UT3 C&C Renegade "Hourglass" map.

[Saga]

I have just received The Hour Glass map courtesy of the Renegade team. It is set in VCTF. This is for map testing and is in Alpha stage.

Testing is set to begin on Tuesday the 26th of Feb. at 7pm EST. Those interested either post or let Filak, Jim or myself know.

Yes I played the hourglass map off and on through out the night. As I explained to you Filak, I was trying to beat up the map to look for errors. No errors were found, but when I got into the server Furtive stated he had problems with his Hud. Then he left and other people also reported problems with the Hud. I came back later and 2 other users reported the same problem with that map. I do not know how a map can cause problems with the Hud, but it appears only that map is causing the people problem.

The map looks awesome. So much detail and very well balanced. The placements of the redeemer or even jump boots are excellent. You need to get through a lot of people shooting at you to get the redeemer. I always hate maps that have easy to get deemers, because they become over used. The ONLY wish I can see for this map would be maybe some flying vehicles, but then again the map is smaller sized then Torlan, so maybe it is not needed.

Either way, congrats to renegade for making an awesome map.

The information about the HUD was passed onto the Ren07 team.

The flying vehicles would probably not be added seeing as this was a non-flying map in C&C Renegade. I think they are trying to keep it the same style.
