Other events included are the Crusher, Drawbridge and MineCart event.

The event shown features a helicopter which scans the level for enemy targets and shoots at them. Breaking line of sight will cause the helicopter to pause firing, and after a short period of being out of sight it turns to search for another target.

This image shows another event for the DearLord level. It features an airplane that does several sweeps of the gameplay area dropping grenades towards players. Players can shoot the helicopter and airplane causing them to catch fire and leave the scene.

This shows of one of the events for the Lost Highway level. This specific event had a truck which started off-screen and raced through the middle of the level. It had interactions with physics assets, particle effects, physics volumes and

This event alters the level flow and forces a choke point within the map. It can be disabled if the player is a good enough shot and can master the timing.

This is an example of material instances used to link materials to matinee sequences.

CTF-Atonement

By Jaret ‘Crude’ Illingworth

Version: 1.0
Compatibility: PC – PS3

Description: (An Unreal Tournament 3 Level)
“Hundreds of years ago this planet ignited into a brief but global nuclear war. Remnants of the planet’s architecture can still be seen but these shattered walls still coated with fallout will provide no solace.”

Comments:
Thanks to Jamie for her feedback throughout the length of the project, having a traditional artists opinion at my whim made the environment come together better than I had anticipated.  Thanks to Bruce for critique and feedback on my level from various points.  Also thanks to the users at epicgames forums for their comments and suggestions, it helped me polish my level to a much better degree.  I hope you enjoy the level!

–>Fail Safe measures seem to be working for abnormal game conditions such as players voting for Normal and Advanced at the same time.
–>Spawning of Crystals has been resolved to only spawn one per cycle.

–>Known Issue: Voting is not team dependent
===>If you’re not willing to vote in the time it takes the other team to get to your side of the map then you probably don’t care anyways what mode the map is set to.
