NEW VERSION RELEASED FEBRUARY 7th, 2009! PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD!

Many of you I'm sure are familliar with Callahan's map, Wanted! Well, earlier today, Callahan turned over the reins of this project to me. He'll be supplying models still, but I will tackle everything else. Thsi gives Callahan mor time to work on things like his RPG.

For those of you not familliar with this awesome map, the gameplay is simple and fast-paced. The learning curve is almost zero. In other words, the idea is easy to pick up.

You start by choosing one of 10 completley different characters, each with strong points and special abilities, but also weaknesses.

Hidden information:

The colourful cast of Wanted!


The goal is to shoot down your opponents enough times until the bounty money of 1000 gold. There are a few otherways to get cash too, like powerup coins and selling goods to Trader Bob, the trading post owner. He sells gun equipment and such, and will pay a good price for any spare firearms you happen to pick up.

Hidden information:

Bob's Trading Post always has goods, for a price.


The terrain of Wanted! Is fully interactive! You can go on top of and in housed and other structures like barrels and such. You cannot, however, go in and on the same building.

Hidden information:

Raven Hawkens standing atop the stables.


There are also a few traps around the map. These are there to ad even more danger to the game. These traps include pig dung, which severley drops speed, the old mine, which holds powerups but also sometimes has falling rocks, the train wich will squish you if you get in its way, a herd of ramapging Thunderlizards and much more.

Hidden information:

The Speedy Express mows down anything in its way.


Hidden information:

Raven: Tornadoes suck. :(


Hidden information:

Beware of falling rocks.


So get out there and join the shootout, but be careful, 'cause you're wanted too!

Attachments dont work right now, but you can download the new map version by clicking here!

Once again I would like to say thanks to Callahan for letting me take over on this project. Thanks Cal!

Right now all the features seem to be working good, so for now I'll be working on the terrain (A major complaint form the last topic) and, If Callahan has time for the models, a few new characters..

No matter how many new characters you add, I suspect it will be hard to top the cactus.

Well, of course. Pampa is, as far as anyone is concerned, perfect.

But I think you'll like my plans for characters. Just wait and see..

Quite awesome.

One thing I would mention is to make the music continue to play. At the moment it stops after one time through (or at least it did for me)

Wow that looks good. Nice post, you put the game across well.

I'll definately he hosting this with the guys at Northrend. PM me updates or something :D

Dale, I am only continuing the map, not the original creator. Give Callahan some credit. PM me whe you host.

And Shade, the music DOES loop. I don't know why it stopped for you. I'll look into it.

Next update with better terrain and new character will be out as soon as Callahan give me the model for her.

I'll get the next version up soon. I just got the final model for the new character today, so I'm still tweaking it to make sure that it's balanced.

Edit: Okay, the lack of intrest in this project form others makes me sad, but the new verion is now in the first post.

Wait a minute... isn't this Callahan's map? PIRATE! :P

Well you better update all heroes and balance them... that Tauren still kicks the walking Cactus's ass with no problem.

Pirate? He freaking GAVE it to me. I just asked nicely.

Maxburn was bananced, an so he dosen't suck quite as bad now. And the Tauren has HUUUGE ooldown, so really, anyone with halff a brain can dodge his attacks.

Also, there is a new character in the new version: Ashenvale Jane, an Indiana Jones spoof. I'll get pics in a bit.

Also, I added a trading post, as a third way to make money..

WILL, what kind of "massive update" are you looking for? I could ALWAYS use ideas!
