DOM FNB Big And Rusty

DOM FNB Big And Rusty

UT DOM - 3 CP - Large, 12-24 players. Abandoned Liandri water processing plant. Released October 2018.

This map is a DOM conversion of the giant CTF-FNB-Big And Rusty map, and like the CTF uses UTR XPickups to speed up the gameplay.

I got the idea to convert this one after having successfully converted some other large maps for DOM gameplay. God knows we need MORE domination maps!

The original "Big and Rusty" was based on the CTF-6H-BigAndRusty which I made for "King Mango's 6-hour challenge" contest held at Unreal Playground during September 2003. This was judged to huge to be fun for server play so was put on the shelf.

After that a scaled-down Rusty map was released instead (exact same layout, just 50% smaller). Well, fast-forward to now and include UTR XPickups with lots of "double-speed" powerups and suddenly this beast is not so huge. Fill it up with masterful BOTS and enjoy!

Rusty was still quite LARGE and had considerably BETTER gameplay and performance that it's giant predecessor. The map was generally well received by players online at the time, and feedback was provided to further improve the gameplay. the result was CTF-FNB-Rusty][ which is the BEST rusty map, without a doubt.

The BOTs are very aggressive in Rusty ][ and can snipe you, deemer you, kill your a$$ good, and grab and CAP by randomly using multiple routes - thanks to the Bot-40 smart Alt-path actor!

I still had plans for the old giant map, thinking if I could make it more exciting, it might have a life. So during January 2011 I converted the monster to use UTR XPickups from UT99.org. Well that worked out quite well. A slightly different CTF experience with XPickups. Might even work well with strangelove rockets or Quantum Fighter Jets.

Anyways, worthy of a release IMO after all these years. Cheers!
