Have fun.

Cool, my first time being included in a readme! Are there any changes between this and what you sent me other than glowing thrusters on the Moldy Crow?

[H_BOMB]

SA-WEET! I can't wait to play it.

Yes, quite a lot actually. Well, more like major changes.

[MasterSaitek009]

Sweet! Cheers, kudos and whatnot to AQT for getting this all together and ready to go. It was a pleasure working on it with you.

Enjoy, guys.

lol.. that was a very fast release.
I dind't have the time to play the beta yet.. sorry..

How ever downloading now

[Devastator77]

Now that was an awesomely entertaining map. The campaign is a very well put together, simple campaign (although I had to walk around and around and around)....but that's a good thing because the map has such a nice environment. The addition of the Moldy Crow was a nice touch that began and ended the campaign. The redone Mos Eisley and Bespin buildings blended in with the map perfectly.
Uber mode was.....well it was completely uber. Units all over the place..and those darktroopers and the bothan spies do some serious pownage!
I personally think that your bothan spy and darktrooper were much better then the shipped ones. Overall, I'd give the campaign a 9/10 and the map as a whole a 10/10.
Excellent job, this will stay in my addon indefinitely.

[AQT]

Thanks for the "review." I'm glad you enjoyed the map.

[Jendo7]

Looks really good - downloading now

[Nihillo]

My turn:
Talay: Tak Base version 2.0 is a great improvement over the earlier version.
AQT sides are original, with a creative distribution of weapons; the Empire is now comprised of Stormtroopers, Scout Troopers, Combat Engineers, and heavily armed Special Operations Troopers instead of just the Dark Troopers, which are still there but in a toned down form, it should be noticed however that they are still very powerful foes/allies and fun to play. I still think the Stormtroopers and Scout Troopers could use some more innovation, but they are balanced as they are. Rebels got the explosive addition of a Grenadier (that was so cheesy...) instead of the usual Marksman, a B2 SBD and an elite Bothan agent.

Talay has an interesting assortment of colors, the contrast between the purple sky, dark blue mountains and white buildings is unique, making the map feel legit, a "real" place in the Star Wars universe and one that could be easily be between the stock maps in terms of visual quality and gameplay.

Either by taking a blaster bolt to the head as an anonymous trooper in Uber mode or puting blaster bolts into heads as Kyle Katarn in the faithful-to-the-game Campaign mode, players will find something they like on Talay.

Thanks, Nihillo. We can also count on you to write detailed reviews. I really appreciate it. On a side note, I have submitted this map to SWBF Files. Just pending for approval now.

Hmmmmm... Not bad better than the last one this will be in in my addon folder for a while heres my review

Mapping I dont really like the feeling of the map but its ok 7.5/10

Sides the empire has great sides most of all the scouts so 9/10

for the next version if you make one you should make some little chanes on the map like more buildings and more sniping
locations like big tower or somthink like that but good job at all

[Nihillo]

The problem with an acessible tall building, is that when you reach the top you will be able to see the borders of the map, and they naturally look ugly (unless there are more towers/props around to conceal that detail).

Off-topic: I like your avatar.

[Maveritchell]

AQT - I coulda told you ahead of time that if you're determined enough you'll find another way (although it was a bit harder this time):



But it's good that you removed the weapon until later on.

What, too out of the ordinary? And I get a C for that? Glad you enjoyed the map though.

How the heck did you do that, Mav? Oh well, at least you can't get the clue this time.

[501st_commander]

its out? i didn't get to test i was gone over the weekend

[AQT]

Sorry, 501st. I should have specified a testing dead line. I'll be sure to do that next (in general). But hey, you can now play a better version.

[Maveritchell]

How the heck did you do that, Mav? Oh well, at least you can't get the clue this time.

You can still make it up on the wall, and it's a square-shaped wall. All you did by blocking that way was make me have to walk further. (Which underscores why it was good that you made the script fix. )

[MasterSaitek009]

Yeah truly platform proofing a map is almost impossible. It's like DRM and people who crack it, people will always find a way.

The script fix only took about two minutes to implement. I should've done that waaay earlier.

[Delta-1035]

looks nice AQT, i liked the previous version. I'll give it a download when I'll be at my pc.
