Details

Layout ; This level consists of a main room with several floors (DM-Deck style) where the engines and pumps are and two other adjacent rooms connected by different tunnels. Simple in design but fun 😀

Gameplay ; 2 pairs of boots are located to the lowest floor. Boots are required to reach the Bezerk. There are also many places that can be accessed by performing liftjumps or using the boots. This level includes all armor, all weapons and all powerups (Bezerk, Invisibility, KEG and UDamage). It was a lot of work getting bots to navigate this level efficiently and use lifts properly.

Visuals ; This level uses the same assets as in CTF-Infiltrate. However, several assets were never used and others have been added. Since these assets are to much underused for my taste, I choose a DM this time in order to create something different that is closer to Epic Infiltrator demo in terms of visuals. I had to use a lot of imagination to create a master material that would allow me to obtain grooves and streaks on all vertical surfaces and a very dirty look on horizontal surfaces. Whether concrete or metal, there is no redundancy.

The level feature the awesome music track ‘Seeker’ by Necto Ulin coming from his Unreal Tournament 99 remixes album.

Note, for all my levels I use Temporal AA since it offers the best visuals.

  1. A nice map Steve! Thanks again. Nice eye for details, as expected 🙂 I have tested the tricks by using the liftjumps to get to all the goodies. If you time it right, this map is a bit easier to master then your last map… I played it a few times, the map invites for some intense matches.

  2. Another beautiful map by Steve! Engine Room is a map large enough for several players, but not so large that the action isn’t always somewhere close by even with a smaller number in the game. I have enjoyed many games on this level with 3-5 players.

    Verticality is key in this map, as players will find an abundance of riches in the powerups placed on both the lowest and the highest levels. Most critical locations can be reached by using the three central lifts, but with two pairs of jump boots (one on each end of the map), players can get to anywhere they need to go.

    I love the view from the Control Room, even though the exteriors seen there are not part of the playing area. Perhaps for a version 2 of this map 🙂

  3. Love the expansive feel. Placement of all the items is perfect. I like how this map is expansive feeling but is not too big for a few players.
