I had second thoughts on adding Altena, but after two days of playing it I've come to the conclusion that this is indeed, Pwnage. The theme yells Thief 3, which is great because just between you and me I’m getting tired of the same old industrial maps, which are a dime a dozen.

What we've got here is a rather nicely sized map, with most of the action taking place outside in the courtyard areas. The small inside area’s are my only concern, they’re rather cramped and have poor lighting to boot. The map plays extremely well, as the author suggests get 2 other people in and you’ve got yourselves a party. I also really enjoyed the positioning of the Damage amp. It’s a doozy, find it and take care on the way out. Overall a solid map, it has the gameplay to back up the extremely detailed and luxurious visuals.

I downloaded this map from NC after I heard abt it here and boy does this map rock! hope Sar can make another map as good as this soon!

definately deserves this accolade. Reminds me of Thief and Quake 3, lot's of different styles used and they fit so well.

This pack needs no justification, which makes my job easier. The 1on1-Pack contains six new DM maps, all providing great gameplay and visuals. Some of these guys worked on the retail UT2004 maps, so I guess you could say they know their stuff. If you're stupid enough not to have it yet, then you've failed. Grab it now my friends! Oh and DM-1on1-Idrus-due would have to be my pick of the bunch, not to say the rest aren't super as well. *Cough: Weapon bases please!!*

the stuff UT 2k4 is made of

This map is flawless flow lighting and meshes. get it fools :p

Here we have a classic example of a map that's low on the pretty yet still manages to deliver decent visuals. Scourgem also made use of BarneyBoy's Photorealistic texture pack, which as most of you know is hawt.

Anfractuous2 is a remake from the classic UT days, and it pretty much shows as this is what CTF is all about. Flow, flow, flow! The flag room has plenty of room to set up some strong defence, and it also provides a quick way out. 100 shield is located in the centre of the map, and a quick lift-jump or translocater shot will see you flying through the collapsed ceiling for a 50 shield which is located in both teams bases. Only gripe is the blue team got left with red lights (See 1st screenshot) so I'm guessing novices might have a few hitches at first. Add it to your collection, you'd be crazy not to.

Yep, it's probably one of the best custom CTF maps avaliable for UT2004 at the moment. I'm a real sucker for BarneyBoy's texture pack too.

I'm liking this map :)

Soma's contribution to the Community Bonus Pack 2 is a Greekish themed map which not only looks hot, but plays like a wet dream as well. This is the sort of map I'd want to see attached to a resume, it's got a mix of both worlds and that's hard to find these days. I find most artistic maps play like crap, and thus they're pretty much rendered useless. Achilles flow is great, and it's rather open in the top section allowing for some rather good LG shots. Both a 50 shield and 100 are present and both can be reached by strategically placed jump pads - some good last second snagging to be had I tell ya! Soma is a God, and should be respected like the great Achilles once was.

This map owns

This map has made it into my usual map rotation.

"Where the f**k is the stupid Pistola?" I dunno, but I know where the Pwnage is, right here baby. I remember giving the beta of Pistola a whirl before it was finished up for the CBP2 and all I can recall is happy thoughts. There were a few terrain holes; both LG and Sniper Rifle were present and a few little quirks here and there but nothing to stop me from having a good time. It goes without saying that some of the CBP2 maps are above and beyond retail quality and Pistola shines in that respect. The map itself isn't huge, but I think it's just about right. There are two entrances to each base, both of which wind themselves around to meet up with the flag room. The Flag room's a little cramped but good enough I guess, the two jump pads certainly spice it up a bit. The mid-section is by far the maps strongpoint. It's nice and open, has both a 100 shield and damage amp and did I happen to mention it happens to look purty too?

This map rocks on instagib, sniping people hunting down the flag carrier :D

Glad you like it ;)
