	File Name ons-up-sandcrack.zip Author -={JUDGE}=- Gametype UT2k4 Onslaught Date Added 06-14-2004 File Version 1.00 File Size 7.22 mb Player Count 12-20 Map Description This was my entry for the unrealplayground.com onslaught mapping contest. Changes have been made to help improve visuals and gameplay. Map Description: Like it hard and fast? The SandCrack onslaught arena is a dead end slot canyon with no way out. The sun will burn your skin, dust will fill your lungs, and only the best will be rewarded with rejuvenating victory. Be sure to bring a friend, 'cause it's going to get HOT! Map Info: This is a smaller onslaught map that is all action and no standing around. If your team is not fighting everysecond, you will lose. Expect a very hard fought ground battle, no raptors are in this map. Exploring with the manta could yield some payoff (hint hint). Review Rating -- User Rating 6.5 Overall Rating --

Good theme, flow is a bit harsh, but the sky looks great and it fits the sunny theme well. Artman40 10-09-2004 02:52 AM MDT Rating: 7   Pretty good map with vehicles and stuff. Challening too, terrain is pretty good, but not originl and some ststic meshes looked ugly. And the link setup wasn't original(three nodes). But you placed them smartly. Unless you have a node linking to the enemy core, it's recommend that you would spawn for core and 2 nodes. Core and 1st node is futher from 3rd node, but with veicles. However, 2nd node has no vehicles, but is closer to the 3rd node. Cleaver. Just try to make some original link setups... NozzeM 06-14-2004 04:43 PM MDT Rating: 5   Rather basic and quite boring. The nodesetup results in a serious spamfest without much strategy and the looks aren't that special either, rather boring desert theme. I give it a 5.5 Edit: To each his/her own opinion. I can understand that gameplay was in mind but a linear link setup doesn't work very well in the first place. Then take in mind that it's rather small and it becomes a complete spamfest. Some CBP2 maps have linear link setups as well but they aren't as small or as open as this map and that's why the linear link setups work in those maps. bright_eyes 06-14-2004 03:32 PM MDT Rating: 8   Basic and quite boring! You obviously haven't noticed the enormous amount of work that has been put into this map's gameplay and visuals! Judge knows what I think of his map but I just want to let the people at NC now as well. This map rocks! Download now for fast and fun-filled fragging in an environment that has been built with gameplay in mind. Manticore 06-15-2004 03:44 AM MDT Rating: 6   Spamage..... but fun. At least the topoography occludes enough lines of fire so that the tanks and turrets aren't totally exploited. A good map for small crews. sandorski 07-04-2004 06:29 PM MDT Rating: 7   Nice small ONS map -={JUDGE}=- 10-07-2004 02:46 AM MDT   Thank you for the comments everyone! Kantham 10-08-2004 12:43 AM MDT Rating: 5.5   its about 50 time i past by there , and i never downaloded this map yet! EDIT: hell not bad , the gameplay is not so good ,no flying vehicle , the center make the bots play worst , (they will enter in vehicle and get out of it 0.01 sec after and leave it there i don't guess puting a tank in the gore base in this tiny map was a good idea , anyway , i've not even destroyed the gore one time i got bored 4 Vs 4 a +2 for originality and pathing and Skybox -10 for the music , but you are lucky i can originaly play the map whitout put it on!

Well, it's time to bump it for all those people that haven't tried it yet... - Visuals are good, a bit simple, but I think it could not be much better than it is now... Awesome skybox... - Layout: 4 corners and 1 centernode, simple, but really fun. Great work with terrain. - It is sometimes quite tankspammy (lots of UltraKills :D), but..., what would be this map without Goliaths??? - A good place for Mantas too, I love those small hills that make them jump higher. Skilled Manta drivers can destroy the Goliaths easily (A bit of good luck is required)... - It is true the linear LinkSetup does not offer strategy, but I think works fine in this map. I had serious fun playing it. Lots of huge battles. - The music brought me more than one headache, but I think it makes sense and fits perfectly with this map... One of my favourites. If you like simple layouts, download it. Maybe a bit overrated, but I set an 8...
