NYS-5 Series

(SP Mappack) NYS-5 Series - HARD MODE (20% Complete)
(CO-OP) Orb Facility (Updated as of February 14th 2012, v1.06)
(CO-OP) Impetuosity (Updated as of April 18th 2012, v1.15)
(CO-OP) Puffin (Updated as of March 6th 2012, v1.06)

I want to be the first to say that this is one of the best, more detailed, polished, well thought-out and creative work for Portal2 so far.

I don't remember enjoying this much playing once and again to a series of maps ever...

Ey Nys, I will play "again" to this release this afternoon!

Thanks for mapping master!

The first map looks good, the others are kinda bleh. If those turrets in the first map deal super damage, don't keep it that way. That should be used only if you have a really good reason to.
Also, in chamber 4 (I think), there's a button embedded in the floor. I stepped on it and was unable to jump out; I had to use noclip.

Try out Twin Pillars, a Portal 2 map by BOB74j.

Wow... Incredibly impressive work!

My feelings echo those of josepezdj. I've given fives to maps that weren't half this good...

You are a truly gifted mapper.

Can anyone replicate this? I just tried it myself and this did not happen.

Nope, I can't replicate that error, everything worked out fine on my side. It should be something in your system bob74j maybe. Try you to replicate it.

Loved this map! I do competitive portal with some friends where we race through maps.. and we had two of our competitors rage quit! It's so satisfying when you beat even one of the maps. We stopped at three because so many people had given up already. We are saving 4 and 5 for another day. Can't WAIT. Great job.

This makes me squeal with joy. I'm glad that your enjoying it that much!

And it makes me kind of sad the final map isn't exactly totally finished. But it will still prove a challenge!

Amazing maps, these are the best I've ever played!

Escher portal in a space station, how much more epic could a map be? ^^

Didn't like the last map too much, as I'm not a fan of agility challenges, but you already said you made each map to require different skills, so I guess it makes sense.

I only had one problem in level 4:

Spoiler
The walking cube didn't walk ^^. So I had to destroy it and get a new one, the problem only was that I didn't knew it was supposed to walk. I had the solution in mind, but didn#t thought that it would be a bug. Besides I thought it wouldn't walk straight anyway, even if it did walk at all.

Overall: 6/5 :thumbup:

Edit: Oh and did I mention that I love brutal death traps? Meat grinder map FTW ^^

Homage to my favouritest level designer, Richard Gray AKA Levelord.

As for the cube, one of many annoyances I discovered with Portal 2. For some unexplained reason the programmers decided for the cube's AI to deactivate permanently if they remain idle for too long. I'm no programmer, so I couldn't do anything about it other than give you the ability to get a new cube.
