Forum Treasures: Maps for The Haunted

Hi there. If you've downloaded The Haunted (which we highly recommend), I'm sure you are itching for a few new maps to play on. Fortunately for you, as previously mentioned, I'm addicted to the Epic forums, and have found a couple for you:

• TH-LightHouse beta 3 - "They have cometh to take the lighthouse, the village, and your soul." A large, original Haunted map by John 'Wolverine' Lowe.
• TH-ShangriLa beta 7 - A conversion of the UT3 stock map DM-ShangriLa for The Haunted. Brought to you by FrontAXL.

Enjoy these fine maps, and give the authors some feedback, since they are still beta.

Review: The Haunted

Here's Postal's glowing review of the very awesome The Haunted.

• The Haunted Score: 4¾/5.0

I fully endorse this mod as well. It's absolutely awesome, and I wish The Haunted Team the best of luck in MSUC.

Expect my Crucible review very soon. Also, if there's anything you'd like to see reviewed, please let us know through the forums or email.

Review: Excessive Overkill

We've got one review for you today. Postal reviewed Excessive Overkill.

• Mr Pants Excessive Overkill Score: 4.25/5.0

We have reviews of MSUC entries The Haunted and The Crucible coming for you as soon as I finish editing them. Sit tight!

Forum Highlights

Every day I make a point of spending some time scanning the Epic UT Mod Forums. Don't we all?
Anyway, I figured I'd point out some recent release highlights.

• Mr. Crow and Harlequin -- Everybody's "favorite" UT200X character makes his UT3 debut courtesy of YourPackage.
• DM-RB-Singularity-][-- Hot on the heels of the amazing DM-RB-GrayMatter, Remus releases another amazing DM map. This one's set in space near a singularity and even has a Raptor to fly around in. Remus is quickly becoming one of my favorite mappers.
• Unkimbo UTIII--Thanks to PingFre@k, you can now dual wield all of UT3's deadly arsenal. Check it out and give him some feedback before the final release.

Check these out, and look for more forum highlights soon!

ZOMG! Reviews!

So now that Weapons of Destruction (Mod Pod) is up and running again, I have revamped our review section. And to commemorate this joyous occasion, we bring you some brand new, hot off the presses type reviewage!

First off, we have a review of the MSUC award winning Prometheus Project from Postal. This one deserves all the praise it can get.

From me, we have a review of DazJW's Assault Carbine, a nifty little weapon currently to be found on the Epic forums.

We also have another hidden forum gem for you, Warlord's Random Drop. Here's that review.

Finally, Nemephosis wrote us a review of Mr Big. I'm not sure he understood what he was supposed to be reviewing. Oh well, check it out anyway!

Enjoy the reviews, and if you have anything you'd like to see reviewed, any feedback, etc then feel free to hit up our forums or comment below!

Recovered

We have officially recovered from BU's latest crash/burn/reset. Hooray!

Mr Sandman

So I'm not entirely dead anyway. I've been working on a few UScript projects here and there. Haven't really gotten much working the way it should but hey.

The MSUC results were more than a bit discouraging, and have left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Again. Like last time. Notice how all the winners had custom models? yeah....
