CTC-UT-Mappack-Vol1
by The CTC Team
AWE: 2.5
BUILD: 2.5
CAST: 2.0
Allow me to indroduce ourselves...I am Satyrkarma. Gnome and Sapper are on vacation so I will be filling in for them for the next few days. To start off my own little reign of terror, we have the CTC Map Pack Volume 1. I'm still not really sure why Volume 2 was reviewed before this one...especially since this one is a whole lot better most the most part. I won't bore y'all with picky details. If you want more information about Volume Two, here's your link: http://nalicity.beyondunreal.com/map_hub.php?mid=8051. If not, read on.
1. CTF-CTC-HeliMania - by Fritz-X
AWE: 2.0
BUILD: 2.0
CAST: 2.0
This is an extremely fast-paced, energy intensive game that begs you to play it again. As creative as it is with its theme and design, it fails ever so slightly when it comes to gameplay. There's not really an issue with the gameplay so much as it may all be over before it really get going. A good team could capture 4 flags in less than time than it would take to capture one on CTF-Face][.
2. DM-CTC-Croon - by L.J.Paranoid
AWE: 3.0
BUILD: 2.5
CAST: 2.0
Without a doubt, one of the most visually outstanding maps I have ever seen. Although low-end systems will more than likely explode when they're exposed to 1000+ polys. I've got a pretty game good system and in some areas, my framerates were reduced to single digits. The map was built extremely well, however there are some issues that tie in both here and in the gameplay. Primarily, utilizing your translocator or even hammerjumping, you can get to places that judging by the textures and brushwork...you're not supposed to go. Any anyrate, Heinz and I had wicked good fun on this one.
3. DM-CTC-EBD-HammerV1.4 - by evil_blue_dude
AWE: 2.0
BUILD: 2.5
CAST: 2.0
Hammer ranks in at just above average. I would admit that knowing the author's story behind this map would interest me. There is nothing really special about the layout or the texturing in this map. In fact I found the design and brushwork to be quite boring. The skybox could definately use some work also. I did enjoy the detail put into area of the map that you can't play in though. It sucks that you can see the outside, but you can't get to it. Oh well.
4. DM-CTC-Scios - by Flying_Killer
AWE: 2.5
BUILD: 2.5
CAST: 2.0
Visually impressive in my humble opinion. I liked the look of the whole place. Lighting and color selection was quite pleasant. Almost sucked when I started plastering cherry pie all over the place. The layout left the flow a little jumpy and despite my best efforts, I really didn't get to play the whole map fluently.
5. DM-CTC-The_Spinner - by TexasGtar
AWE: 1.0
BUILD: 2.5
CAST: 1.5
To quote neko in his review of DM-BossDance, "There is no God!" I will admit that extensive effort was put in here to create something unique and unusual. I just couldn't play this map for very long. It made me sick. It's fun to play around in for a little while with a couple of players, but the whole map puts a damper on traditional gameplay in favor something that you might do if you were high or drunk.
6. JB-CTC-EBD-Theomachy - by evil_blue_dude
AWE: 1.5
BUILD: 2.0
CAST: 2.5
Theomachy is green. Theomachy. How on Earth am I supposed to pronounce that? It is a simple and quite average looking map. After trying Jailbreak for the first time, I can't really say I like it but I don't hate it either. For a Jailbreak map, I would assume that it's well-organized. Ample opurtunity to get fragged as well as get your people out of the hole. Balanced like a scale as it were. There are a few mover effects when it comes to the execution or the release. Bot performed admirably, but only in the case that you actually have adjusted your bots settings to create some good bots.
OVERALL
Out of the 6 maps in this pack I loved 2, liked 2, was indifferent to 1, and absolutely hated 1. There is a fine mix of creative talent here, although it would have been nice to see a couple more CTF maps and maybe one or to DOMs. If there is ever a CTC Map Pack Volume 3, I look forward to seeing it. |

08-16-2004 06:26 PM MDT | | I would've liked to see DM-CTC-Croon as a standalone, cus it looks fenominal.
EDIT:Shao, CTC is there team name, don't know what it stands for though. 1 ctf, 1 jb, 4 dm.
EDIT:Where did the shock-systems site go to? Can't find it at www.shock-systems.com.

08-15-2004 11:20 AM MDT | | Great work on the pack overall! I love this bunch of maps. Really cool and refreshing to see a JB map around! I have to say Croon was the most beautiful map I've seen in a while, despite being harsh with the lag! This pack should definitely bring back lots of UT fans! Cooooool stuff here!
Oh, and CTC stands for Community Tribute Classic. For anyone who wants full info on the pack before you download it, the maps are:

09-14-2005 11:21 PM MDT | Rating: 8 | | outstanding job fellas. great bot AI, great texturing. for anyone who hasn't played ut in a while, try it again. i am amazed at how good it looks on todays equipment (instead of a 300MHz processor and onboard graphics running a 15 inch monitor)
well, Satyrkarma, i have't gone thru your reviews with a fine touth comb yet, but your review of "Spinner" is short, and pointless, and your comments about playing it "high or drunk", should be removed.
whats the point of "wanking" all these maps into a half a paragraph each and a "score"?

09-04-2004 04:54 PM MDT | | Another bump, and some information.
CTC Volume 2:
Volume 2 has a deadline of November 20th.
First screenshots will be posted in the coming week(s).
You can expect another map from L.J.Paranoid, a map from HortonWho and many others who didn't make the Volume 1 deadline, and others who are new.

12-27-2004 03:46 PM MST | Rating: 7.5 | | Great map pack, one of the best in fact! DM-CTC-Croon is the greatest map there, but all have their good points. The Spinner isn't one of the nicest looking maps ever, but it is fantastic fun to play, give it a go with 50 or so bots and you'll see what I mean. ;)
| TexasGtar
11-22-2005 11:33 PM MST | | 50 bots. OMG..I tried it...i think i'll stick to 8-16 lol
to G & S
high or drunk?
Nice.
I admit i may map in a different way but i wonder how you came up with this comment. Oh well...i hope some find it fun to play. I played it for months....completely straight. Worked fine for me.
Anyway, maybe my next map will be more to your liking..if there is a next map. And maybe the next review will be a little more constructive.

09-09-2005 07:21 AM MDT | Rating: 6.5 | | ... CTC vol 3 is [supposedly] in the making; Vol 2, despite all things is overall better than this one; i disagree with the overall score of this vol 1...

09-12-2005 02:50 AM MDT | Rating: 7 | | I think CTC volume 3 will be released very soon

09-15-2005 05:19 AM MDT | Rating: 8.5 | | I like this mappack, but i haven't tried CTC Vol 2 yet.
My most favourite map in this pack it DM-CTC-Scios and the leist favourite is JB-CTC-EBD-Theomachy.
