This is my first map with the Unreal Technologies and I must say it was a pleasure to work for a first time with the Unreal Technologies, I previously worked with Hammer, the Half-Life 2 Engine. What you will play comes from weeks of Editor Learning, plenty of try & errors, intuitive design and this became my personal test room for the UE3. The main focus of this map was to create a great balance between great interactive design & visual design and to create a DM map that would also fit as a TDM & CTF map for the fans later. The images aren't showing too much of the whole map, there is plenty of other areas that aren't shown here with particular gameplays. ENJOY your new summer frag fest!

So I've played the map. A few thoughts.

Texture alignment: a fair amount of your textures are just off alignment. See the little wall in your first screenshot for example. Resizing textures to get them fit the brushes correctly would help a lot on your levels.

Trimming: Using BSP or static meshing to trim the edges of your brushes would really really help make your map look even sweeter.

There are some areas where your meshes that you use as ramps, are just slightly too high off the ground and prevent the player getting stopped moving.

On the whole great first effort for your first Unreal Engine map.

Can you please take a few screenshot about these issues, because I remember having fix everything about that. I would be pleased to know what I missed here.

Thx for the feedbacks! :D

:rolleyes: thx for the nice feedback, unfortunately the link was broken for a few hours during the night. If the map is not named "DM-Str8Control July Edition" in your game menu, it isn't the last version. Simply take a look at one of the two Teleporters (look at the ground), you will understand lolll... It happened during a lag and I seriously don't see how loll. :lol:

I'll get a screen or two to you later :)
