Just wanted to say hey real fast ..

Your VCTF maps are wicked sick! - looks like another keeper. - Glad to see ya still around and at it Tarnation.

[tarnationsauce2]

Yeah I am going to finish off my other Beta maps (Crystal Skull & Ultradark).

Lotus has 3 main Z axis levels. I think it actually works pretty good for an area. It is pretty easy to get from level to level and it's wide open that makes is predictable like arenas always are.

Hey tarnation wat about your another wip maps ( a ctf ones I think...)? how is going their development?

This map would need some z-axis variance for my thought is too straightforward and somewhat a bit predictable. Overall me likes the chinese enviroment

If Worf himself likes the Worf video then who am I to disagree


and hey come to think, maybe we should get Worf hooked on UT3 … damned if there don't just got to be at least two dozen ways to say "M-M-M-Monster Kill" in Klingon

Thanks. You like my Worf video? Hehehhe.

Yeah it's an arena map for sure. But it looks better than your average arena. I kept detail pretty tame though for good frame rates, especially for lower detail settings.

[Veggie_D]

It reminds a little of the Arena-of-death/life/jolt/whatever maps. That's some good lookin' flow.

Watching the hammer jumps made me joypuke a little. Then youtube made me watch the Shut up Worf video again. I did not mind this at all either.
