DM-300K-SHTZ-N-GGLZ

UT Deathmatch (DUEL map ). Small, for 2 to 4 players, uses UTR XPickups and features two double-speed chargers. Released June 2010.

Yep, I really did make this map just for "shits and giggles", so it's not really a "serious" high-detail map. It is speedy as hell and good for getting your, erm, aggression out :) Basically, a nice looking 300K map with game play centered around one whacky concept: *** SPEED IS LIFE ***

This map was created for the Blito3 300K 2008 contest. I used a small terrain and the old tesselated cubes method and managed to come up with a stable low-poly cave but the map was 390K in the end and I could not get it smaller, so I shelved it again.

During 2010, I was working on some other large and complex map projects, and the old heavy workload boredom was starting to set in - I decided I'd blow off some steam and fiddle around with the UTR XPickup chargers. So I pulled out the little cave map from 2008 and plunked in a UTR double speed XPickup.

After a few matches where I totally dominated 3 BOTs, I decided to add in a second DS charger at the other side of the map and increased the BOT skill to Masterful. OMG! Totally different result - I was hard-pressed at times to stay ahead of the damned BOTs!! So that's when the tweaking began. So now here's a nasty little DUEL map with a double-speedy twist! Altogether it took me about 8 hours to make this version including the time it took to build the 2008 300K map.

Thanks go to UT99.org and the makers of UTR XPickups and especially the XReplacer mutator :)

And of course many thanks to Tom_caT for great BETA testing and for good suggestions on placements.
