Surprise surprise, it's gone missing.

aaaaaaa

Nightmare over, I can use my birth certificate instead, which I've got with me still.

Aside from that I got my photocard done today so I can buy my monthly train tickets.

I'm almost ready, six days to go!

Surely if they were in the original (even if it was DLC for the original) they should have included it in the remake? Doesn't everyone else normally include everything in remakes?

It's the original map pack remastered and resold.

To make it worse the map pack on the remaster costs more than the original version ever did

Not including the map pack which is 12 quid more

the things they did the MW1 remaster were just depressing though.

when you see Hans Zimmer's name on a OST you know it will be good.

I hope for the reveal everytime this thread is bumped.

I don't hope too much as I'd be nervous wreck crying in the corner all day otherwise.

I did it.

I fucking, did it.

Just been offered a job as an assistant level designer with Splash Damage.

Naturally, I'll bloody take that offer.

Good thing the job phone calls are done with, best let them know however.

it fixed itself out of nowhere, bit odd but I'll roll with it.

Some screenshots of the second stage changes, pretty much rebuilt from scratch.

The path into the new interior has been elevated, infact a lot of the second point is now focused around elevated platforms, suits the name of the map.

This sniper platform is at a 45 degree angle, allowing both teams to utilise this during fights on this section. stairs are on attacker side and the defender side has a bit of a climb instead unless they risk going around.

Attackers can use the side buildings to access this tunnel under the cart path, which leads to the other side of the arena here.

How it looks on the other side, bit under developed.

What attackers see on their way in from the first checkpoint

Need to adjust walking space and cover before I can happily move on to the next stage. But it's come together in pretty much a day.

Since I first applied, had a phone interview, test, face to face, a few phone calls and a lot of waiting over these four months or so.

As much as I want to be done my application and find out if I secured this job or not, it's still been a joy to talk with everyone there, talking with them the first time a couple months ago pretty much killed any anxiety I had when I first applied. Let's just hope I get this job so I can enjoying talking to them for much, much longer.

Call went well, no clue if I got the job yet though.

However I think I will take a day or two off from my level routine since I'm staring blankly into my monitor. Nice chance to clear my mind and collect myself a bit from some recent chaos and enjoy the summer.

Wonder why they excluded Japan though....

A redesign of weaker areas has pretty much turned into 'do it again but better this time!'

I've binned the mid capture point in order to follow through with a similar idea, but on a better scale, old version was restricted to the space of the old concept.

Regardless, some images:

the space between second and mid capture points has been cleared out almost entirely, as the cart is taking a different route and will need to be designed around it. old concept was weak regardless.

Inside is the new route before mid, taking up another interior space as they're better suited to optimisation, and will help give the space above more long term use as the previous layout made the upper floors redundant quite quickly.

Want to see some of my old stuff? pretty much some of the first things I ever did in hammer (and one for amnesia)

Map is playable from start to finish, so it is now time to redesign the weaker areas of the map. and then handle some spawn point issues.
