I tend to download maps in bulk, so I occasionally get something by accident because I largely wasn't paying attention at the time.

So I noticed a bit ago I have map called BR-(SLV)DaewonsHall.

What gametype is "BR" exactly?

Re: Uhm... help?

Bombing Run.

BR stands for Bombing Run. The only UT99 conception of it that I've ever found sucks, sadly. Very buggy and very bot unfriendly. Maybe it's the wrong one?

Also, sadly it does not stand for Brazil. Lamentable.

Not sure that's a "fix". It kinda negates the post, where that question was asked.

Might've been better to rename it to "Help me identify a gametype" or something.

Uhm.... no? It's... kind of the same thing. You already knew the prefix, so it wouldn't be contradicting or rely on information that was hitherto unknown.

What does it matter now, anyway? Might as well just put the answer as the title, in big bold caps, in square brackets. Would be more helpful!

Burger-CTF is also some kind of Bombing Run.

Ah do you not know Bombing Run ? It was the best failed thing in the failure that was UT2003 and I loved it.
It's basically CTF except you don't have to bring back the enemy flag to your own base and only one played in the team can score at any given time and when he's trying to do so, he can't shoot but regenerates.

It's Football, UT style.
