Superman a.k.a. SuperSoldier. We're in the late chapters of Urban Terror. Time to recognize.

Maximum replay value. Consistently populated servers for over 3 years. Immersive urban environment. Faster than fast paced. Vertical combat. Carried the mod during development downtimes. More addicting than some drugs. Absolutely huge map, yet able to handle 2vs2 or 12vs12 without compromise. New types of UrT gameplay introduced. New ways of fighting, dodging, hiding, chasing. Close combat fighting, sniper battles, team warfare. Innovation. Exploitable gameplay for map evolution. A playground of challenges. Plan and execution styles. Course correction, manipulations, and psychological combat. Teamplay enhancement through sacrifice. Interactivity. Combination moves. Chained moves. Everywhere and nowhere to run and hide. Intense action. Fun!

Does this sound like a map you'd want to play? Does this sound like the essence of Urban Terror? Recognize! I'm looking at the man with "P.R." on his nametag!

I love superman.  Indisputably one of the finest and most quality pieces of content this community has ever generated. 

My opinion?  The greatest custom map ever made for Urban Terror.  I like customs, I have lots of favorites and I don't like to choose.

It's highly original, excellent performance, incredible scale, fantastic gameplay.  I could dribble on and on, the map speaks volumes all on it's own.


Salute wily.

Hey, guess that is my name tag. What about superman? I understand it is a solid draw and has been for some time online for many gamers. There have been similar maps (not style of map) that have had the same sort of draw to them, some by the team, others not. I won't speak for the community, but I do like custom levels, but good custom levels. TBH, I don't remember all of what (outside your vivid description) Superman aka SuperSoldier has to offer, but I do stand by the "fun over realism" tag of Urban Terror. I will need until January to get back into the UT swing of things...

I've never understood how some people can play that map constantly.  Perhaps it's because of the fact that I utterly refuse to snipe at all, ever.

Does the auto-download that is enabled by default do any good?

Could you be more of a politician and completely avoid any feedback?

Seriously?

To what I got from that was:

Wily, has been challenging you guys and you guys have been talking him down. From both a developer standpoint and someone who really cares about the community stand point.  GG Oz.

Now all of a sudden you offer him support?  Do you not remember all the support he offered the community and you said you didn't like the idea of helping those get basic map making skills when they were the ones trying to keep this comunnity stay alive; when the developers were offering little?

Wily offered all and every help to help you guys keep this game moving full f'ing bore.  Yiou were one of the big proponents of his thread to help others keep this game alive and now you half way support him and half way shoot him down.  GGs UrT politician. 

GGs Wily.  Keep fighting the good fight. 

At least you got some recognition.

I see nothing negative in what was said. I don't have any time right now to play, load the game or check out any level, so I really can't speak for what the level has become in recent versions (if there was a more recent version). Got too many other more important things to take care of now and UT is not one of them. So that would prevent me from providing any constructive feedback about the level. January will bring me more time as I said.

Never, ever, ever understood the appeal of that map... for the life of me, it still boggles my mind that it not only gets regular play, but there are people out there that actually have this on their server 24/7.  Always seemed to gimmicky to put any real playtime into, imo... unless I was very drunk (yes, that's been known to happen).

I don't like it either though I understand others do.

I think i know why, I find such games more prone to fast gameplay in small maps.

I am wondering how you could possibly be a good representative of the game and cumunity if you state you o'nt have time to even load the game. Seem like your rideing the coat tails of the people who actualy do the work. Maybe that is why our game our comunity is dying or PR is asleep at the wheel. Glad I don't realy find intrest in this game any moore. I do like the new version great job Blade and the others on the Dev team but maybe your game would be gather moore momentum if you had someone actualy working on the promotions of it instead of knocking the people who still care about it.
