The dm maps are pretty good imo.
Only gripe I have is that the Z axis fighting isnt as good as original ut, though i suspect most of this is due to scale of chars, not the maps themselves.
On a positive note, I absolutely love the new curse! It rules the nite. Deck 17 I could have done without, but I cant honestly say I really liked the first one all too much either. (lifts are a weee bit slow, and you cant pick up the pulse or back flak without jumping up on the box. grrrr)
Havent played them all, but it seems like there are lots of smaller, tighter, enclosed maps this time around....Comment

Maps are like ART nobody can tell you what is Good/Bad. You either make an emotional connection to it or your don't (like/dislike/apathetic). You either enjoy playing in the games map enviorment or you don't.Originally posted by MidnightQ3
it's obvious that you are basing this decision on the look of the maps and not how they play. the plants and whatnot? and the skyboxes? please those are not features that make a good map, that's just extras. what makes a map good is the layout, flow, and item placement, and if there are ways to move through the map in a sophisticated manner via boost jumps or something then thats what separates a good map from a great one.
Based on your criteria a good map is one that is all ramps and gray walls with well postioned jump spots - so it plays well on low end systems.
Everybody is entitled to an opinion.
You don't like any of the maps please feel free to use the tools that Epic has provided to create what you consider and ideal map for you, but please don't say someone is wrong for liking a map - it just shows a deep lack of tolerance and intelegence on your part.Comment

Reminds me of that Nyleve's falls map for 2K3.
Hey...anyone have a link to that map?Comment

imho CTF-Avaris sux tho.
The other maps are mostly pretty good. Some I like less but okay.
CTF-January managed to surprise me in a good way.Comment

Avaris is a 2003 map and yes it's a nightmare. at least now when I get lost in it as i tend to do I can ask for tinkerbells assistance...Originally posted by Sh0rty

Isn't *January* just a slight make over of 2003's DecemberComment

I said "new" DM maps. Crash is from UT2K3. I like Mixer too, but that was also a UT2K3 map (bonus pack). As far as Irondust, I have a 2.4 cpu & Radion 9700 pro w/everything maxed at 1024x768 with 4x anti-aliasing and even with five bots on the map I get 70+ fps on top of the see through floors, so I have no clue what you're talking about. :bulb:Originally posted by _arucard
1v1-crash - somebody started throwing meshes in and didn't stop in time.
1v1-mixer - nice "at least 4 players" map
1v1-irondust - how you can screw a bsp tree with very well placed "seethrough" floors (but it's fun when you hear someone with 3200 proc and 9800XT complaining about fps)
General impression: GRAPHICS >> GAMEPLAYComment

Irondust isnt the one that hits the frame rates imo.
1v1-Desolation is.
Frame rates drop too much in parts for that to be a playable 1v1 map.Comment

When I look from RL to LG my fps drops from 70 to 30 on irondust.Comment

Personally I'm not interested in the UT2003 maps so my comments don't apply to them.
I think so many of the new UT2004 maps are really incredible. Very nice fragging maps. I just feel so immersed in them. Most are not overly done as eye candy maps. I haven't played them in TDM yet but in regular DM they are extremely fun.Comment

I agree. Compared to the UT2K3 DM maps (not counting some of the excellent bonus maps), the new ones shipped with 2K4 are near perfect. They remind me of some of the classic UT maps.Originally posted by Ultron

Speaking of which, I'm really enjoying Curse-lite and the Deck remake. And while I was never a huge fan of the UT Morpheus, I'm enjoying the new one. I like the way the jump pad at the bottom shoots you so high you can "steer" to any of the three goodies that are on the top of the towers. Being able to do that is balanced by the fact that you're a human skeet for the sharp shooters. It's a blast. The Hyperblast map is better than the original too, imho, and looks friggin' awesome. I just discovered I could jump onto the nearby fighter. :up:Comment
