Game Type - UT2D

PS3 DOWNLOAD LINK
Update: Version 1.0 Final
Changes: Added ability to jump out of water.

Mod Type: Game Type
Name: UT2D Version 1.0 Final

READ ME
File Size: 8.31 mb

Description: When jbizzler says, "Turn UT into a sidescrolling fragfest!" he really means it. This is sidescrolling 2 dimensional gameplay jacked-up in a 3D kind of way. UT3 in classic side scrolling style with 4 UT2D game types available, UT2D Deathmatch, UT2D Team DM, UT2D CTF, and UT2D Duel. The character models look amazing in this view. You can use all the custom characters, and using Samus just makes me wish the original Metroid looked this good. UT2D adds another first to the PS3, voluntary crouching. Just tilt down the left analog stick and you will crouch, with the added benefit of steading your aim. This is Final so make sure to reply at the Epic Forums Post with feedback for jbizzler.
Note: This Game Type has a UT2D map included, UT2D-Chaotic by ChaosNight.
More UT2D maps are on the way. Make sure to visit ChaosNight's Map Listings for the latest UT2D maps. UT3MOD.COM will post UT2D maps that are cooked for the PS3 as soon as they become available. Want to make a UT2D map? Make sure to read jbizzler's Epic Forum Post for all the details.

This mod creates gametypes that turns UT3 into a 2D game! You jump a little higher, and some things are missing, but other than that it's basically UT in 2D!"
Thanks jbizzler

Mod Type: UT2D Map

File Size: 10.3 mb
Description: The first UT2D map cooked for the PS3. This is a fun map to play and highlights the potential UT2D has.

GoodAndy writes, "
I originally intended a sewer looking map. The sewer idea has kind of evolved. I mean, does it look anything like a sewer to you? But yet, I kept the name so far. After playing it, you can suggest a new name if you want. Please tell me what you think of the look and gameplay.
The map has somewhat different play style than other UT2D maps. Instead of a beautiful background, it has a foreground which somewhat blocks your view, making opponents jump out every so often. Very suspenseful and eerie map, although a blast to play.
Please feel free to comment!"
Thanks GoodAndy

Description: This is a great looking UT2D map with sliding doors and an awesome industrial look. There is lots of areas to wall jump so make sure you practice.

DazJW writes, "
Player Spawns are in the bottom corners, on the pipe ledges and in the top corners (on both sides of the map). Flags are in the bottom corners.
Weapon Spawns:
Armour Vest - Left and Right, middle floor.
Medium Health - Left and Right, top floor room.
Shock Rifle - Left, top floor.
Shock Rifle - Right, top floor.
Rocket Launcher - Middle, bottom floor.
Rocket Launcher Ammo - Middle, middle floor.
The two vertical shafts at the bottom have mesh grates over them so you don't fall into them. Either side of the middle there are doors so you can't stand at one flag and spam the other."
Thanks DazJW

Vehicle CTF Map - Aggressive Alleys 3 HOT, WET

PS3 DOWNLOAD LINK - WET
PS3 DOWNLOAD LINK - HOT
UPDATE: Added "HOT"

Mod Type: Vehicle CTF Map
Name: Aggressive Alleys 3 WET
Aggressive Alleys 3 HOT
Author: ChainsawFilms
Website(s):ChainsawFilms.com , Epic Forums Post
READ ME - WET
READ ME - HOT
File Size: 35.7 mb
Description: I'll try to keep this short, since ChainsawFilms already describes the high quality of this map in his original post. You should really just download this one, it's a really great VCTF map!

ChainsawFilms writes,
"WET - Night time. Lots of rain and lightning. Both teams have Axon vehicles. Each team has a Double Damage and Redeemer.
HOT - Day time. As the sun scorches the Earth, the Necris have infected the Blue base. Red have Axon vehicles, Blue have Necris. One central Redeemer.


Inspired by a personal favourite UT2004 map. Not exactly a remake as a lot has changed, but you can certainly see a lot of the original in it.
I've decided to release a few versions of this map. If you like one, please give the others a go, they're all different to play.
To start with there's the original WET version, which is set at night time in a storm.
HOT has quite a different flow to it, with different weapons, vehicles and items. HOT is set during the day, with twin suns and the Necris infecting the Blue base.
Forthcoming will be PRO, and eventually a Xmas variant. I'm interested in the post-processing and what effects the engine can achieve; how you can radically alter a map with different lighting and post effects.
I've tried to build it to the same standard as the Epic maps, I guess time will tell. I've chucked quite a lot in to each version - lightning, there's a few custom textures, extensive material alteration. Hopefully it's also highly playable map!"
Thanks ChainsawFilms

Deathmatch Map - Odysseus


PS3 DOWNLOAD LINK

Mod Type: Deathmatch Map
Name: Odysseus
Author: Xermacor
Website(s): Epic Forums Post
File Size: 23.1 mb
Description: I can't believe this is Xermacor's first map. Not only does it look great, but it doesn't feel like a first map as it is more intricate and ambitious than many other deathmatch maps out.
Xermacor writes, "
This orbital station, Formerly used as an outpost, has been renewed for tourism industry.
You'll find there all kind of basic weapons, 6 upgrades (superhealth, u-damage, belt...). I wanted to balance open spaces and closed ones. Open spaces are : in the space and the indoor garden. But don't worry, you can easily jump beyond fences. I also thought a place for professional snipers would please some of you (where you can kill and be almost protected, but keep an eye behind you).

As some of you may have seen it in the "beta release" section, this is my first map ever made. Feel free to tell me what's right (I'll keep it for the next map - already in my mind) and what could be improved (and
how). At least, I hope you'll already enjoy this one!"
Thanks Xermacor

CTF Map - Ranel

PS3 DOWNLOAD LINK

Mod Type: CTF Map
Name: Ranel
Author: BaD-KarmA
Website(s): Epic Forums Post
READ ME
File Size: 11.4 mb

Description: A fun CTF map that doesn't over-complicate its layout the way a lot of the more modern CTF maps seem to. When you grab the flag you have a few options for which path to use to score it. Along the way there are plenty of walls to dodge off of to avoid fire, and you can intertwine the path to throw off your enemies.
BaD-KarmA writes, "
A remake of the UT99 map CTF-Ranel for Unreal Tournament 3 originally created by David DAVIDM Munnich.
Thanks to VoodooFox for all the tech help ,without his help this map would have taken much longer to release. Thanks to Azzurro and VoodooFox for testing the map when needed."
Thanks BaD-KarmA
