Story (Pending)

Never thought you would be in such a situation.  You seen it in movies, read about it in books, but never did prepare yourself for this.

Five Hydrogen Bombs were dropped on the United States of America.  We dont know who, but we believe its one of the comunist or middle eastern parties.  We were lucky to be in Canada.  We weren't affected much, but the after effects are.  The sky never shines anymore.

In seattle people are looting everywhere, things are begining to get out of control.  Even worst, two more bombs where dropped, on eastern Canada.  No one knows why, we were in peace with everyone.  The fallout is growing.  No one cares anymore about the rules of society, the rules that blind us from the faults we always had.  Now we are experiancing all of it.  Its every man for himself.  We can no longer stay in out basements, food is running low, we must go outside, and face the terror.

Duck and Cover Sytem
I created and perfected this system in another map but I dont want to finsih it.  ITs pretty much finished excep for missions.
Anyways,  Basically you find and object such as a building, boxes, a car, and when you are behind it, it will say you can duck there.  You can select duck with the action menu and when ducking you be harder to hit.  Once duck you can also scroll though your arsenal (right now i only have a grenade system) and use your aimer to aim and activate your weapon (in this case you will throw a grenade killing nearby enemies.)  You cant use your main weapon.
You stand back up, simply walk away from the object. 


Virtual Health

With a virtual health system, so far...
There will be a bleed effect when you get hit, and a few painful sounds
You will walk slower when you are low on health
Life can be deducted and gained easily.
Critical damage when hit during ducking.

Wow this game looks really realistic and cool. good job. in this game will you be able to drive vehicles or are they all knocked out by the bomb or is there no gas from el presidento bush. and how does the menu selection work? i hate scrolling all the way up to the top of the map to be able to move a civ onto a beacon. i hope you have a more efficient way where you dont have to scroll but only hotkey.

What will they be fight against.....


i dunno, looters? gangs? zombies?

only reason im doing this map is because of the work i put into the battle system and terrain in my other map. I mind as well reuse it. THe story is a waste too. I'd work on it but i lsoted interest in it.


o wamt to make a drive car thing but im afraid that switch units will mess up the ducking system. IF it didnt u would definately havbe a more veriety of guns(units) instead of just weapons that are like spells.

actually it wont but i dont want put the work into it and end up messing it, since im not very familair with it because of the absence of working on the ducking system

This will use a gateway menu
so actions are
Duck
Use meds
grenade
flame thrower/rocket launcher/ w/e

and btw, anyone who would like to participate and can do triggers can help me copy triggers to other players and other boring work. smile.gif

A n unknown bomb has been dropped on a city miles away from yours, destroying only things alive.  You never thought you'd ever will experiance ammagedon, but you though wrong.  The sky is always dark, and the sun is never seen.  Theres no longer law enforment, and everything is wild.  Its every man for himself.  WIll you survive armaggedon?

confused.gif If the bomb only affected things that are alive, how'd it make the sky dark?

To make it more realistic, when a bomb blows up make your guys deaf like turn of WAVs unit sounds ect for like 20 secs (like in half life II). Just a random idea.

Who the hell cares.... besides... story took me less than 5 minutes, i was gonna write none so far but it looked un professional. the sky dark thing is like clouds or soemthing being affected.

yeah i'll give credit to the guy who helps. as long as they dont nuke or steal map

Heres another questions. Your trapped in a room, you dont remeber how you got there etc. Youre told thers a bomb and u have 30 minutes to figure out how to get out. YOu think, omg simple open the door but thers a puzzle... Would you play it?

5 Hydrogen bombs? Damn, just one will blow the earth out of orbit. Sounds pretty fun, just make sure that it runs smooth in game.
