This is my first Winter map
Visually, I wanted to obtain a lifeless, cold environment. To reach my goal, I made a few master materials, then created a plethora of MIC's to apply them on stock meshes. It was a tedious and very long process but I'm proud of the final look 
Gameplay wise, to accommodate the Greed game mode, I've made the following changes:
- Removed UDamage / KEG / all armors
- Put the flags where the UDamage was located
- Redone all playerstart
- Relocate all pickups (weapon base location + health + ammo)
- Open up the garage to add gameplay there (this area is blocked in DM near the Rocket Launcher). Had to readjust all collisions, blocking volumes and change some stuff a bit
Features:
- Remade all materials on BSP, meshes and terrain to add a snow and/or ice look
- Remade all ambient sounds to fit the winter atmosphere, reflect a cold lifeless place
- Remade the sky and sun materials
- Tweak the main lighting, heightfog and post-processing
- All the lanterns*lights actors now emit orange lights instead of red and soft blue lights instead of dark*blue
- Replaced most animated effects (smoke, water drops, etc) by falling snow, a custom made particle (your settings must be set to high quality to see it)
- Lowered the speed of rotating or moving objects
- Change the music track
Note: This level was supposed to be release exclusively with UOF Map Pack 5. I've finished the map in November 2013 but sadly, UOF Map Pack 5 for UT3 as been canceled. This is the standalone release of the map. Enjoy
