description

Initially a confusing array of catwalks and ramps, this layout forces careful advance due to the threat of overhead attacks. The ground level is littered with crates and barrels, while the 1st floor level is a series of catwalks.

comment

This is a very robust and atmospheric map. Atmosphere is a tricky thing to encode into a map. We are beginning to see some beautiful and well designed maps for UO these days, but sometimes they lack atmosphere - not the Bootcamp though. Atmosphere come courtesy of interactivity, lighting and texture, and Bootcamp has them all.

For some reason this map reminded me of playing Alien on the Playstation when it was first released - that game broke the atmosphere benchmark - just like Bootcamp has for Urban Ops modding. A lot of this is due to the great, all new textures - just check out those crates for example. The lighting and colours also add to the effect as do the storage barrels that react to being shot at.

The layout is superb, the possibilities are exciting for team adversarial with plenty of crates and storage drums to offer cover, and walkways for surprise attacks.

The multiplayer game has the map altered in three slightly different ways to offer variation in gameplay - and it works, we played this mod far longer than anticipated during the play test.

All in all a tremendous mod - I can't wait to see the full package that GravediGGa is putting together.
