Sci-Fi MedVac 4300 Gear Review

Hi there! It's BillCheesey5 here again, and I've written a review of the Sci-Fi MedVac 4300. Enjoy!

Note about this gear: The description is "Heal yourself and your teammates with this Sci Fi MedVac", meaning it heals not just you, but your teammates too!

Mesh: From this view, it kinda looks like a book. Disagree if you must, but that's what it looks like to me. Anyways, it kinda also looks like a Med-Pack, based on what I've seen of Med-Packs. There's even screws on it! Realistic! 8/10.

Texture: The texture, like the mesh is realistic, with a Nice "+" on it. It has slight shading and nice colours. The use of colours and their combination is effective. AGAIN, realistic. 10/10.

Value For Money: According to a resource, this is an "Overpriced Medpack". I would have to disagree, 300 seems too fair for a cool looking Medpack. Maybe it could have been 200 however. Good. 8/10.

Overall: This gear; overall; receives a 8/10, with a realistic mesh, great texture and good value for money.

Zeppelin Battle Review

Zeppelin battle has been on the front page. At first glance it seems like a fairly decent game, however there are tons of problems with it I've found and it's incredibly easy to win. For those of you who don't know, a zeppelin is basically a hot air balloon with guns. Anyway, on to the reviewing
Gameplay 3/10
The gameplay really isn't all that fun. You get two choices. Pilot or Crew. The crew basically stays on the ship and fires at enemy planes and the enemy zeppelin. The pilot can fly planes and invade the opposing team's zeppelin. The basic goal of each round is to destroy the enemy zeppelin. This is incredibly easy to do. All you need to do is get on the enemy zeppelin in a plane and drop a time bomb. The other team is normally too stupid to figure out how to defuse it. There's also a random island with hot-air balloons at the bottom of the map that serves no purpose at all.
Effort 7/10
The person who made this obviously put a lot of effort into it. There are a lot of scripts and different weapons they just don't seem to work together very well sometimes. The zeppelins and planes look unique and new but they just don't seem to work right sometimes.
Creativity 8/10
This is basically an air-version of the Galleons place that was popular a while back. However, there haven't been many places like this in the past.
Overall 6/10
Suggestions

• Add an in-game tutorial for defusing bombs and other things
• Make the zeppelins easier to move
• Get rid of the random island in the center with hot air balloons and just make people spawn on their zeppelin
• Add cloud cover
• Add some kind of anti air turret on the zeppelins.
• Make it take numerous time bombs to destroy a zeppelin
• Add a giant space whale that randomly comes down and eats the zeppelins.
• Add an anti-TK script
• Ragdoll scripts are always fun
• Give the zeppelins "health" that shows in a hint at the top of the screen

Eggstravagant Retextures Contest Winners!

Easter has long since passed, but the Roblox News Egg Hunt is still running! The three winning eggs were used in the hunt and all had different scripted behaviour.

Here are the winners:

The Burning Egg of Dragonkind - By mikemaximum33

I really liked this retexture because it looks like lava flowing all over the egg with suiting colour all mixed it one and a dark base. It really suited the title of 'Dragonkind'. In the egg hunt, this egg explodes violently after the player touches it and kills them instantly.

Chocolate Button Egg - By hammer124

This egg retexture is very simple, but highly effective. The shades buttons look great situated on the brown background and look extremely realistic. A very chocolately egg! When the player touches this egg, they turn into a chocolate bunny and have a reduced walkspeed.

Holey Egg of Olympics - By hammer124

As the London 2012 Olympics are fast approaching, I thought it would very fitting to include a Olympic themed egg. The rings are nicely shaded and coloured and suit the theme well. In order for a player to collect this egg, they have to jump through 3 red rings which turned green as jumped through. Once all rings were green the egg dropped at the end, free for the player to collect.

The Roblox News Egg Hunt was a great success this year and I thank everyone who was involved; be it playing the game or working on the project. We will definitely be holding another next year!

The hunt is running until the 27th of April which is when the account: RNEggHunt loses BC, so if you're planning on getting all the badges; hurry!

Thanks!

Community Article: Base wars: The land

Base wars: The Land

Base wars:The land is another classic FPS(First person shooter) on ROBLOX. Made in 2009 by d4rk886 and is still one of the most famous and most played games on ROBLOX. It is updated constantly, fixing and improving the game.

Gameplay: 9/10
Base wars is a fun and addictive game, i found myself playing it hours at a time. Basically there are two bases at each side of the map and one on an island. Your team's job is to capture the island and capture the enemy flag and take it back to your base. There is a wide range of vehicles, from jets and helicopters, to tanks and even submarines. Also a wide range of weapons and upgrades, like armor etc. You can stay behind enemy lines and snipe with the snipers, or go in and attack with the machine guns.

Effort: 8/10
This game had a lot of effort put into it. He is always updating it and improving it to the best it can be. Also he made video trailers for it which has been a great help keeping it on front page. The map is great and all the guns and vehicles are good.

Creativity: 10/10
It was the first game of its kind made in 2009. And he had done a lot with it to make it stand out.

Overall: 9/10
Suggestions

• Add more to the map to make it more tactical like barricades etc.
• Maybe add another game mode.
• And of course a Unicorn Cannon!

IBarrageI's Comment Question Retexture Tutorials!!!

Hello readers.

As you may know, I give photoshop tutorials from time to time, and also certain retexture tutorials for all of you to read.

But, I have noticed that some of these haven't proved popular. The reason I believe for this happening, is that they haven't been specialised around the readers. So, this is the idea I am proposing; A Retexture Q&A / Tutorial based on the questions that are posted in the comments section each week. I will be taking questions each week and compiling and answering questions in my post.

Types of questions I am looking for:
Questions that might be commonly asked. Or maybe an outlandish question I can try and find out the answer to.

Questions I will not be looking for (Examples):
What is a retexture? (Reason: You can easily find out the answer to that)
What is the texture for X? (X being the questioned hat)(Reason: I
won't be finding the specific textures for you.)
And any other question around that sort of lines

So, what are you waiting for? Get asking your retexture questions...

(Note: Not all questions may be answered, and if yours isn't, I might be saving it for another time. (so don't be posting it again :D ))

Underground War Place Review

Stickmasterluke is an amazing place creator. There is no doubt about it. He's made brilliant places such as Deception Infection and Medieval Clash. However, some people forget about one of his older place known as Underground War.
Gameplay 8/10
Underground War is a sniping game. That's part of where the fun lies. However, it also relies heavily on melee weapons if your enemy is too close. The basic goal of the game is to go underground and dig a way to your enemies' base. After that you need to steal their flag and run back to your base. You can also get on the sniper towers and snipe anyone above ground. However, most of the action goes on underground. You can do many different things to get to your enemies' base. You can dig a straight line or a zig-zag pattern. The game requires a lot of strategy because if you simply have a straight line enemies can snipe down it and you won't even get close to the base. What you need to do is have several corners so you can get down and back safely.
Effort 7/10
The game really didn't take all that much effort. You have your guns, your shovels, and your GUI shop which are all impressive but the map lacks detail.
Creativity 10/10
I think that this map was the first of it's kind. Also, to my knowledge there are no other places like this.
Overall 8.5/10
Suggestions

• Add more detail aboveground/belowground
• Add a hidden underground weapon
• Have a family of moles live underground and eat people.
• Way to keep track of captures

The Windforce

After many months of anticipation, the Windforce has finally been released. Before I go into the review; I want to tell you about the origins of the Windforce.

The Windforce is one of the many swords in Shedletsky's SFOTHIV (and is one of my favourite swords), and is found at one of the highest points of the whole map. This sword launches it's victims back a fair

distance, as if they were taken by a huge gust of wind. Very useful if you want to get rid of some attackers.It was released to the catalog at the price of 15,000 R$, with 100 instock, and for some that experienced it, the windforce was only able to be purchased by going to a sub-domain, a bug of which was not

intentional, but has now been sorted out.

The previous swords from SFOTHIV that have been released to the catalog in order are: Illumina and Darkheart, Firebrand (different version to original), Ghostwalker, Venomshank, and most recently;

Windforce.The only sword missing from that list now is The Ice Dagger. Though, brighteyes said that it will 

never be released. A very sceptic IBarrageI, has a hunch; a hunch that will not be said aloud, but who

knows. we may see that tiny titan reach the catalog.

Now, onto the review:

Ability: 9/10

It's normal slash attack causes 10 health damage, and the lunge attack

launches enemies back. Though it misses out on full marks because it

could do with being that little more powerful.

Appearance: 10/10

Classic mesh. No need for a texture. Full marks by default.

Affordabillity: 7/10

This is where it slips up slightly. It was released for 15,000, though

that is a major difference between previous SFOTHIV swords. The prices

are now floating around 100,000 R$.

Overall: 8/10

Classic sword, though maybe too much for too little?

Sword of Darkness Gear Review

Ohai again, ROBLOXians! Here is a review of the Sword of Darkness Gear!

In-Game-Abilities: In game, when you attack with this sword, you get an awesome swiping motion. However, it isn't a One-Hit-KO, it does roughly 70 damage, so you must swipe twice to blox your enemy. 8/10.

Mesh: The mesh of this sword is very unique - It isn't a retexture - and it has pointy-looking things coming off the tip of the hilt. They look sharp, and powerful. The sword part itself also looks very powerful and sharp, so that is probably the intended theme of this sword. 10/10.

Texture: The texture has dark colours, I'm pretty sure that's intended, hence the name "Sword of Darkness". The pointy things coming off the hilt have flickers of a brown-ish colour, which kind of gives it a sinister vibe (for me, at least). 10/10.

Overall: Overall, this gear gets a score of 9/10, because the mesh and texture look pretty good, but the gear itself isn't a one-hit-KO, and for the price tag of 5000 Robux, it should of been.

Roblox News Egg Hunt 2012 is now live!

Roblox News Egg Hunt 2012 Thumbnail

Yep, that's right. We finally finished the egg hunt! Zinc707 has been hard at work releasing patches for all the bugs in the game and now the game is relatively bug free and plays smoothly!

However. Don't go charging into the game thinking that you can't die, because let's just say some eggs go out with a 'bang'.

There are a total of 13 crazy eggs to collect with a badge linked to each of them. Once you collect all 13 eggs you will receive the egg collector badge. If you receive this badge; send a PM to RNEggHunt stating you have and we will check your profile for the badge. Once verified, we will post your username in a later post featuring all users who own the egg collector badge.

There is also a bonus badge to collect called 'Bunny Collector'. In order to collect this badge, you must find all 5 chocolate bunnies hidden in the game.

The rarest egg to collect is the 'EggCeption egg', and I'll give you one clue to aid you in collecting it: 'the egg can be anywhere in the universe at one given time - once touched that is'.

Link to the egg hunt: http://www.roblox.com/Roblox-News-Egg-Hunt-2012-OPEN-place?id=50666623

Have fun egg hunting, the game will probably run until this weekend!
