The idea for this map was quite spontaneous and inspired by
my 2012-Christmas map "CTF-CMF".
I decided that I should try to make my very own interpretation
of a Halloween map for UT2004 and here it is.
On first sight, it might not look scary for the average
UT2004 player, but those who are mappers and/or have made bad
experiences with BSP errors/holes, might think it is a scary
map!
The focus on the map is on fast gameplay with unaltered pawns
(in size, speed, etc.) and unaltered gravity (low gravity not
recommended).
For those of you, who do not think it is scary even if they
are mappers who have had experiences with BSP holes, I
included a special location for you to give you at least a bit
of the classic Halloween-feeling.
Furthermore, I have put two eastereggs into this map. If you
do not know which ones but are curious about them, I recommend
to play my Christmas map CTF-CMF and use Wormbo's "Christmas
Decorations" mutator/server actor.

Description:
_____________________________________________________________
The universe as we know it seems to be gone since long and you
are trapped in this weird black something that seems to be an
interdimensional gap. However, the Tournament continues. Why?
Noone knows. It could be the joy of killing and the
impossibility of dying for good in this weird gap, which leads
to just one logical conclusion: There is no other form of
entertainment but to kill each other and steal the flags that
survived the transition! But after an immeasurable period of
time, weird things started to happen. The combatants fell
through holes and all of the sudden, everyone left the arena
that they celebrated Christmas on just to fall onto another
kind of arena, which faces a huge purple whirl. It appears to
be some sort of portal, that seems to destroy this environment.
Where does it lead to? Why is it there? Does it cause the
instabilities? Could it lead to a new dimension, a better
dimension, one that looks and feels like your old one? There
is just one way to find out... But first, it is time to
capture some flags! - Happy Halloween!
