Desert_JailBreak Preview

[MistaN]

I was on the fence about wether or not i should preview my map to anyone because im still in the early stages and i have a lot of things to fix/add. Well as you can guess i decided to go ahead and and show it off... :D

The story so far is(subject to change but not by much):
MEC fugitives have escaped from the local prison and are making a run for it.
An attempt, lead by earlier troops, to contain the fugitives has failed. This failed attempt only resulted in 1 downed blackhawk and 17 soldiers being killed. You (depending on which team you're on) and a group of reinforcements have been sent to the location to regain control and to prevent the MEC from capturing the city and the very valuable Oil Field....

Special Circumstances/Conditions:
Another US blackhawk has been shot down by AA missles while en route to the refugee city....(the one you were riding on *US only*)
A thick cloud of dust limits sight so spotting snipers and flying copters may be somewhat difficult...
Watch the rooftops in the city...there seems to be a lot of sniping spots and alot of fugitives jumping from rooftop to rooftop....there are a lot of places for cover so use them to your advantage



Objective for US is to stop MEC from regaining the refugee city and to kill upon seeing ANY MEC.
MEC objective is to overrun the city and the Oil Field to regain freedom.



This map is built around support for 32 players but 64 player games are welcome.(im not so sure how server demanding this map is...if someone can help me out then pm me if you would like to test an early version of the map)

There are a couple of different styles of combat with this map including:
Aerial
Infantry - Roof to Roof, Roof to Ground, Ground to Ground
Vehicle
Sniping
*I for one think that this map will be very balanced for all of these*
(But seeing it in action is the only way to know...let me know if you would like to test at a later date)

Screenshots didnt really do my level justice so i recorded a few movies with FRAPS. Screenshots only show the city area...I will post some of other areas later on. I have to get some sleep as i have college classes tonight. (Game Art & Design @ the Art Institute of Atlanta !!!)
There are about 15 or so in all and it's a complete walk/fly around of the map.
I will have to get a program to string the vids together.(this will be done later) But for now i will just post 3 vids of certain areas and some screenshot...(do not be turned off by the screens...please look at least one of the vids to be able to see the progress/changes i have made) Please :D
The vids are only 3.6-6 megs each so its not much to download.

Without further delay..
