Man. You have NO idea how much time I spent on this map back in the day. Those were the days. Thanks for the music, at the very least.

I kinda wish some simply scripted scenes would show up like this, with a well-defended enemy base with a brain that actually says "YOU WIN" when you blow it up. No new game types. Just a well-constructed enemy base.

With that said, a version of this map could use some pre-set defenses on the enemy side. Something actually hard to get into.

Personally I was waiting for a good CTF gametype to show up here. I tried to keep it true to the original while still maintaining CC flavor, so I couldn't keep the base as "open" as the original was, hence why only one huge door is what lets you access the base.
The idea was that you'd have to keep clones on defense, primarily sniping, just like in the good old UT99 days.
I feel I did what I set out to do, though I'm sure some improvements can be made.

Ahh, that map brings a lot of good memories. Makes me want to play UT again.

Dled, played, it's all good. I love the background.

Except that the background doesn't really loop well on higher resolutions.

Are scene makers not expected to handle higher resolutions? It's just a re-occurring problem I tend to see. And I don't think the player should be blamed for using higher resolutions.

Backgrounds that actually fit CC are very difficult to find/make, backgrounds that work in some insanely high resolution are near impossible. Not to mention gameplay issues with higher resolution. If you want to see where everyone is at any time in skirmish.. fine. But it completely wrecks campaign missions where visibility needs to be hampered at times.

I'm doing it, it will come with the BW:Mercenaries mod. Although instead a flag, it'll be a ball/orb. Kind of like mixing CTF and basketball together.

Does that mean, Infiltration Mode will be possible... ( Soldat Reference... )

Infiltration? With Lua, YOU CAN!

But I'm not so fond of implementing that to BW:Mercs though. I'd do modes like KingOfTheHill (Domination) Deathmatch, Hold The Orb and Capture The Flag.

I also really liked the "Bombing Run" gamemode from UT2k4. Theres a large field, goals on each side and a "ball gun" at the middle. Each team must rush to get the ball gun and then run through the enemy territory and shoot a ball or jump in with the ballgun to score.

Sounds like lethal football.

So, Hold, CTF, KotH, Deathmacth?

And domination for me, is when you completely destroy all the enemy outposts ( which can be easily reclaimed ) , and just try to survive they're repetitive large waves of gulag.
I just wish the AI's intellect is overhauled, and that you use your respawn mechanisms in the your future gametype scenes, and that there is a safe period, in which you die if try to leave the base, to allow you to become ready, until the game starts.

Bombing run would actually work better in CC than it does in UT actually...

I get the impression this map will be a must have when BW comes out.

Is there a way to dynamically scale a background for higher resolutions? This one doesn't look good past 800x600 as I figured that was standard play resolution, but if I can make a fix to show it for everyone without black spots/retiles of the background I will.

Yeah, all you have to do is make your background the highest resolution possible.

Won't that zoom it up too close on lower resolutions?

mmhm. but if you just make it so the rest is blankspace, all is well. or you know, more background. your choice.

Lack of dynamic resizing backgrounds sucks.
