Spoondog's CTF-Hydro64 Released

Raffi_B · Jul 21, 2005

After keeping us drooling over screenshots for the past several weeks, Cory "Spoondog" Spooner has finally released his newest creation, CTF-Hydro64. This map features some of the most realistic visuals in a UT2004 map, with lighting comparable to Half-Life 2. That's not to say, however, that gameplay is lacking. Spoondog has used this visuals in such a non-obstrusive way so that gameplay and flow remain unhindered.

Hydro-power dams have proven to be a favoured battle place in the tournaments. Now here's the ultimate one - a previously undiscovered piece of antiquity, nestled in the middle of a beautiful, rolling valley. Now revived, no longer is it the harmless creator of power... but the perfect CTF killing ground.

Spoondog has also put together a write-up of his work on the map, with details on how the map was constructed as well as his personal thoughts and ideas on the design process.

Wowbagger, the layout is nothing like Hydro16.

Exelent work indeed. The bots don't seem to use all the path and i saw some bots having difficulties geting out of the water. And they are always using the path that lead right in the center after they take the flag. Alot of cool meshes and good outside ambiance. The water sound is out loud though.

The flag rooms remind me of Half life 2 a lot

I agree with you that some of the sounds (the water in particular) are a bit noisy...

Oh well. I just played this map, and

wow is it ever good.

I'm not a great CTF lover but this looked so great that I dl-ed and gave it a try.
Great looking map with an excellent layout.

And amazingly for a map that looks this good, I get no slow-down at all...even in the large open air section.

Excellent work, I never thought the UT2 engine could look this good and run this well.

Plumb_Drumb · Jul 21, 2005

yeah, it's awesome in every way.
