Yet another map from Bastiaan Frank, this one is his third for Unreal Tournament, and set in an abandoned warehouse. Although this idea has been done before in the past, Bastiaan has been able to add some more color and flavor to an old recipie, and spice it up a little. :-)


Item placement is very good, and you won't be scrambling for a weapon or some ammo for very long unless you are down among the stack of crates in the center to pick up the extra health vials, or because you missed the jump from the catwalk to the crates. Some careful forethought went into the placement of items, armour, and powerups here, so make sure you are paying attention while fragging.


I got the opportunity to play test the beta with the author, and quite forgot I was supposed to be looking around and pointing out any suggestions I might have had (which weren't many .. the map is pretty solid), so the fun factor of this bad boy definitely rates placement in my 'keepers' bin. :-)


Texturing and lighting, as well as architecture on this level are quite well done, and very believable. Check out the skylight while you're here -- you can look out through it and see the buildings outside (although you cannot get outside). A very nice touch. There is a very tiny HOM if you look up from the ground at the window above the rising platform, but it's not persistent, or very noticible unless you're moving slow enough (which isn't likely during gameplay) Node/poly counts in one area are slightly above average, so I do recommend a slightly above average CPU/3D card as well, but for the most part it runs very smoothly.


Good usage of ambient sounds lends some more atmosphere to the level as well, and give it some more realism.


Bots were well pathed, they get all the powerups and weapons, and are quite dangerous on adept or higher levels. *grin* Watch your back!


Although not very large, there's still enough room for up to 8 players, and the connectivity and flow of the map are such that you won't have any trouble getting around. There are also plenty of places to dodge behind .. just watch out for those bots! Since it's not a large map, you won't lose anyone easily, and this should lead to quite a few raging battles and a lot of fast-fraggin' fun.


Download this one, it's a keeper!

Good map. I lot of people dont like Utech textures but I do, and this map uses them well. Just about everything else is right in here as well.

This is a great map. The skylight is a nice touch but it didnt seem to capture my attention for very long, i think due to a bit of overload of the warhouse theme to my brain.

9.5??? Gimme a break. pretty cool map, but w/ this texture set it will be lost in the cesspool of all the other grey-brick-wherehouse levels.

Reminds me of Kingpin, for some reason. Would look a lot better with some of the textures, that's for sure.

Somewhat lacking in the visuals department, but great gameplay and an ass-load of fun!

certainly a decent map, but hasn't aged too well; it looks rather boring nowadays and is in desperate need of trim :)
