :cool:

You are not the first to ask and certainly wont be the last. :wink:

At the moment there is no plans by Splash Damage to convert the RTCW Marketgarden map to ET.

IMHO:

As with most most things… if it’s been done… there are those who can make it better. The fact that SD doesn’t want to impact other projects by going back to redo MG is sensible…

Someone creating an city battle map with dual goals, twisty passages, big bridges, lots of water, diverging paths, hidey holes, etc would certain be welcome.

However, just porting the MG map to ET would be very wasteful of ET’s new capabilities and we would probably tire of it quickly… not to mention how the new classes would be wasted or even lay waste to the the logic of the map as it is today.

I’ve played some games for hours without a win… Can you imagine what Landmines, Sachel Charges and mortars would do? I game could last half a day!

If a map like MG was created for ET, then it would need re-designing for the new features of the game. As pwillard has said, it would indeed be a shame for someone to simply just port the map over. It could be alot more fun with team doors, buildable constructions etc.

I’m sure there will be a lot of such maps as soon as the tools are released.

But Marketgarden for ET will not happen, because SD is now doing a nice project for the Doom III Engine?!. :wink:
Sounds like they pulled a big fish. :clap:

Thanks for the update. May I suggest thinking it over?

If you reach a final decision not to develop market garden any further, how about releasing the source files to the mapper community to let them further develop it?

After all, why let the map simply die? It had a huge following on our server and in our forums there are people who have expressed that they miss it already.

r_speeds somewhere near reasonable would be cool as well. :wink:
