A Sidewinder varient with AI Bots
File Notes
=== map summary ===
Sidetracker was spawned from boredom, but it turned out pretty ok.
It's pretty much an AI mod of Sidewinder, but the gameplay is fairly good for those who fancy respawning AI battles.
The Marines spawn at red base, and are allied with you. Weapons and health packs spawn on the bottom floor of their base, and outside you can find three warthogs. The Covenant hold the blue base, and have access to four plasma turrets and four ghosts. Two banshees are also parked on top of the small cliffs outside their base, but the AI cannot use them. You can, however...
The flood spawn on both the elevated cliffs near the middle of the map, as they tend to do in most Sidewinder mods. They respawn a bit more quickly than the Covenant and Marines. They do not have a weapons cache or any vehicles however.
=== New content ===
The map holds very little new content, as I couldn't find a good way to intergrate any of it. There is however two new actor variants, my improved assault rifle marines, and my flamethrower flood.
=== secrets ===
The mandatory easter eggs are one "hidden" weapon, and my standard bullet-hole scribble. Nothing special. The weapon is only present during a certain game type. You can find out which type it is by looking at your starting weapons, as one of the gametypes alter your starting equipment quite a bit from the ususal.
=== acknowledgements ===
No-one has really been involved in this map, as it wasn't a big project. I feel compelled to mention JunkfoodMan though, out of habit. =)
