ONS-CBP2-Valarna-ECE

How damn cool is this map :P

It has music and Nali Healing Fruit from the original Unreal
Unreal was the reason I got into gaming

...might have to replay Unreal II now

[KnobGoblin]

Unreal II has none of the mysticism as the original game but it's still good fun.

I noticed the Nali fruit in that map too! It's such a tranquil scene but has the potential for mass carnage (did you find the target painter up on the ridge?)... great map to fly around in a raptor too.

Mmmmmmmmm Raptor Map Mmmmmmmmmm
Atleast the Mantas leave me alone up there

[rubicon]

Got an AVRiL for you instead, jjades.

[jjades]

The rocket redirects and heads for the SPMA. As long as there are no obsticles it will hit it

[KnobGoblin]

To add more detail to jjade's response. The SPMA is a ground-based machine that fires a targeting drone into the sky then uses that to rain down artilery on the area targeted. If you shoot an avril rocket at the targeting drone it'll then lock on to the launching SPMA instead (because that's what you want to hit). The drone can be shot down with regular weapons but it's fun to crash into them with a raptor...

Sorry for dragging up this slightly old thread, but I find that this map kinda crappy with the ECE vehicles. Mainly because the SPMA can rain down artillery fire onto the main node from a captured node behind one of the ridges. This makes in very difficult for a comeback. I love the map though without the ECE vehicles.

[glowplug]

I don't like to slight the ECE vehicles but I have to agree with RnR.

Even if you had 12 per team - 8 to contain and hold back the other 10, 2 to find and destroy their SPAM ah..err..SPMA and another to get RnR camping in his tank....

...hang on other team will be trying to do same thing - sheesh - sigh.
