Reviews for The Return of the Jockeys

daUHMSTARPosted this review
Pros:
+ p0rtal 2 style dawg robo helper who also turns on yallz + another great set of nevrar before seen bosses + we felt underwealmed that we got to the excape vehicle after such relatively easy events but then bam, 'nother baus (squidwards house which got a upgrade)
Cons:
- ability to run back after the first time jockey robot screw over makes it significantly easier - right after u go out of the survivor awake after cryo room, in the hallway u can look out the window and if u look back u see part of the interior of the cryo room --> the space ship had no exterior so that was p odd - also the floor sound effects didnt seem realistic because it sounded like the floor was so light that by walkin u were making dents in it and dat aint a real feelin of security against the vacuum of space
Conclusion:
excellent part of an excellent series

Pros:
+ Space Map + Creativity + Nice Introduction by the robot + Super challenging
Cons:
- Hates the robot for releasing Jockeys - Totally Impossible playing with bots
Conclusion:
Overall this map I also did not manage to finish it due to bots issues and its not your fault anyway but somehow if that robot can be shot to bits and pieces would be more fun and I personally recommend downloading this map for super space adventures. One day I will finish this up with friends

Pros:
Interesting and Well-scripted bosses Bosses are challenging without getting too tough for just one Player and 3 bots
Cons:
Starts out Kinda Boring Some of the Melee weapons are just a big "ERROR" sign Shortest of all the Campaign Chapters No Tanks or Witches
Conclusion:
this has to be one of the best scripted campaigns, with a bunch of fun scripted bosses and events.(i say that because all maps link to the previous one, but i feel this is the one i had the least fun, the start was kinda boring, but the boss really brought things up, then after escaping i was totally not expecting the final boss face fight in space, i don't know where the story can go from here, but you can do it! i'm sure of it!

Pros:
- Bosses ( x3 ) - Futuristic design - Armory area - Very nice environment - Many supplies - Many CI - Possible with bots - Easier than the other maps - Short and fast
Cons:
- No Tank and Witches - Where is the defibrillator ? - No indications for beat the first boss ( shoot the eyes of course )
Conclusion:
I prefer this map because she is fast and short ( 10~15 min ) than the other maps of the series. Thanks for your great work !

Pros:
- Bosses (x3). - Semi-decent design. - Great armory area.
Cons:
- 1st Boss: Annoying, at best. - 2nd Boss: Bad choice for sound. Ear splitting, annoying, never stops (even after killing it). - 3rd Boss: nerve-busting difficult with endless horde + SI while trying to evade and shoot the boss. - Lack of supplies in finale. Very straining with only a medkit and ammo when the boss insta-yellow/red's your HP. - Near/Is impossible to solo. - Bots willingly run into 2nd bosses path, instantly costing a defibrillator.
Conclusion:
I prefer the previous maps to this one.

Pros:
-Great Level Design -There is a Boss from "The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap" :D -Very fun and replayable, like zeracon said -Great boss fights
Cons:
It's a bit hard to find out, how to kill these bosses. (I had only problems with the first boss) -Bots are stupid as hell
Conclusion:
I Don't like science fiction, but this, wormwood, space jockeys, and mob stadium 2012, are very nice. I love it, and I can recommend it to everyone. Sorry for bad English, I'm from Germany

Pros:
Awesome centipede boss Starship Robot Jockey Knife Good crescendos
Cons:
No hunting rifle. -3 points Final boss is very boring and incredibly difficult. -7 points Unsoloable. -7 points Lack of supplies in ship. -3 points Bots as usual, are stupid as hell. -0 points
Conclusion:
Needs some work on the last boss, but other than that, not bad. Certainly worth a try if you have some friends that like custom maps. If not, then not really.

Pros:
Master of Mapping Design Good Visuals Caterpilla Boss ;)
Cons:
Confuseing start, no idear how i was supposed to get through the half open door, ended up low grav jumping over it. Final Boss was unstopable without major changes to the server to beat it.
Conclusion:
@Sirell Does Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Crysis etc.... give u hints to defeat level bosses and final bosses answer no it doesnt you have to look up in stragety guides, online walkthroughs or if you are really desprete cheat codes. @Sirell what do you mean repetitive did you play it over and over again i dont see it as repetitive in any way :P @Sirell as for making it easier you can never please everybody as some complain when it is easy and others complain when its not challengeing enough best ignore everybody and do what you feel like :P My only personal critism is that i found it too short.

Pros:
Boss Fights Throwback to classic Sci-Fi television and movies. A classic Science Fiction Feel. Music Placement. Pacing. Custom animations via bosses.
Cons:
Boss fights have little direction on how to combat them. Little Replay Value. Observed a graphic glitch in the first playthrough when holding an M16 (appeared invisible).
Conclusion:
The Return of the Jockeys is one to acknowledge, with such a detailed, sci-fiesque quality, it makes it a return to really reckon with. The eerie ambient music that plays while traversing through the light, zombie infested space hallways while looking at the endless, vast, black space gives a general feel that this campaign is literally "Out of this World." While I won't spoil the boss fights, a lot of the fights are throwback to classic enemy weakspots, and in general one reminds me of another very classic sci-fi game's final boss. The author clearly knows what they are doing and what they were aiming for, and definitely for a boss contest, it's very well made. Return of the Jockeys is something I can see myself returning to very soon.

Pros:
~ You had a Intro! ~Amazing ship and maps ~It was fun and surprising everywhere we went! ~We did not encounter any glitches ~There were no texture errors ~FPS sayed really nice. never dropped below 30 even with all the zombies ~Last boss = Awesome! ~Had fun time with the worm boss thing lol ~All in all it was a SUPER awesome map for this series.
Cons:
~ The biggest con I can think of... was that there were just way to many zombies. Because of all of them we died on easy once and they helped out abit on the last boss. ~ I would not mind the zombies to to much if you supplied more health for the ending. Once at the last boss we would run dry of health so quick it was hurtful to watch. ~ I would have liked to hear some more talking between the survivors.
Conclusion:
All in all, GREAT map! Just as good as Wormwood and Space Jockey's. I think the zombies need to be toned down just a tad but thats about it in my book. I never tried it out with bots. But I dont really see how they could help in a map like this so its ok. I don't take points off for that. Our video review will be out soon! Hope to see more from you! Best map in the contest! Hope you win!

Pros:
-Original environment. -Bot navigation sufficient (naturally, they can't shoot the boss targets for you, but at least they'll protect you from the various Infected!). -Unique bosses, as advertised. -Infected music put to good use. -Cutscene power to the max. -Encourages teamwork. -Ammo not an issue. -Defibrillators provided in Arena in case anybody gets run over by the worm. -Various Uncommon Infected. -No glitches I can think of. -Dynamic intro.
Cons:
-Survivor names in poster are completely inverted. -No scripted Survivor dialogue. -A bit challenging with Bots, even on Easy! -Could use another set of Health Kits at the escape pod, and a few more in the Arena. -Could use some Pistols in the Arena or Escape Pod, in case anyone perishes. -Boss Infected shouldn't appear on this map (a Witch tends to spawn from the beginning to the Arena). -Could use some spare Primary Weapons in the Escape Pod, in case anyone wishes to switch. -Skybox in the corridor kind of messes up. -Finale Music upon reaching the Escape Pod sort of overlaps.
Conclusion:
A tense, though entertaining map. I'm almost absolute that this entry will win the Boss contest!

Pros:
Intro Surprises Enough supplies Cool boss Music
Cons:
Too many zombies if you play with bots Map is a bit short Annoying with all jockeys Music
Conclusion:
The hole map was a big surprise! I thought the robot with jockey arms was a buddy or something because he showed us the way and helped us to open doors... I was like: Wtf?! at the end fight. The guy helping us was the enemie. Its calld The Return of the Jockeys so, guess I'm kinda stupid haha xD Anyway, the intro was amazing! The boss have new ideas and new fighting skills (Other bosses can spawn enemies yes, but their attack dont look the same and they dont spawn jockey) The map was a bit short, buts its for the contest so its not supposed to be long but still a bit too fast gameplay. And playing with stupid bots while fightings against hordes after hordes and alot of jockeys was not very funny, even on normal difficult. But its a boss fight so its supposed to be hard ;) The charger music you added was also a surprise but get annoying after hearing it so many times. Also wierd if a jockey or something else get you and you hear 2 music at the same time. Still nice idea! In overall, exellent! Good luck in the contest! :) And guys, play with your friends or random players, not bots!

Pros:
- looks great and is good fun - totally origional - 3 custom bosses - perfect for the contest as noted in the map info - requires good team work - No Rambo's need apply!!
Cons:
- short but understand this was done to fit the contest
Conclusion:
I've loved playing all your maps as they are challenging and require good team work. This is no exception. The custom bosses are origional (again!) and are difficult enough to be a challenge. Good luck with the contest! Looking forward to your next map!

Pros:
- Great futuristic look and space theme, as always - Custom bosses - Fun (though a little annoying at the end)
Cons:
- Short - Finale is too difficult
Conclusion:
Another cool space themed map with epic custom content. Though this one was too short. Also, the finale is insanely difficult with average players and impossible if there's a bot in the team. 82/100
