3 Deathmatch maps that all generally underappreciated...

DM-Adversity by Ictus
IMHO Adversity, along with DM-1on1-DavidM2, are the 2 best 1on1 maps for UT. Excellent design and near-flawless gameplay and bot pathing make Adversity one of the best UT maps ever. Nice music too.

DM-Complusive by Plutonic
Great Z-Axis combat. The layout is a bit strange and confining, but the bots do VERY well here, and the weapon placements are excellent.

DM-Fane by Ulukai
Another 1on1 map. Not as good as Adversity, but still quite fun.

Lamewad question... What map is this? Whatever it is, I like it.

Looks like a hideous map to me

Anyway, check out this one. Unique level, imho. (uses doom3 textures)

DM-Xenome

 

[Nahand]

... i like it ...

 

[NeoNite]

Well, this one should definitaly NOT go by unnoticed.
It's huge, it has multiple themes...

Lay-out consists out of many (wide) open areas, though.

But it's made by someone who's delivered some fine single player maps.
Hellscrag.

This map definitaly needs a lot of players.

Check out this beta map, Dm-Swoon by l.j. paranoid/paranoia 0_0 Looks sweet...

Dm-Swoonbeta

Oh, and this is a nice CTC map (volume 2)

Dm-CTC-Deadlyworship

Wonder why this map hasn't been commented on yet...
Looks nice.

Dm-Frenzy

Wow, that DM-Swoon is amazing! But damn is it laggy, even with dynamic lighting turned off it lags. I've even hit some spots where it droped as low as 20FPS.

But it sure is purdy and the bots didn't play too bad from what i noticed. I'd recommend a 4-6 player count anymore and you may not like the results (lag wise).

It looks like a level you'd see for UT2K4, in fact, it would easily fit into UT2K4. Didn't KaMi do a similar looking map for UT2K4? Still i recommend you get DM-Swoon as well, just to look at even. It may not work so well on older machines though.

 

[NeoNite]

You're probably thinking of Dm-Lastcrusader]|[ ?

 

[Denny]

I was actually thinking of DM-CBP2-Griffin but looking at it again it's kind of not like DM-Swoon, but kind of is. (NOTE DM-CBP2-Griffin is a UT2K4 map i was only using for reference)

But LastCrusader]|[ is a great map anyway. Since were on the topic of KaMi maps, nobody mentioned...

DM-Nibelheim

It's a pretty good DM map, looks great and the bots play it great. The sky lighting is awesome.

 

[NeoNite]

Yeah, I checked that one out when it was released. Very nice map :tup:

 

[Nahand]

... from post #103 on, Xenome get my vote. I'm somewhat reticent about Nibelheim though...

 

[NeoNite]

Loaded the map again last night. The thing which bothers me in this map, which I almost forgot, is that there are too many ambient sounds :-/

And overall, it has the allures of a single-player map.. not dm/1on1

 

[Nahand]

... you're talking about wich one?...

 

[NeoNite]

Does Dm-xenome look like a 1on1 map to you 0_- ?

 

[Nahand]

... Nibelheim doesn't look either ...

 

[NeoNite]

Well if you compare nibelheim and xnome it's midget vs. dwarf ;O)

Too much going on in dm-nibelheim. Would've suited SP a lot, but dm? Not really, imho.

I feel it's the other way around i think Xenome would have been a better SP map, Nibelheim is too small (compared to Xenome).

 

[NeoNite]

Well, you have those transition maps in unreal

Examples:

- Serpent canyon (naliboat) which leads to Nalicastle.
- Terraniux underground which leads to, tada, terraniux ;O)
- Sacred passage, which leads to Chizra Nali water god.
- Extreme beginning, which is the first part of the skaarj mothership and leads to extremelab.
- Source antechamber, which leads to "the source".

I'm not sure if I can label "gateway to napali/skycaves" a transition map to Napali haven/skytown...
Maybe.

- Velora pass, which leads to Bluff eversmoking.

Small maps, not much going on.. build to suit the mood of the next level.

I love this map. I don't know how to describe it. Just see for yourself.

EDIT: Added some screenshots I took. I hope they don't suck.

 

[Nahand]

... well known map ... a little on the big side and somewhat lack of visual landmarks... i freper DM-VSys or DM-Vrais to this one though it's good for a play or two. Other ppl?..
