A dream I had

Last night I had a dream that was interesting. It brought aspects of assualt and invasion together and the map was like a square shaped base with 4 towers at each corner. It starts with a gate on one side that gets attacked by monsters and the point is to try and defend the gate so you don't get swarmed by monsters later. First wave has long range monsters shooting into base and you took these out with 3 shots with sniper, next up was a ice ball version that froze the ground and dealt more damage that first one. Then came the ultima nalis

. In my dream you see them spawn, you had to shoot them before they finish jumping or else they walk to the gate and suicide and ultima blast the gate but they are really weak and easy to oneshot. I ran up to one in my dream and shot one and it died, but it was at the gate and it ultima blasted me

. I think invasion would be interesting having a few maps like that and the base can be upgraded but people have to be doing a certain thing to get it to. And the gate should have circuits that run around to a few places that people could link but most of them need to be out in the open so people can be killed while trying to heal the gate. Was just an interesting dream and I want to see what some of you think

Assault style Invasion maps? Think it's been brought up quite a few times in the past. Would be cool to see it as it would add another way for the team to work together, instead of just passing out the odd pu, weapon and artefacts now and again.

And I tend not to dream about video game ideas that much. I'm not that obsessed yet

I don't usually dream of games, it just seems to be one of the random dreams that I get and can remember.

I only dream of video games when I have been playing a single game for hours and hours and hours before bed and was intoxicated while doing so. If I swap games every hour or so I don't have this problem, so THANK GOD FOR THE ORANGE BOX!!

LOL i have had those types of dreams a few times also, where u have chances of dying LOL

although it is highly unlikely/impossible is it true? ive heard somewhere that you can actually die from your own dreams if you died in them? if it was the chances of that is probably 0.000001. lmao

Seeing as I've had one dream where I had an axe embedded in my chest, no.

i had an alligator bite my leg :axe: while watching my dad and friends drink beer :partyman: and fly fish for eels :ckncatchin:, which then melded into a game of ctf on a sick halo1 map :rlybored: that sorta looked like blood gulch with the towers from face :snpr: (with that halo1 gray metal stuff) and a piece of the map missing in the middle that you had to jump over with the hogs...ok done

yeah, but back to topic if joey or some-one could make a mod to have monsters try to grab assault like goals and have an assault map man vs monster that would be quite an awesome mash up
keep dreaming scion,

that could be taken backwards :roll:, its fun and sleep is good

edit: there met smiley quota

Well, I can't remember the name of the map, but it had a wall at one end you could destroy. the area beyond that was then used as a newb hiding and trading spot.

As for other goals, such as door opening and so on like a proper AS map, we'd need a way to port the MM stuff into Assault and of course figure out if we allow teams or not.

Two teams Vs horde of monsters in a race to complete the map? That would be pretty sick d=).

That or design the map so that the teams are away from each other but still have to help. Say one team's left in a large arena like room while another's racing to find the release switch to let them out?

Fire when ready.
