My new b30 super map for Mac Halo demo! =D

Hi there! This is my new b30 map mod for the Mac halo Demo! It's a work in progress so give me your comments and the like and I'll do what I can to make it better!

All the best

Christ! Sorry forgot the link! Be with you in a sec....

Sorry about that! Here's the link!

Description:
Basically it's the same as the original b30 map, but here is a list of things that I changed:

ALL GUNS HAVE NO CROSSHAIRS, MORE DIFFICULT!!

Don't play on legendary, you WILL die. (Unless I'm just crap.....)
All enemies are now stronger, but so are you and the marines! (Make more BOOM!)
Plasma Rifle is now a glorified Plasma Pistol, it's automatic (although slower ROF than what it used to be, to avoid unsatisfying instant kills) and shoots plasma pistol bolts which have a knockback force to push back enemies. (If you shoot corpses, they slide along the ground!!) Also, rate of heating has been decreased along with battery life being increased.

Assault Rifle is basically the same but has a slower ROF, higher damage and has spread shot. Good for close range combat, not so good for long range.

The Magnum is basically a little monster! 20 rounds, same good old pistol bullets, zoom is the same but it is fully automatic and will empty it's clip with ease! (Be careful! Not to be used often, death will incur while reloading unguarded.)

Plasma pistol is the same, but heats up slower, and charged bolt has slightly (ever so slightly) more range. High recommend this weapon as part of a plasma rifle-plasma pistol duo. (You WILL pwn. When charged bolt is fired, switch to rifle and blast away! Switch back and fire again!)

Needler is the same but with higher ROF, and has the best melee strength of all weapons (bar energy sword, but you can't wield I'm afraid!). Put it this way, you hit with the spikes sticking outward. It HAS to be so!

Grenades are exactly the same, (I'll try some improvements) oh and the warthog gun has random firing effects (OOH!) which means any number of things could happen. (The funniest is when they randomly burst into flames!)

Firstly, woah, you're new. Cool, and welcome.

Secondly, did you use any imports on this map? If no, you should've made a .ppf file with ppfmaster; it's much smaller. If yes, you can't logically expect many people to download a 750 mb+ file to play one map, no matter how good it is.

Lastly, can we have some info and pictures from the mod? I don't know about the others, but I like to be decently informed about the mod I am playing.

Oh yeah, sure! I'll get right on the pictures and stuff!

It's a full campaign map of b30.

What he said! FULL MAP!! (Thanks Paul Supanich!!!)

Unless you rebuilt the map, put it in a PPF and zip it.

Oh and pics of the mod please.

Yeah... if you want anyone to download you need to take pictures (on a mac just hold down command-shift-3) Since you're new I downloaded this one anyway

I'm not a big fan of campaign mods but this was ok... the changes on the plasma rifle were the best in my opinion. However, it seems sort of stupid to take away the crosshair, and the edits on the AR were strange... lower ROF and less accurate? Overall a pretty good start... next try something more advanced than offset swapping.

Like everyone's been saying, unless you rebuilt your modded map you should make a PPF patch to distribute it. The program you need to make PPFs and a tutorial for how to do so are included in this archive: http://www.modnexus.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=94&t=21451&sid=30d2e34f91ed785316eb3b501f50cde4 (register to see the download).
