SACK-OPS TRAINING. (1/3) A great tank driving and paintinator level try it out!

Archive: 3 posts


The first in a series of 3 levels is Sack-ops training where you start out in an Abrams Paintinator tank and journey to FOX barracks to begin your training.

Includes a C.Q.B test like the one in the first level of Cod4 were you have to take out the pop up targets with a paintinator and throw a custom made flash bang into a room.

There is also a taster of what is to come in the other sequels aswell but i need to wait for MM to sort out bugs first so i can import the new tank into the level. Once that is done i will make the tanks publically available.

Great Gifts up for grabs including stun grenade that works, paint grenade, sets of tracks to help you build your own tanks and an enemy jeep!

The level is called Sack-ops training as it says in the title and its by Bobby1456 while your there you can check out some of my other levels such as Burst Fire missile tank which is basically a concept level showing you whats to come in sequels, and tell me what you think and possibly tell me how i could improve thanks.:arg:

Okay, just got back from playing this and:

WOW! What an improvement. I had a blast with this!

To those who read this review: I would definately suggest you go through and play this. It's more of a showcase of a number of different ideas than a true story, but it's a lot of fun. Not a lot of danger, but you get to drive a really cool tank with a lot of mechanics, you get to blow up stuff, and the army barracks are well-done.

PROS:

+ Great vehicle. I enjoyed the mechanics of it. The way you get in the vehicle is heavily improved and stylish.

+ Once again from my previous review, I thought the mechanic for the gun on top of the tank was done well. Would be cool for multiple players to have someone on top shooting stuff.

+ I really liked the varied gameplay. That you got out of the tank and did things. The part where you do the target practice was cool.

+ Great little visual touches, like the weapon room.

CONS:

- Probably more fun with multiple players controlling different parts of the tank. Not really an issue, just something for people to keep in mind - get a buddy to go in with you and it may be more enjoyable.

- I understand the technical limitation (and it is an issue with ALL of these types of games), but it takes away from the immersion to have to leave one control, hop over to another control, to work the tank. You may want to play around with some different mechanics that will work with single player better (maybe for another game, not necessarily this one). For instance, having a 3 way switch that moves the tank backwards and forwards, and the fire button is to the right of you so you can IMMEDIATELY stop moving forward and hit the fire button. It's these kinds of small details that make controlling this kind of vehicle better in an actual action video game.

- I would have loved to see more done in the target practice. For instance, having windows in front of you with a target popping up and down so you are shooting it while moving forward. It seemed odd to have the targets moving up and down without being able to shoot them until you move past the building, turn around, then shoot (in fact I was a little confused of what was happening here at first).

All-in-all this was a well-done level and I had a lot of fun. Great job!

That sounds like my kind of level! Anything with tanks in it get my attention.
I will definatly play this one...

...ok i played it, nice level man
The tank was very good and u explained how to use it perfectly. I liked the mines u can drop off the back of the tank and the paint granades were cool!
the armory looked good especially all the weapons on the wall, and the doors were a nice touch ...Oh and the 'sniper dude' looked great lol.
The C.Q.B test was a good idea and i liked the little details, and the cool flash bangs.
i liked the your jeeps in the repair shop and the special taster was sweet!

One problem i had was in between the army huts, when i went to get the points i kept getting stuck in between the huts... i managed to eventually get out the first 2 times but i had to die to get out after that.

welldone pal u got a cool level there, keep up the good work

i have a tank and some jeeps of my own that im very proud of, u can see them in my gallery or play my level 'Real Tank' if u like.
