Ford 1st MRB

Thought about this some more. I'd say the very first time we tested my soccer map, god that was fun when everyone was actually trying and we had really coordinated teamwork. Until someone got a gun... Oh, and pretty much every time we tested a new version of my BCT map, and it always turned into a 3 hour long spawn killing rampage. Garry's Mod. Hands down some of the best times. RP server, 10 MRB guys, holed up in the sewers with 25 money printers and crates of automatics. That and Racer Mod.

Too many to list, late nights with Kevin and Weatherdon listening to total drunkeness. Kirkendall talking about the MIDDLESIDE!!!! Arguing with Parker when he still actually talked to me. One of the best I can recall would be this though: http://www.1stmarineraiders.com/index.php?showtopic=2606

So let me tell you about the wonderful company I work for. I was sent a letter, 5 days after I broke my toe in two places at work. It said if I did not return to work by 5/19/11, they would consider it me not interested in continuing my employment with the company. Two weeks to the day after I got hurt at work, I was being forced to report for work. It also said, I would be assigned to a new position in the store that did not consist of my normal duties. My normal duties are Manager on Duty. I run the entire store, and am in charge of locking up and setting the alarm at night as well as managing the 30 + people on duty. Those are the things I do on a daily basis. My new job duties included: Greeting customers, handing out flyers, and performing tasks which can be completed in a seated position. I was also told my pay would be reduced to minimum wage, $7.25 an hour, less than half of my normal pay. I reported to work last night, and was prepared to do my new assigned tasks, and was told I was closing the store as an mod, and i would be performing my normal functions. This means I have two options: 1) Do my normal job for minimum wage. 2) Get fired. I won't be released for return to full duty by my surgeon until July 7th. I was told I will not be compensated for the difference in my wages by workers comp until then. What this all means is I am doing my normal job, getting paid minimum wage to do so, and won't get paid what I am owed for two months. Also, while I was "working" last night, I was having to walk all around the store, causing my toe to start bleeding again from having it not elevated like my doctor told me it should be for a month. I had to go back to the DR this morning to have stitches put back in because the other ones got ripped out last night. I called our workers comp people and told them what happened and they told me this would not be covered by workers comp because it was an unscheduled visit. I also can't take the pain medication while I'm at work because it makes me drowsy and they won't let me work on pain meds so I'm having to work in pain for 8 hours at a time. Who thinks I have a lawsuit here?

I slept with a teacher in High School... Sadly I was home schooled. That just means statistically I'm smarter than you, and I have game.

So I was unloading a truck last night at work. I was pulling the last pallet off of the truck, and had two of my stockers pushing the pallet because it weighed about 3,000lbs. My foot slipped, got caught under the wheel of the jack, and the guys kept pushing thinking the pallet was stuck. It rolled across my foot, crushing my big toe and the one next to it. I broke my big toe in two places, the nail was completely ripped off, and the toe next to it was broken in one place.

The downside is I am on crutches and may need to have surgery today. Going to see an Orthopedic Surgeon at 10. I bought tickets to The Players Championship for me and my brother for his birthday present, but now I may have to miss it if I need surgery.

Just a few others I saw that made me laugh.

http://www.someecards.com/2011/04/06/the-b...ngs-on-facebook I was laughing pretty hard at some of these. The last one is my favorite.

Not really any major news but apparently he is reported dead and the US has the body to prove it. Not like it's going to stop the "war on terror" or anything. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-13256676

Due to the amazing amount of interest you guys have shown in this map, I'll just release it how it is and give you a link to it on the steam forums. Thanks for the help Cayen.

You don't have bewbs.

Made a few more changes. Added the store front on the street Cayen suggested. Also opened up two floors on the "boathouse" on the axis side of the bridge. Here is the new version, which contains all the custom models/textures/skybox, so you should see the map as intended now. http://www.mediafire.com/?l9aatnhy1i4ci72 Enjoy, and I'm still needing feedback!

I knew some of the custom content would appear that way in this version. I didn't embed any custom models (plane, railing in the top of the sniper house.) or textures ( purple/black things you see) in with the map. I just wanted to get a feel for how the map was playing out as a whole and to see if there were any glitches as far as getting stuck in the new areas. Also the skybox is a custom texture so it will appear that way until I add it in to the map. maybe open up the door to the right that is blocked by a fence, if it can be made as a usefull sniper spot, this is the building to the left of axis 1st flag The problem with that is the building it attatches to is lower on the bridge side than it is on the axis first flag side, if you get my drift. mabey make a small store front like on the road to axis second flag on donner, next to the sniper house Not a bad idea! open up the door for ease of acces mabey? I felt as though there were already too many ways to get to that flag for axis and since I have always thought this map was axis biased, I didn't open it up, although the thought did cross my mind make a small building with one oen window? Will do! and the last one for now would be make the 2nd roof accesible mabey Can't do that. I mean, I can, but then it runs into the skybox and the top of that roof overlooks the middle flag, so it would be a campers paradise. Thanks for the quick input Cayen! I'll definitely make a few adjustments based on your feedback. I'm still hoping to hear from a few more people before I do anything too drastic.

Also, be sure to check out the rooftops, I opened up access to quite a few of them as seen in the pictures, and the well area by the allied first flag.

Ahh screw it, here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?rgjc9hjxbv8uhhv What I need from those of you who choose to download it and test it for me is the following: Are there any places you get stuck? Are there any imbalances that need to be addressed? Are there any places that are too dark? Are there any areas you see that would be good to open up? Is there anything that is opened up that you think shouldn't have been? Any other general criticism is welcome. That's why you guys are here, to make the map great before it is finished. I don't need to hear how awesome I am. I'm Ford, I already know how awesome I am. I need to hear criticism. I also know there is not a mini-map, that will come with the finalized version. If there are any textures or models that appear as purple/black checkered, they will not appear that way in the finalized version. I did not add any custom content to this version of the map so there will be a few.

The beta is ready for testers, but I'm going out with some friends to stalk the pro golfers on the Island. We saw Phil Mickelson yesterday at dinner. I'll upload the beta version of the map either tonight or sometime tomorrow.

A couple more pics to give you an idea of the setting of the map. A few spoiler pics: New Allied Sniper window overlooking Bridge/Courtyard area New axis Sniper window, giving better view of bridge as well as new allied sniper window. Axis side of new allied sniper loft, in case they have control of bridge.

Its actually dod_anzio_extended, but I think officially i'll name it dod_anzio_dusk, since its set closer to sundown. Lots of sniper locations, different paths through the center of the map, the middle flag is now a two man cap with two new entry points. About two or three weeks of tweaking left and it will be ready for beta testers.

A preview of IT.... Does that make this not spam?

But you don't even know what IT is. So how do you know it's spam?

Just wait for it.

Something tells me he isn't going to make it.

I'd buy that.. Great song by The Prodigy also. Invaders Must Die.

Sweet video!
