Retina - by Dano and Legionaire45

Hey everyone! We've been keeping this secret for a good amount of time now but it's finally time to spill the beans. A few months ago Dane and myself started talking about his map Retina and I offered to help him get it in game. It's been a hell of a learning experience for me and Dane but the map is finally done and ready to be sent out for beta testing.

I'm afraid that at the moment I can't post any in game screen shots since they come out with tons of graphical artifacts but we can give you some of the older renders that Dane made for the map:




Hopefully within a few hours Dane will post some new ingame screenshots. We highly recommend that you use the bloom mod with this map. For such high res textures I am actually surprised that it runs so well.

I've tested the gameplay with some friends from school and with the weapons set up in their current configuration they really liked it. The map is small and simple and they said that it played a lot like Wizard from Halo PC. However, you guys are the final judges of the map. What we would like from you guys is just some comments about gameplay because the shaders and such are still fairly rough at the moment. This may be a public beta but it still is fairly rough and needs quite a bit of work before release.

I'd really like to thank all the people out there who made such great tutorials - without them this masterpiece would have never been made. <3. However, I would especially like to thank Dane for all the hard work, time and effort he put into this map - thanks buddy :3.

It's been a long time coming, but it's finally done, thanks to my old friend Legionaire :)

Enjoy!

Holy shit! Finally. Im downloading right now :)



Edit: Awesome map, new favorite. :D

'bout freaking time!

This map is win +rep

Oh, I forgot to post it up there, but if anyone wants to give me any direct feed back, go ahead and talk to me on xfire. I'll be on until about 11:00ish.

I love these textures. This is one of the best looking maps yet. Everyone should download!

Definitely worth the download, the detail you got into it is awesome.

Will try with and without bloom mod =D

This map is fucking awesome! :awesome:

Great job guys.
