WAR-Downtown CE_Beta 1 (PC)

WAR-Downtown CE (competition edition)
beta1
changes from stock version:
1. removed the ability to drive tank over scorpions up on to platform at prime nodes.
2. you cannot get behind the core. The blocking volumes I placed to stop this do interfere with the direct hit of a redeemer rocket but the damage still registers.
3. added shock rifle to primary node(s) weapon lockers.
4. added extra entrance to primary node building(s):
5. reduced desaturation of post processing: IMO the map looks better. Not a necessary fix but why not...
6. added ONS2 node link setup with support for extra weapons that ONS2 adds. <-----not comp related but it comes at no extra cost.

test
yay, I can comment finally
These fixes should help this map immensely. I've always hated this map the most out of all stock war maps. But I seem to be a minority. It gets voted constantly

I know....
I dont really like this map either but without the bugs that Epic refuses to acknowledge it should play better.
" It gets voted constantly" ----proof that there is lead in our water supply

4 things...
1. I like the new entrance in the primes!! A new twist to entering and leaving primes.
2. I like the new color to it now!
3. I really don't like the pillars in the primes now. Is there another way you can block vehicles from getting up there?
4. Is there a blur added to the map? It was bugging my eyes when i would be driving straight in a scorpion while looking in another direction. It was almost like a blur, maybe it is always there and i am just noticing it now Lol.

thanks
3. I really don't like the pillars in the primes now. Is there another way you can block vehicles from getting up there?
there is a tank blocking volume there also BUT you can also get a hellbender up there which a tank blocking volume wont stop. I could remove the pillars but would need something else there to stop a bender.
4. Is there a blur added to the map?
I actually made this map quite awhile ago and may have changed the post processing volume all together, I dont remember. The DOF blur could be easily toned down..
I have added this to beta2:
view is from the center node: where the greenish yellow lines are I made that ramp angle down to street level, in stock you needed jump boots to get up there. At the end is a sniper rifle pickup. I did this to both sides. I will keep this in the ONS 2 setup and it can be decided if its wanted in the comp setup.

Not sure
I know snipers like to sneak up there ( Like Mint Gina and others ).
Not sure if they would like an easy access to it or not, i never go up there so i can't give an opinion on it.

looking good.. i like the new
looking good.. i like the new entrance at prime and +1 for shock rifle 
*meshes arent on the ceiling at prime http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr325/GOW_DaKilla/floatingmeshes.jpg
*i still think you might have room for the hellbender to get up on the corner between both sets of posts http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr325/GOW_DaKilla/dt-ceprime.jpg but i could be wrong. how do you feel about scorp?
*i dont mind the new look... its more like necris version
*you cant use shape charge on core :( well i guess that could be a good thing

enough for me
I'm going to finish Full Worm Garden and the ONS pack and I just wanted to offer a few of my unfinished maps to Noot or Dakilla if either of you wanted to finish them:
Downtown CE
UCMP-ABC
Prime XL
WAR-Rails
Sorry guys, I've poured too many hours into trying to make UT3 better, I cant do it anymore.... I'm going to make 1 ONS map for 2k4 and see how the response is. Other than that I am back playing 2k4 waiting for some new cool game to come out that can replace 2k4.

No replacement for UT3 yet! I find myself getting back into it some, and I'm glad to still see you haunting UT3 as well Sanchez. I heard you were going to tweak this map a little more for the FN ladder. I love all the changes you've made so far, and I just had one point/request. On rare occasions, pulling the tank out of the garage you bump a kill volume and bam the tank is dead. I was hoping you could move that volume a smidgen.
Catch ya later bud!

Nope, Huxley definetly isnt it...... I'm beginning to think the only proper replacement for UT3 will be UT4. Actually I like where UT3 is at right now, other than the lack of online players. This game has just about everything I want in its current state so I guess I have found contentness.
I will look into the kill volumes in DT that you mentioned and adjust them :)
posting is working better today... updated first post with download link, pics, info...
I will add this to the list for the party this weekend. Some T5k guys will be there so this would be a good chance to test this version out and get feedback on what we all want for comp play...
