OMC 3: The RA2 5th Place Is...
As you've seen on yesterday's picture, I'm glad to announce that EA is trully sponsoring this competition. The proof has just arrived at my home yesterday. A big heavy box with several RA2 collectors edition games, TS Platinum Edition boxes, soundtrack from Emperor and Renegade, Official Red Strike Strategy Guides, and 30 Renegade mousepads!!! Yea, 30 mousepads! I'm using one. The other 29 will be distributed. Here's the picture:
Also, I'd like to apologise for uploading a map on sunday with the wrong read me file. I have too many read me files for each map, because I have the original one in a zip, the original one extracted, the competition one in another directory... so I missed the file. Fortunatelly, this issue has been fixed few hours ago. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
After some bla bla bla above, it's time to reveal the 5th place who is getting a Renegade mousepad! The lucky creature is known as ArissDJ! He is a veteran, a professional mapper that has submitted some thumbs up YR maps for RADEN. But he has estabilished his own mapping home at YUCNC. His site all the thumbs up RA2 and Zero Hour maps he submitted to DGN sites and some interesting modding tools.
His map is Ascension, the first non symetric map from the RA2 maps I've played so far. It's a big desert four players map. Each base has several entrances, some oil derricks close. The center is full of tech buildings and it also includes one spy satelite with several power plants, hospitals, secret labs, airport, among other oil derricks in the center. Watch out for some dogs protecting some of them. There are few resources close to each start area and you'll need to expand with derricks or rely on miners gathering ore on dangerous areas. There is a city in the center where some of the tech buildings are located. I love the details and the atmosphere of the map. It deserves its spotlight. Here's the details:
