Fragging on the Docks

Was able to check out the latest level from BattleCow last night, as Silicon Ice Development cut yet another build on the road to Beta 2, this being build_13. Isn’t that an unlucky number? Oh well, it did give us a chance to check out more ut_docks goodness, as the map has been modified and completely retextured.

[SHOT #1] | [SHOT #2] | [SHOT #3] | [SHOT #4]This is quite the different level than what you have seen and experience in the previous Urban Terror beta versions. Many areas of the level have been changed or removed, in order to help game play and discouraging camping. The interior of many of the buildings has also changed. No longer are we missing a table top texture. I am sure that drove some of you nuts. Probably the most striking feature of ut_docks are the textures. BattleCow has really made this level into a very professional looking map. It is a far cry from what debuted during Beta 1. Look for an updated review coming soon.

We also have a new 6th Floor Poll. Last week’s poll was rather amusing, as a majority of the gamers, thought the majority of SID’s free time better be spent working on Beta 2. Don’t worry guys, it is. This week we beg the question, “What would you do for Beta 2?” Cast your vote for a wacky answer.
