Marketgarden ET?

(RiZla) #1

First off, respect to SD for its part in making this fine piece of software.

The map goldrush for instance is a gamers’ dream come true. How the map unfolds,
the battles shift and come to a climax is an adventure by itself.

Enough of this licking, i was wondering if there are any plans to release a ET rendition of that RtCW SD-classic: mp_marketgarden.
It is still popular in the RtCW-scene, now with the new possibilities EToffers,
a perfect chance to give a 2nd life to this beautiful map.

Keep the map as it is, with dual objective, perhaps let allies escort a tank to the bridge
(warehouse gardens - shelled street or north courtyard) in order to blow the towerdoor - then get objective.
(Oh and let the allies spawn some distance from their command center, imo the only flaw in the rtcw-map).

this has been asked a million times :disgust:

Has it? :stuck_out_tongue:

I tried searching for it. Oh well.
Then do you know of any plans for it?

edit: i see now (spelling wonder that i am), not very likely eh?

amazing constructive input by blockbuster.

give this guy some admin power (he seems to really want it) and no-one will ever come back.

speak for yourself

Ok, i’ll let this go then.

No place for this, looks like blockbuster does contribute in other threads.

Ah, I see you’ve met the welcoming commitee! :blah:

There has been no word from Splash Damage concerning any new maps for ET. That includes bringing back old maps from the dead. If you’ve read the gaming news headlines in the past couple of months, you would be aware of the fact that the SD mapping team is now working on Doom3.

ya… well maybe try contacting the maker of marketgarden, it wasnt SD i hope :drink:

(chavo_one) #10

:huh:
…yet, indeed it was Splash Damage.

Despite what the official word is, I think that we will see at least one more ET map from SD. There were maps that were canned during development, I wouldn’t be surprised if they finished one or two off in their spare time. They are complete mapaholics after all.

I would pay for new SD maps…

There was no word on a patch being forthcoming either :eek3:

Here’s hoping…

Smokey.

Don’t get me wrong, I would love to see new maps from SD, but here’s why the patch doesn’t surprise me, but new maps would.

SD as a company is making MP maps for Doom3. At surface value, I would assume all the coding is being completed by Id engineers. So while the SD level designers are making D3 maps, what do the SD coders have to do?

Make patches to ET.

Just a hypothesis. I know nothing more than anyone else.
