Great single player maps!
Seems like the Mothership one was pretty much half stolen from that Na Pali mod. It's not really that bad though. Had a quick run through. Seems like most of the corridors are pretty small and spammy. Didn't see many alternate routes either. Map reminds me of Asthenosphere...
OceanRunner looks like some UT2004 rip-off. The weapon placement, objectives with 89732648732 health. I couldn't even find any objectives without checking it out in UEd. Obviously the author does not know that UT2004 Assault miserably failed at all points. Graphics aren't that great either, and had quite a few fps drops.
The OrionsCurse one couldn't even start, seems it doesn't like my Demo Manager. I played the old Beta one though. I remember it being like some massive map with a maze of corridors, lifts, autocannons and such, I doubt it's any good either. And I'm sure no one would want to uninstall their Demo Manager cause of some map.
Overall, the authors of these maps have no knowledge of Assault as it is in UT99. The only decent custom maps currently used in this league were mostly made by experienced UTA members. In my opinion it's pointless to even try to make an assault map to be used for multiplayer purposes if you haven't played it yourself, which I doubt any of the authors of these maps have...
Anyway these maps are not bad eyecandy wise, but who cares about great eyecandy in an old game like UT99. Any UT2004 (which is already an old game as well) map would easily win against these maps graphics-wise. And if you want to show off graphics, this is not really the place...
Now try to make a multiplayer assault map that doesn't look too bad either and you'll get famous in UTA!
