Abidos

who thinks that the next map they make should be abidos don't forget it was the first world the sgc ever went to and it would be cool if the sgc finally got to come out of the gate.

It doesn't exist anymore. Was blown up in Season 6.

I'm pretty sure Abydos blew up and since the game takes place after the end of the SG1 series, I doubt we will see it .

i supose so but it would still be call prehaps we go back in time in the stargate and end up at abidos

haha yeah, everything is possible in Stargate ;P you can do anything and just blame it on a random thing like Malfunction on the gate, Ancient technology or a lot of other stuff xP

lol i thought someone was talking about littleabydosgirl

haha yeaahh... ;P

Maybe "some" SGteam back to the past

Its been shown that the ascended can do things like turn back time and hide and protect planets, so it could have not been destroyed, as the Abydonians ascended thanks to the Big Oma D. and I'm sure some of them wanted it back prity bad!

I agree we should have this map!!!! Its easy explained how its back if you try hard enough and want it bad enough!!

I'm all for having maps that were in the series and films, but could someone kindly explain to me how an Abydos map would be "FUN" to play on?

Theres the gateroom, a corridor leading to the ring platform chamber, another corridor leading to the entrance chamber (the one with the pillars) and the ramp down to the sand.

The pyramid itself is empty, meaning no writings and no cartouches with nothing but sandstone walls and sandy floors.

There is the posibility of using the chamber below the gateroom where the secret room is that was in the series, and also the rings up to a landed hatak, but I can't see this map (if it was made) being nothing more than a devs waste of time and effort.

I thought the idea of going through the stargate was to visit new unexplored worlds, not the already visited boring ones.

The devs can actually create worlds now that couldn't be done in the series due to complexities of set pieces and the budget. Now that we have this game, we can have huge complex colorful worlds. I want to see a vast range of diversity, not sandstone walls and oceans of desert.

My 2 cents

I agree with Orgcon but if ya want Abydos

this map was actually implemented in a half life 2 mod for stargate, and it was pretty fun to play on actually. The idea was that one team was inside the pyramid and the other team was spawning outside and they were about to storm the pyramid that the other team had to defend. It became a pretty big and open "running down to the valley" siege. It really had its moments =P

my friend, you are forgeting that, Abidos has more then a pyramid, stargate and sand. it is a very lage planet that also contains a mining area and a small city! you can easily create a map just in the city of, Abidos. and in the backround you can have the pyramid with a mothership hovering over it. that would be a cool map and visually pleasing.

I was going for originality TBH, in the film and series everything was miles away from each other, I wouldn't like the idea of bringing all these things together just to make a map, it would take away the point of going there cause it wouldn't be the same in the end.

But I dunno, dont get me wrong I'm not against it, I just don't think it would be as fun as jumping through the gate into a compleatly new world thats bright colorful and unexplored!

well here is a really cool idea i think all of you will like here it is how about you can fight in a haták on abidos now that would be cool or even cooler they should make a map were everyone is just in f302's and death gliders now that would be awsome!!!

I doubt the planet was actually blown up. More likely the habitable areas were destroyed along with the gate. I think it was "glassed" as Halo would put it.

forget the story. setting the game in a specific timeframe was a big mistake, especially if it interferes with maps that are necessary to the games success. and abydos is an important map. aside from being a big part of the story in sg1, i know people that never even watched sg1 but loved the original movie that would love to battle in and around the pyramid. and a ha'tak in orbit with rings would also be a big plus.

With the firpower he had he probably destroyed the surrounding 20-30 miles, though never notice as its a desert planet,

though you could say the SG has repaced the gate thier,-as id hazzard a guess that thier was more than one settlement on the planet, unless they all lived within the blast zone.

Even though the pyramid was destroyed, whats to say the gate was? It could have just been buried waiting to be dug up by a system lord claiming new land.

Going off that, this new map thats has been seen used as the login screen and its also been seen in the latest video 'could' be abydos.



You can clearly see sand dunes in the background that have the smoke billowing from behind them, and there aren't any writings on the stones like there was on Armarna.

Although this is just wishfull thinking

the far background with the hatak and pyramid reminds me of Harset from SGW.

I honestly coulden't tell you....?

aye, im sure they did!

Well could say -the Goa,uld,Tok,ra, or SG resettled it .

(tok,ra, maby, -since every one thinks/knows, Anubis destoryed the pyramid, and everything else, great place for them to set up a hidden base, which has (somehow?) cought the Attension of the Goa,uld, and needs to be defended ?

(so give you a Tok,ra base underground/surface map/s)
