I like Invasion as a gametype, in which you and your team are deposited on some arbitrary DeathMap to fend off wave after wave of unreal-style monsters intending to gut you. There’s a brief respite between waves to let you catch your breath and glug a well-needed slug from the nerve-calming beercan until the next…
The Different Flavours Of MonsterHunt From what I can gather, there are several versions of the MH mutator around: Stock MonsterHunt. Affectionately known as “MonsterHunt 1”. The last version was 504, so it may by listed as “MonsterHunt504” in some places. MonsterHunt2. MH2Gold or MH2Package. This was developed in the light of limited features in…
As a gametype, I love ONSLAUGHT. DeathMatch (DM) and Team DeathMatch (TDM) gametypes have a simple no-brainer goal: racking up kills. Skill plays a part in it, as does knowledge of the maps: knowing areas to hide, places to jump, safe and dangerous zones, routes to navigate, etc. These attributes also help on Capture The…
For the initiated, MonsterHunt is – as the name suggests – about hunting down monsters. It shares many characteristics with the original Unreal game, in which the player is moving from stage to stage, solving puzzles (which generally amount to “how do I get through this level? Where’s the switch/lever/tile that opens the gate/raises the…
Why is the speed so bad when downloading maps? When switching to a map that the player actually lacks, the server can offer it as a downloadable file, meaning the player can sit back and let it download into the client-side cache, then recommence play. There are two downloadable locations: the gaming server itself…
Updates to link configurations are now available on the server for eleven (11) of our existing Onslaught (ONS) maps, without doubt this should help mix it up a bit as you play through. Jump on the server and give them a try.
Well, I’ve completed my playtesting of many VCTF maps, and my conclusion is… most of them are complete and utter shit. Let’s back up a bit. What differs VCTF from CTF is the “V” bit, which stands for VEHICLES – meaning justifying vehicle use for crossing large land masses (and running down players, naturally). Standard…
Some more map updates: We’ve made additional changes to the lineup for Onslaught (ONS). With four new maps in the rotation there is plenty of frag hell to be had. Come join us in the fray or read on for more information about each map.
The following VCTF maps have been retired: VCTF-ApA][Starrz2 – this was somewhat bland and lacking detail (the map itself doesn’t even have screenshots, just a clan logo) and the floating platform doesn’t make it great gameplay for vehicles – most times you’re fighting with the slopes. It’s also another map in which flagcapping is performed…
Continuing on from three new maps being added, brings news of more maps added to the server: ONS-Celebis This is a large green hilly map, with fog distances and nodes placed in artificial structures. Plenty of flying and long-range action, along with some crazy links. This is what we want! This is what we’ve got!…
