THREAD UPDATED Map is almost "pretty" Foreign Treasures: Liquor (UT3 Spirit) Many apologies for the late entry, got kicked offline last night as I was polishing this off. Many thanks to the staff here for being understanding. So, what we have here is a remake of Unreal Tournament 2004's map Spirit. Its a small room based map, consisting of essentially 3 rooms. There are also three distinct levels in each room and a couple of lifts. I'll be the first to admit, this is not my best forging. Nor is this my cleanest. But I absolutely love playing this map on UT3 and could not pass up entering it into the contest, especially considering how many CoD maps got submitted. We've got a ton of power weapons on this map in my attempt to staying true to the UT game play. Yes, I did not adjust it to the typical Halo game play style we all know and love. Expect frequent weapons spawns and much power weapon whoring. This plays best as a 2v2 or 1v1, but supports up to 4v4. Starting weapon is the player's preference.

Although I have not played this map I can tell that not much detail was put into this map. If you could change the order of the pictures to show what you were replicating it would be easier to identify what part of the map that was. But I do understand you had some difficulties with finishing it.
Actually got a game in on this map and it was pretty fun. Played 4v4 oddball. There's some obvious spawn issues with the map because of it's design, but I really can't do anything about that. As this map is absolutely hideous, I opened it back up in forge yesterday and replaced a good number of braces with various pieces. Each atrium has its own unique "feel" now and are easily distinguished from one another. Till ironing this out, but its looking like it could be a decent map now.
Hehehe. This map. I enjoyed every second of that game we played on it. It didn't look very good but it was smooth and played extremely well. To be honest, you should maybe fix up the looks a little, but change nothing else, as I found it to be very entertaining to play on and oddball was probably the best game mode for the map especially as the scores went right down to the wire.
The oddball game went pretty good on this the other day. The biggest issue I had was with the lift going to the top floor, I believe it can be seen in your second to last picture. It took me a few tries to get up, which if I had been getting shot at could've been a problem. Other than that I thought the map played quite nicely. I would like to try KOTH out on this to see how t plays, it could work really well I think.
Played some ffa on this and I have to say that it makes me want to check out more unreal tournament maps. I don't think I stood still for even a nano second. Hectic game play that really rewards map movement, whilst being almost impossible to camp. I heard you were reforging it with better aesthetics. How is that coming along?
Glad y'all like it. I find it surprising that any one likes it actually. With the gray, the overly hectic gameplay, and ass load of power weapons, i figured people would hate it. Its a very non-Reach styled gameplay. I've got the reforge down for the most part. Its only a matter of swapping out pieces to improve framerate and what not.
Would love to get a game on this sometime. We've only looked at it in forge. I like how you've given each room it's own aesthetic, but I really dislike the coliseum's harsh lighting... Hit me up sometime... Haven't tried Orion either.
Never see ya online Nooooch. Anyhow, updated the thread with screen shots from the new version of the map. Pretty much deleted about 70 of the brace larges and used different pieces to bring some life and color into the map. Hope y'all like it. Oh, and please vote/nominate it for FHF. Thanks.
Very fun map. Great layout. Looks pretty sloppy though.. lol. Also, the weird lift in the.. "back" hallway (I assume you know which one I'm talking about) should be changed to a jump pad if at all possible. I say jump pad because a normal lift doesn't seem possible since the coliseum wall is right there.. but yeah It's pretty hard to use and really just slows down gameplay right now.
That's actually what I wanted to do as well, but after all the moans and groans about how jump pads don't work properly on Amalgam, and considering the general context of those moans being about jump pads, I decided against it. I don't like that the sound cue will give the jump pad away though.
