ONS-Icarus Released, ONS-Icarus 0wns!
Top Unreal community mapper Chris 'Plutonic' Blundell has released his first Onslaught map, a map which was developed during his time at Epic as a contract Level Designer. Here's what he had to say about the map.
I am proud to announce that ONS-Icarus has been released and is available for download. Icarus is a significant departure from the ONS maps released with UT2004. The setting - a massively tall set of buildings - provides for a more vertical game play dynamic for all vehicles in the region around the central nodes. In particular, ramps and elevated floors/platforms create great opportunities to get some serious 'air time'. Jumping the vehicle is a core component of matches in ONS-Icarus!
The map is also the first UT2004 level to receive the 0wnage award, and it can now be found on the '0wnage Maps' section of the UT2004 'Community' menu.
