UT2004 Windows XP Bonus Maps

Packs\". What I am sure of, is that these are naturally two excellent Onslaught maps. [b]Ascendancy[/b] and [b]Aridoom[/b]. [b][i]ONS-Ascendancy[/i][/b] (Screenshots 1-4) This one, I liked. It has that... feel to it. The basic outline is rocky terrain, adorned with fascinating crystal structures and small outposts ready for occupying. There\'s also a small base built in to the hillside, which for some odd reason has a Raptor spawn point in it. Each team also starts with an established base, with a good compliment of vehicles. This is a map built for two large teams, no question about it. The terrain layout, the established bases and outposts, and the vehicles on offer - every specialist plays their role on this one. It\'s warfare, and it\'s not in a very friendly mood. I found over 40 different tactical approaches to taking out the enemy side within my first ten minutes of playtesting. This map will lead to some fun battles, this I can guarantee. No two games on ONS-Ascendancy will ever be the same. [b][i]ONS-Aridoom[/i][/b] (Screenshots 5-8) This one is nowhere near as big as Ascendancy. In fact, it only has three powernodes. Still doesn\'t make the map any less playable, though, it\'s just on a smaller scale. The general summary of Aridoom is two small forts in a desert canyon, with some open ground leading between the two, as well as the remnants of a major roadway. It\'s a small map, but there\'s certainly a good amount of cover to use. I wouldn\'t really recommend playing this with more than 5 players per team, it gets cramped at that point. I can\'t really say much about this one, it\'s pretty standard-issue. Good, but standard-issue nevertheless. Overall, this is a twin-pack that needs to be in the arsenal of any ONS player, for quality and playability if nothing else. ~ Kouen
Why this bonus pack hasn\'t already been uploaded here, I don\'t know. (I certainly couldn\'t find it when I did a sweep at any rate.) I\'m also unsure as to why it got the name \"Windows XP Bonus
