Warfare

I was going to take a step away from maps today, and look at the other mods available, but I then spotted War-Valley, on the epic forums. This is a a map for the gametype warfare which is new to the console version on UT3. This involves 'bases' called nodes and each team trying to capture a node linking from one of there existing nodes. Once you have linked all the way to the oppositions prime node you can then go about destroying up, resulting in a lovely cutscene of you destroying the base. Furthermore everytime you capture a node this give you an extra respawn place where you can get in vehicles or rearm yourselves.
Valley is an outstanding map, created by Cr4zyB4st4rd over on the Epic forums and cooked by AnubanUT2 for the PS3.
As well as being set in a valley and looking outstanding the original PC version contained falling snow. The creator questioned whether this would hamper the conversion to PS3 but gladly it didn't and the map still contained falling snow in the PS3 version, without causing slowdown. This is very impressive stuff and shows the strength and capabilities of the PS3 system.
