Well, the world didn’t end after all. The Mayans just ran out of room on the stone and decided it was too much of a pain to carve a follow-on calendar. I guess we'll just have to move on and use that crazy thing Pope Gregory came up with.
It was a bit of a frustrating night. Everyone had an Xbox lock-up, it seems, including Cold Justice who had a total of four hard crashes during the night. Rooms were a bit difficult to get together, but we did get everyone to play. Big on the rotation were Broken Piggy’s Pig Creek Falls Cave [plane crash campfire rocks] and Mikk Q’s Suspension. Suspension is a vertical take on a shotgun topography map that is ideal for snipers and assault weapons. Very pretty map.
Pig Creek Falls Cave was a beta that, despite a few rough spots, played really well and is ideal for 4-8 players. I know Broken Piggy has done some clean-up of the rough and sticky spots we found, so it will be back in rotation this week. While this feels like a traditional open sniper map, it has no real high spots, so assault and CQB load outs are recommended. This map has a very natural look and feel to it. The drunk pirates are a nice touch.
Cold Justice’s Firestorm demo map received good reviews even though it still needs another 10 hours of work to clean up and decorate. It played well for firestorm even with just 4 players, but felt surprisingly large for 4 player team death match. CQB and Assault load-outs work best here.

Good times despite all the online issues!
ReplyDeleteI changed quite a bit on Pig Creek Cave Falls Plane Crash Drunk Pirates, including the name :( I know..I know, I said I wouldn't. Smoothed it all out added an airport overtaken by drug runners and added ALL game modes! I kept a smaller version without the Airport for the small rooms though.
Merry Christmas Far Cry Friends!
