Author's Notes
--------------
This is a pseudo-arena type level offering high visibility and dynamic-mover action as well as some crunchy sound loops from Meshuggah.
I tried this out with several different geometries, but right angles (yawn) prevailed as far as speed was concerned (what with the loops and all those damn movers). This map has a very dynamic element with the moving walkways changing so often, nothing like knocking the floor out from under someone.
Large-skinned bots (Skytroopers, etc.) will not make it out of the starting gates. This obviously sucks if you prefer to use them, but Unreal has them thrown in by default. Just configure individual bots and switch the two or three big guys out. Sorry, I didn't intend to make a map that discriminated, it was just an architectural deficiency on my part.
Sometimes if you're hauling ass at the eight-balls the sounds just won't trigger. Nothing seems to have helped this.
The cheat I used for the jumpers is glaringly obvious, and at first I was pissed off because it seemed a choice between floating on the ceiling and bouncing down into a spattering heap each time, but after having actually played it this way it got real interesting - it's excellent for sniping but totally exposed.
The weapon placement isn't what I wanted, but the bots just wouldn't quite behave without moving everything around. I made my own hell - it was a sheer bitch getting the bots around this level.
Anyway, that's it for my humble fourth offering. Hope you enjoy.
