CTF-EpicBoy

[Axeman]

Name: CTF-EpicBoy
Version: Final 1.0
Compatibility: UT3 ver 2.1-Titan Pack
Description: Original CTF-EpicBoy for Unreal Tournament created by Warren Marshall. Have fun!
Comments: Always had a great time playing this level in Unreal Tournament. I hadn't made a level (or opened the editor) for a
solid two years, but I felt an inkling to make a new level. With limited time I wanted to remake a level to shorten the dev time.

After looking around I was surprised to see that EpicBoy had not been redone so I decided that I would give it a shot.
I hope that I have captured the mood and frenetic pace of the original.

Hey Axeman

Wow, already final, you are very quick !

I didn't had the time to play the beta but I give the final a run & it's well made, the scale is perfect, good job

I didn't found the map on your homepage yet ?

THX for your work

[Sly.]

Great map!
Whoever voted 1 star for this thread is just stupid and should think about what (s)he has done! This is injustice! Such a great map should get >5 stars!
Voted 5 stars for you to get increase the rating. A 6 star option should be definitely added.

PS: For an UT3 map the size is pretty small

FreakinMeany- thanks for the kudos and the mirrors. Much appreciated.
Thanks for the kudos, Joe, Stevelois, and Sly. I appreciate it.

@Stevelois- yeah- I didn't mess around on the dev of this level. All told it was probably around 2 weeks work on nights/weekends.

@Sly- it is definitely a small level for UT3 which is what was great about the original. It was a small CTF level which led to a frenetic pace. When someone grabs your flag you really have to react quickly to get it back. It also requires(d) great teamwork to successfully cap because you only have so many routes you can take.

I remember a ton of fast-paced, epic clan matches on the original. Loved this map.

Again- thanks for the kind words everyone. I do appreciate it.

Another sexy map thanks dude!

I remember it too well. I still play UT99 from time to time and it is one those maps I always have to play when I launch UT99 (the others are CTF-EternalCaves, CTF-Face, DM-Crane and CTF-High). I didn't play your beta before and I thought it was (as most remakes) scaled up (like 1.5x - 2x of the size of the original map). It was quite surprising to see that the scale is right. It is a faithful remake and although you used UT3 assets it has almost the same atmosphere and style as the original map

I know I already said that but:
Great map!

Men, we "UT veterans" are so old!

Ah- gotcha.
I'm pretty much the same when I play the original as well.

I really spent a bit of time in base-shell mode of testing time from flag to flag in this version compared to original. Got as close as I could. I appreciate that you noticed.

Still feeling an urge to make another level and will have to be another remake due to time constraints (work, kid's activities, etc.). Not sure which one, but I'm thinking a DM level.

[Sly.]

How about DM-Crane? It would look neat in UE3!

I was just looking around and seeing what has been made. I was thinking DM-Crane or DM-Zeto.

[Sly.]

I'd prefer Crane right now. With Downtown textures it must look great!
When you are going to remake Zeto then you should include the Fraghouse Ripper or make two versions: One with the Ripper, one without

[Axeman]

Yeah- DM-Crane could look very good. Ok- I'll do that one.

[FreakinMeany]

lmao! @ we "UT veterans" are so old!

DM-Crane would be awesome ... loved that map. Zeto would be a good choice too. Been waiting for someone to do a decent one for UT3 since Nikoderiko's version of it for UT2004 a while back.
