The Verge Of Extinction

The Verge Of Extinction Final UT2k3 map. Based in a foundry that had a small accident and molten metal (lava?) has covered the floor.

Basically double jump rulz and you will be jumping from gantry to gantry or running along gantries in a large room (it's cooler then it sounds honestly). Loads Added and changed since Beta2.

Major Changes: Added since Beta2:

Redid all lighting on the level. 20x better now (trust me)

Added new platform for Super Shield

Added loads of Emitters

Re-textured some area's

Added loads more Eye candy (everybody likes eye candy!!!)

Used Anti-portals where possible

Gantry's no longer see through (so i could put Anti-portals in some of them to help system performance). Also makesit more challenging to track somebody across the level.

Added Sounds and Music

Jump pad added next to Double Damage (nice Emitter fun ;) meaning bot don't get stuck anymore.

Removed some chains and other static mesh's that obstructed flow

About 1,000 other bit's and pieces

Description : Based in a foundry that had a small accident and molten metal (lava?) has covered the floor. Basically double jump rulz and you will be jumping from gantry to gantry or running along gantries in alarge room (it's cooler then it sounds honestly).

I have retextured some of the Static Meshes so this map needs the "vergeofextinction.usx" file put in the static Meshes folder.(i did not know about MyLevel when i made this and it's too late now)

My second map (ever) and first map to release so any comments please don't hesitate to E-mail me.

Please feel free to distribute this map freely. Please do not alter or change this map without asking my permission (i probably will let you i just want to know about it) Contact me at [email protected] .I hope you enjoy my level.
