"ROOFTOPS 2" "RED ALERT" MAPPACK

(RELEASE 2)

MAPPACK 2#: "RED ALERT"

The second mappack will be released a few months after The Final CoD4 ROOFTOPS Release.

 It will include 4 Maps and they will continue and complete the story that the Rooftops Mappack will feature. 

 Below you can see the maps serial number, the title and the percent of work that has been done for them.

 Map5: (Shipwreck) "Uncharted Lands"                  2%
Map6: (Train) "One way Trip"                                  30%
Map7: (Nuke base) "Red Alert"                               40 %
Map8: (Boss)  "Real Heroes"                                  40%

The maps will be small to normal sized and epic. Each map will last about 4-7 minutes.
Its smaller that Rooftops Mappack 1# so it will not take much time to be released. 

 Plot clues: Its November 7, 2011 Almost a month after Rooftops Mappack 1 Events. Task Force  99  With new suits and new skills are ready to prevent the plans of  the evil Romanov.
Lots of awesome scenes and unexpected facts that the player will have to face. 

HOW IT STARTED:

It all started from Map 3: "Rooftops" , but i saw that the beginning of the mission left some unanswered questions to players, so I decided to make 2 more maps (Map1:"A day at the Office" and Map2: "Unexpected Guests") that will show how you got to Map 3: "Rooftops".
and then I decided to put in more action so i designed and a 4th Map "Deus Ex Machina".
through time all of these maps were developed very very cool and much better that i firstly estimated. bot there is still much to do so please be patient.

"ROOFTOPS ORIGINS" (RELEASE 3)

(COD4: "Rooftops" Origins)

It will be released after the 2nd mappack when the story will be completed.
However it is not sure that I will manage to get this far.
"The Deal" -----------------------------------------------------   11%

Estimated time completion: UNKNOWN (yet) .

Map9:"The Deal"

Location: London.
Date: 2 years earlier than the Main storyline Events.
Map Size: Normal
Currently Estimated Duration: 20 minutes

It's actually inspired mostly from the film James Bond SKYFALL and an old PlayStation 1 game Syphon Filter 3 and maybe some other influences from games or movies like Matrix etc.

 Also new stuff were added after I saw cod ghosts federation day mission and it gave me a lot of inspiration.  

MAP FEATURES: Player and Ally wearing suit ( James Bond Style ) , silenced pistol and weapons like agents, sniping enemy snipers to the opposite skyscraper, using lift hatches to escape and lift cables to roll to lower floors, breach and clear Hotel Rooms to find V.I.P. .

 Rappelling from window to window to take out enemy guards, sneaking hotel room by hotel room to find allies, being chased in a hotel hall, jump from skyscrapers window to escape and para-drop on the streets of London.

NEWS 7.3.14

I am happy to release the great epic 2nd Demo .
It is available now. Check the Trailer in the Video sector and Download it in the Download sector.

NEWS 8.12.14

The Map3 of CoD 4 Rooftops mappack Titled "Rooftops" is in great shape.
The basic structure of map is more than ready, almost all details are in place and the paths and AI fight scenes are about in 50%. Today the map state on top of this side is 80%.
I am so happy that the map that I started from is in so good shape.

 Also the final release may not be in Fall of 2014 but a bit later.

NEWS 8.18.14

The Map2 "Unexpected Guests" also known as "Prologue" was really messed up lately.
A few months ago I came up with new designs and schedules  that required advanced terrain editing. I was really not into making patches but i can do some stuff if i try.Finally I got some inspiration, I watched some YouTube Tutorials and I worked hard on it. Eventually, I managed to make the 70% of the BASIC structure of the map Prologue. Its important to note that the main design of the map has changed 5 times! This is surely the final and the best.


NEWS 11.24.14

Last 2 days i worked on Map1 "A Day at the Office" aka Intro and i did very nice improvements.
Basicly the map is tiny its a short shooting range and a debrief about the story. The map is almost ready now all thats left is some AI path fixes and to add the custom sounds. It looks very nice.

NEWS 1.30.15

Though I should be working on Rooftops Demo 3, I had inspiration to take care of some Rooftops 2 stuff. Well, i made a very nice and basic design of the Base map (Map 7) and some improvements on Boss map (Map 8). 
There is a video out but it can be considered as spoiler. However the parts and facts that are shown are very basic and handy and will be a lot different than the final version so i personally dont consider it spoiler. But for I wont post the link here cos  some of you may not want to have the temptation of watching it.

NEWS 5.7.15

Been off for a while, actually I was working on Rooftops.
I have released a Demo for The Deal Map and its Available for download in my You Tube channels. In addition Demo 3 is in Great shape. It will surely be released in August 2015.
I am also working in a tiny mission with MW2 Rangers just for fun ;) Will be out next week.

NEWS 5.21.15

The Trailer of The 3rd demo is released you can watch it above.
The overall progress is also great and the 3rd Demo will be Released possibly in August 2015.

NEWS 8.18.15

3rd Demo is released three days ago. 65+ Downloads so far. I was hoping that there would be more excitement. Anyway, the road to the final release is open.  As you may have noticed, there is one release of rooftops maps each summer. 
1st Demo - Summer 2013. 
2nd Demo - Summer 2014. 
3rd Demo - Summer 2015. 
So I estimate the Final release aka  v1.0 in summer 2016. 

NEWS 11.22.15


I haven't posted news here for a while. But Map 2 : "Unexpected Guests" ending is done and looks amazingly epic. Can't wait to show it out.
