The standalone buildings look great. It's a good aesthetic for old Unreal. Big bold shapes looming over you that have a satisfactory feeling of 'completeness' despite the lack of minute details. Don't have a lot to say about the gameplay; the map is simply too big. I tried TDM and spawned about 70 or so bots in the end but it still didn't flesh out I did try telling all the bots to cover me and I soon had a huge mob. Definite potential there if only the other team could organise

That last part sounds like hilarious fun. Thanks for checking it out.

This is a simple example of a 469-only map.

Out of curiousity I wanted to see if the quoted statement is accurate. So, I tested it in a vanilla UT installation using 436. I was able to open the map and play it with 15 bots. The only issue I encountered was the 436 renderer was unable to handle the amount of polys in the open areas. If I remained inside or behind a building it ran reasonably well, the moment I attempted to enter the primary outside area it turned into a slide show. This is to be expected. Playable, perhaps not. But it was able to run. So it is not limited to 469 only.

Yes, I can confirm. I just tested this on my 432 and it ran fine.

BTW I like the zeppelin. Haven't seen one of those in an Unreal map since DmGolf

PS. what does the DS stand for?

Thanks.

Glad you liked the zepplin. Did you find to two paths to it? The DS stands for DarkSniper, the tag I have had from the very beginnning.

Thanks for checking the map out.

Yeah I kind of cheated and used Ghost mode to get up to the zeppelin, then back tracked through the teleporters from there. Nice touch!
