Any comments welcome. Thank you and enjoy!

I recomend that people who enjoy this map look into the Monkey Matrix Moves 2004 mutator witch is a finalist in the Phase 3 "Make Something Unreal Contest." This mutator allows you to use matrix style moves like running on walls that work perfectly with a verticly built map like this.

If you like this map, check out the "DM-Coliseum" thread on the full release message board, or visit:

Nice map

[legacy-Bellasadda]

I have added a link to the "Monkey Matrix Moves 2004" mutator in the first post on this thread. I suggest that people who like this map look into this mutator that allows you to do things like run on walls.

Well, if you get to the top, you're comparatively safe, and you have a high ground advantage, but you should always focus on frags !

Thanks for downloading!

Interesting idea for mao; it's fun even for me, and i hate indoor maps most of the time. I hope you come up with other cool ideas like this in the future.

BTW - this map is perfect for practicing wall dodging.

Thanks Alot! If you like this map, check out my other map that I already posted on the Forum, DM-Coliseum

Very original for a map, I only have seen one like this before and it was for UT. The bots need a little work, all mine did is jump on a air pad and go up and down and some times would hit a elevator pad. All in all it makes for a very new style of game play.

Ah,so this is meant to be a deathmatch map? :bulb:

That's the great thing about Deathmatch maps, you can do anything you want with them . You get points for creativity.

Thanks for playing.

Yeah, that's the problem with a map that has a chenging environment: the bot's don't understand what to do :cry: . If only UnrealEd had a way of attacking path nodes to movers! You may notice the same problems in DM-Coliseum. Sometimes the bots just stand in corners because of the changing layout.

Wow, very good. Its a little too easy to fall all the way down tho. and with low grav it can be hard to hit the "steam vents" to jump back up top. But I love it. Hopefully well see this hosted alot soon.

My feelings EXACTLY!! But man this can be very hard to keep constantly moving up and trying to frag at the same time ... whew!! talk about a challenge ... but I couldn't stop trying!! Very nice map ... although I would love to see this expanded and made into a MUCH larger level (Horizontally). Peace and I will download DM-Coliseum as well. Thanks for the fun (and the crispy deaths ... :haha: :cry: ) !

I appreciate the constructive criticism Anuban and fatduck. It's nice to have people say "awesome" or "cool" but it's even better when people have something more to say. It is a very challenging map, but I tried to make something for people to test their skills with. The Idea is to have constant tension that grows the closer you get to the bottom. It's Interesting to have a constant balance between frags and watching your step. Another trick one of my testers figured out was that you can use you shield gun to walk on walls. If you really want to walk on walls in this level try the "Monkey Matrix Moves 2004" Mutator (you may have to google it, the Link was not workin right). Oh yeah! It will rocksors your boxors ! Check it out!

PS Anuban, if you download DM-Coliseum, feel free to post on the page, it could use a bump.

Cool man ... I do have MMM2K4 and I will try it out and see how I can walk on the walls. I just got done playing it again on Adept and with 2 bots and I kept getting burned (Man! How much more death can I take? ). I haven't yet downloaded DM-Coliseum but I plan on doing that today ( I had started the DL but it failed and I went to bed). It does look like a huge maze so I don't know if it is my cup of tea. Usually I like more open space ... we'll see. Peace.

I promise that DM-Coliseum is not just a maze. If you look at the screenshots, you may notice that the blocks are in different layouts. Those are not different rooms; they are all in the same area. Throughout the match, the level actually changes! If you liked DM-Furnace, then you will love DM-Coliseum. To give you an Idea of how much went into the level, It took me about a week to make DM-Furnace by myself, but it took me about 7 months to make DM-Coliseum with a one other person.

[legacy-fatduck]

Ive been playing this map alot in single player. I was thinking it would be really cool if you could shoot thru the platforms, from above and below. I dont know if its doable, but it would add a very intresting aspect to the lvl.

[legacy-Bellasadda]

Hey people, I think that the main download site for the Furnace may not be working right now, so I posted the mirror from our good friends at UnrealNucleus.com. on the first post. Extra special thanks to prophasy for that one!

[legacy-Bellasadda]

Good news everyone, the main download page is back up! So go download!

[legacy-Bellasadda]

I know you guys have wanted to see an new map from me, so I'm just letting you know that I'm almost done with my 1 0n 1 map and I think you will enjoy it

[legacy-Bellasadda]

My very first unreal project is up on the Full Releases page. It's Called Allied CTF, so go check it out!

[Xyx]

Good fun!

Bots had some trouble with it. I was ventilated and got to juggle more grenades than usual. In other words, they have trouble reaching the weapons. Have you considered spawning the weapons on the movers instead?

Sorry, Xyx, but weapon bases don't work that way. Weapon bases are static. I learned that painful leason on Dm-Coliseum. Unfortunatly, movers throw off bots alot.

Bellipanni I have taken the liberty of adding this map to the UT200X HQ site. Here's Mirror #1 and Mirror #2. Thanks for a great map!

[legacy-Bellasadda]

Many thanks to FPSC_KviK and [HQN]Reijin. I'm relatively new to the mod forum/ release cammunity so I don't know much about alot of these sites but they seem to be very high trafic. If there is anything you think I should know about these sites, please let me know! I would like to post my levels on each. Thanks again boys!

[legacy-[HQN]Reijin]

Hey no problem Bellasadda, you keep producing more great maps and I'll keep hosting them.

[Lakie]

Played it last night for 3 hours with Godlike bots,
Increably fun.

I also love DM-Coliseum.
I spent hours playing that two.

Great fun, If I can get my server up, I'll have a LAN / internet party on it.
(No music on my server though. )

Is Allied CTF a map or mut?

Thanks and Enjoy. If you get the map up, shot me a PM

Allied CTF is a gametype like Deathmatch or Invasion, and it's a rather small download, so give it a go!

I love this map!
Great theme with the elevators moving closer and closer to the furnace.

I give it a 8/10:up:

Nice lighting, lava, and low gravity. Players spawns whether dumped or not dumped through elevators. Basic weapon/item placements. Remorseless z-axis. Bots are whether good or suck (some identical bots are using Assault Rifles). Better use for online, and use jumps (or some mutators) to prevent elevators getting closer to the furnace. Be safe!
