Happy New Year to all of my fellow UT/Unreal diehards! I might not be able to get much mapping in this year but I will definitely be on the MCC server having a good time a couple of times a week.
My UT New Years resolution is to score one point against Enoch in a one-on-one match. I know it’s a lofty goal but I think I can do it with a little luck :D.
Now that he has been away from Epic for a while, Cliff Blezinski is hinting at a new arena style shooter developed for PC. I for one will keep my eyes peeled for this one since Epic has left us high and dry without an Unreal or UT for so many years.
Cliffy’s influence can be felt all over UT99 which is one of the reasons it was such a great game in my opinion. People are jumping on the Cliffy hate bandwagon these days just because they are bored, but I’m definitely going to be rooting big time for a Cliffy designed arena shooter!
Check out the article HERE. You can listen to the Podcast HERE.
Wizd3m is going after another one of our faves on the MCC server, Andrew “Mclogenog” Yoder’s DM-UOF-LP-Genki. The first paragraph of the map review will have you LOLing guaranteed!
I think the popularity of this map on the server is due to the, ahem, the older crowd that regularly hits the server :P. I not only enjoy the fun layout of Genki but the ease of seeing my targets makes it a keeper for sure.
Wizd3m does point out some salient points regarding things like the use of the stock jump pads which I have to agree with. However, having made custom pads myself in DM-MCC-SpaceNoxx, I can definitely understand not wanting to take the extra time! Check out the review HERE.
Here’s a sweet new frag movie from LoRD with high production values and excellent use of Rypel Cam. He is calling this his last UT3 movie.
Hourences has been working on a new game called Solus using Unreal Engine 4. Anything he does gets my immediate attention, such an uber talent the man is. Here’s a video of pre-alpha work on it:
I had the physical server that the MCC server is hosted on rebooted to see if we can fix the lag issues. At the moment it looks like it has taken care of the problem but we will have to test it out further under load :P.
PlayForGG has released an updated version of his pro-style Malevolence which is definitely server worthy. It’s already installed on the server and can be voted for under the HOLP section. A download link is available under the Maps menu above and also on the Epic release thread HERE.
Wizd3m has a new review up of another UOF LP map, DM-UOF-LP-Diabolical. This map surprised me personally. My first thought when I saw the first screenshots is that it wouldn’t be much fun and I’d be falling off all of the time.
Surprisingly, the thing the makes the map for me was added in a post release fix! I’m referring to the variable fog which makes the map very dynamic and keeps up the interest level. Sure it’s a gimmick map but it’s surprisingly fun for me to mix things up between the usual maps.
Taken on its own, as a traditional UT map, it probably won’t get as high of marks which is how Wizd3m reviews it. Always entertaining to read, check out his new review HERE.
All of the new COMP 2 maps are installed on the server. They are listed under the “Deathmatch – HOLP” vote menu. If you haven’t installed them yet, you should be able to get them from the redirect. Please post any issues in the forum.
I brand new “COMP” pack has been released on the Epic Forums today! Led by the maker of DM-Facemash, NØØb_Zaibot and supported by various folks including members of the UOF team, this pack is a long time in coming. I may not be able to get these up on the server right away but rest assured, they will be soon! Early Christmas present guys! Download it HERE.
