Classic Map Pack Screenshots { Forrest }
Major Kudos go to El Bastard all around for today's story:First, for his efforts in the porting of many of your favorite Myth TFL and Myth II classic netmaps to Myth III in the Classic Map Map. Then, for sending us a ton of screenshots from it, most of which can already be found here at Rampancy.net, and soon at Inside Mac Games, and the entire collection of which can be found right here at Myth@B.org.
But biggest thanks of all for allowing me not only to beta test this awesome new creation, but to gather and post some original screenshots, exclusive to Myth@Bungie.org!
So, I have gathered together shots from one mesh of each of the eight colormaps currently in the collection, and inserted them below for your viewing pleasure:
First off we see some explosive action on every rankh00r's favorite, TFL-style BC TRO.
Next up we have another TFL classic, I'll Dance On Your Grave, featuring some Dwarves about to get themselves into some serious trouble.
And speaking of Dwarves, there's nothing quite like the explosive carnage of this map. Get ready to rumble on Clan Bear's classic rock 'em sock 'em Dorf Riot on the Mudpit Massacre mesh.
From explosive carnage, to one of the most beautifully detailed colormaps I've ever seen, this next shot shows El B's exquisit treatment of The Drowned Kingdom.
One of the most popular 3rd party maps, from the much-beloved Voracious Rabbits (R.I.P.), Appalacian Hotsprings gets some extra fun with Watchers as Assassin targets on the Dark mesh!
When you've had enough time warming up in the hotsprings, head out into the Dead of Winter and get your frostbite on!
Another pair of Myth II favorite, Gyre and Gimble in the Wabe are also featured.
And last but not least... something old, something new, something cryptic... someone blue?
Again, huge props to El Bastard for this exclusive, and to Leadfeather and Iggy of Vista who have lent their hands in the Classic Map Pack's creation. Please keep in mind that these shots are from the maps in progress and will likely see significant improvements. Many of these maps contain scenery which is new to Myth 3, and there are plenty of surprises in there... though I've spoiled a few with these shots... so stay tuned for the Myth 3 Classic Map Pack!
