Very nice remake. If you enjoyed in old school UT Orbital, you will like this one as well. Nice - real boots included:D

Ho hum. it is the old version directly ported. PLEASE, if youre going to do a remake, at least make it look nice for 2k3, if nothing else! Theres an old cliche... "If you want UT, PLAY UT!!(TM)" if I want to play CTF-Orbital, ill play UT. There is no point in playing a map that is exactly the same with nothing done better in a game with a superior engine. You will find a number of the reviewers here do not look so highly on direct ports with no changes, not even cosmetic. No direct port of a map that already exists should get more than an average score. This one doesnt even use new textures, has no meshes at all, etc.
I think of it as a 5 but consider this 0 to be making the average the 5 it should be. I'm sick of people handing out 10s like candy to a baby. 10 implies you couldnt possibly have had more fun on this ideal perfect map. that does not describe this map. it is fine, but I can save the hard drive space by going to play the UT version. instead of keeping this one. I'm not saying i dont like orbital. but if youre going to port a UT map to UT2k3, at least make it look UT2k3.
I AM trying to help. im trying to help UT maps not get remade 1000 times. orbital is a fun map. however, its a UT map. as another said, I have this game called UT. its really fun with cool maps like Orbital. Hmm, i wnat to play orbital. so lets boot up UT! Consdiering this map is EXACTLY the same as the UT one, textures and all, why play it in 2k3 when you can play it in UT? is that so hard?
btw mr. (TM) youre only making yourself look like a childish fool every time you do that. I really hate it when people purposely make themselves look bad. seriously, why are you so determined to go in and counter every neutral/negative comment I make? why arent you critizing all the other people that give 0s or low scores without backing them up? There is more to life than mocking me and looking like a fool in the process. every post you make makes me all the more happier.
LOL! I started it?youre the one that made a big stink about my policies here. youre the one who immaturely started making these moronic posts with (TM) every word, making no one but yourself look like a total newb. since you are the only person here doing that, its directed at you. you know how childish that is? "HE STARTED IT!" you sound like a 5 year old. grow up.
If every man and woman has different taste, then why cant they say they hate a conversion if they want to? They arent my taste, and we (the ones who hate conversions) are posting opinions that relfect that. thats what the comments thing is for. to share opinions. You obviously have some self control issues the way something like this matters so much to you that u have to cuss and swear so much.

You know, screw it.
Mr. Prophet guy, I apologise for openly mocking Sir Tahngarth.
Sir Tahngarth, I apologise for saying that it's stupid to rate maps you have not downloaded. Clearly, i was wrong about this. Please continue to rate maps without downloading them. I shall do the same. And give absolute zeros to maps that load and play perfectly fine. I will continue to do what pleases me under those circumstances, mmkay?
As far as ports of maps go, I never really liked this map either. But way back when Orbital was new, it pushed my (then underpowered) box way too hard for its specs.

No way is this map a 10, thats a perfect score. Seems to me that some people are very bias and rude as well.
A boring remake of a boring map. Get off the grass and take a look at some other maps and don't comment on mappers skills untill you have taken a look at there maps and others as well. This is UT2003, not UT and I am sick of remakes. If you are having trouble creating UT2003 maps then use this link: http://udn.epicgames.com/pub/Content/WebHome/

guys guys guys....
ofcourse it is a remake, u need to understand that there r people who like remakes, i do, so if u dont like remakes just dont play it, web is full of maps i dont like, map in ut2 stile...
and sir taugh.... bla bla have wrong attitude about mapping as i can see from his others replays,
anyway i like remakes and making it! :)
edit/
to Luggage :
i spent over a month making this map and im proud of it! and yes i made it for ppl who like it (and for me myself) and not for some assholes who dont even know what mapping is...

No. I dont consider that a remake. A remake is an updated version of a map with graphical or gameplay improvements, neither of which this map appears to have. You cant give it a 10 either. It's a good map, but it didn't deserve a perfect 10 when it was on the original UT.
Please don't use your name as the author when the map in its entirity was made by someone else. its just not right.
i gave the map a 6 based on how it plays, and that it is not graphically up to date with UT2k3 maps.
i give strawa a 0 for his work however, which we can all agree is fair, as he did nothing.

UT remakes are not for UT2K3.
UT2K3 can render 10 UT maps at once, just quit it and lets us enjoy UT2K3 the way it is meant to be. Your just spoiling a great game, and making fun of UT.
My Note:
To me anyone who ports a UT map is wasting their time, and is only a Q3 fan trying to make UT2K3 look bad.
We don't want to see UT conversion directly from UED2, try making the map in UED3 from scratch.
In my opinion Epic should have made the UED3 map data different so idiots could not do this.

Sibn... a word about your comments...
"That being said, I wonder why he does not make his own maps for release. They would probably be perfect."
So people can't criticize maps unless they can do better? Then why is everyone criticizing CTF-Addien? Or any of the Epic maps, for that matter? By the same rule, none of the players who don't map are allowed to criticize maps like AndAction. Sound fair?
I didn't think so.
Strawa, UT2003 makes it a breeze to visually update levels. Put some effort into a map and I'll put some effort into feedback.

most of the conversions from UT are just pointless, including yours due to the fact that its a waste of the engine's power

Well people its obvious that MR. proffit and alex and other peeps like them were prolly never any good at ut1.if the mapps a ramake or too close to ut1 they cry and give zeros.i think nali city needs a new reveiwer in a bad way.for now this site is a good way to get these classic mapps out in circulation.just dont pay much attention to you ratings cause as long as mr. proffit is reveiwing these mapps noone will ever get a fair reveiw.i give ur map a 10 just cause you had the balls to do so and u obviously have love for the origanal.i bet mr proffits just a quaker anyways.cannibas corpse has all the killer classic mapps........if they werent why are they on all the ut2 servers now
lol
good job
alex mr proffit go back to playin quake and dont ever claim to be a ut lover...............

Make something original! Please!
I am not trying to flame its just that originality and imagination are really good things to have and to hone in on, Its nothing personal but creating your own map would be far more interesting!

Ok, this is getting to be some sort of craze here recently. I agree with the concept that a map which is a remake is NOT original (obviously) and maybe does not take much talent at all, but what it does do, is bring a familiar map to a new style of gameplay. Although i am not a fan of remakes i still recognise the demand for this. So all well and good if you rate remakes poorly, due to that in comparison to originally crafted maps the amount of skill and effort to be rewarded by a rating is a poor amount, but do not flame the author for doing something which pleases a niche crowd of people and although you may not be part of this crowd, a little respect for the people who may genuinly enjoy this map seems a concept out of reach for the average NC user. There is no point in reviewing a map from a biased angle, it defeates the point in the review. I think there are too many egotistical people here these days and maybe a little bit of a reality check is in order? I cant say... but all i know is that i rate this map quite poorly but i do recognise the reason behind its construction. *Takes a breath*

Well, my mistake, there is a blank there that seems to be a non-rating; maybe not, that may only be for the mapper. Yada, yada, yada, most of the same stuff I said about the Codex remake. I'm also reviewing a couple remakes in the future at Insite, so we'll see how they do.

i think you will find that rating straight conversions as 0 automatically is a nalicity review policy, not just a mr prophet thing.
to get marks for a conversion, you AT LEAST need to have the author credited, if not downright get permission, and to not get sucky marks, you need to have actually put some creative input into it.
so, straight conversion, + no permission/credit = auto 0. you cant argue with this, its the law.
(ps, neener neener)

i personally agree with all the people saying that giving tens to sucky maps is something to get kicked in the nuts for. i don't understand the (TM) buisness going on here. but that sibn guy has a right to have an opinion, even if its completely pointless.
the only map i allow people to give a 10 is dm-titania][, because mr titan RULES.
oh and only give maps an 0 if they don't work ;-)

No, conversions are rated on the IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE MADE TO THE ORIGINAL. This is nalicity's official review policy so if you don't like it, then quite frankly, piss off :p
And no map ever had to get above a zero if it runs. This is just myth. Tt gets 0 for build (no changes made there), 0 for awe (no changes there) and 0 for cast (Guess what? No changes).
