The 0.1.11 Unreal Tournament update was released today. We’ve continued to iterate on the new Blitz game mode. This release also includes improvements to the match start up process, including having bots participate in warm up to give players something to do while waiting for the match to start, and improvements to host controlled match starting (for Hub and LAN matches).
\n
\nWe’ve also made functional and balance updates to various weapons, including the Redeemer, Flak Cannon, Grenade Launcher, and Lightning Rifle. We’ve also revamped the spawn selection system for DeathMatch, Team DeathMatch, and Capture the Flag. Finally, we’ve discontinued support for the Win32 platform, which had very low player counts and added a significant support burden.

\n\n

\nThe new Blitz game mode combines elements of the classic Capture the Flag and Assault game modes in an intense new round-based mode. Check out Fort, one of the Blitz levels, which is in the midst of its transformation from a gameplay shell to a fully meshed level. We’ve continued to make improvements to the mode, with a focus on improving game state awareness of players through announcements, sounds, and improved HUD overlays. You can now also play Blitz with your friends in co-op against various skill levels of enemy bots.
\n
\nThe Blitz gameplay shell FR-Loh has undergone significant layout changes. The opening area was changed so that the attackers, when they are able to overload one of the sides in the opening area and take the rally, don't get flanked so easily. This also makes combat direction around those rally points a bit more predictable and less circular and helps prevent the defensive positions being able to spam both points. Temple rally was too strong once taken and the old rally point inside of cave right before courtyard was awkwardly placed, causing combat issues.
\n
\nWith the Tower Rally before caves now easier for attackers to take and hold, we moved the cave rally out into the upper courtyard area which is now called "Shrine". The goal was to give the attackers another option/strategy within courtyard, rather than just wanting to overload Temple every time, but also to allow the defense to try to contain the attackers within the cave if they successfully defend shrine. Overall, the main goal was to make the combat direction a little bit more linear and simple within the chokes and allow the optional swings and direction changes be outside in the combat bowls themselves.
\n
\n $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Frelease-notes-may-16%2Fflagrun-1920x1080-973ab183db633cf938ba4cbdeb3ed421cfae2239\"$
\n
\nThe Redeemer now fires a guided missile regardless of which fire button is used. After 0.5 seconds, the guided missile can be detonated (primary fire) or release to continue on its current trajectory (secondary fire). The redeemer explosion now expands over 0.54 seconds instead of 1.08 seconds. The Flak Cannon shard spread is now more consistent. Flak shard overlap radius is now smaller, and reduces to its final size faster than before.Grenade overlap radius, damage, and bounce behavior were all tweaked. Lightning Rifle max ammo was reduced.
\n
\n $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Frelease-notes-may-16%2Fredeemer2-1920x1080-36904b3f342b83a3332a34ab2010db1ed03e7d3e\"$
\n
\nThe new spawn selection system for DeathMatch, Team DeathMatch, and Capture the Flag improves the randomness of what player starts are chosen, and results in more different available starts being used.
\n
\nWe’ve improved the messaging and start up process for host controlled match start, which is enabled by default for Hub matches and LAN servers.With host controlled start enabled, the player who started the match has control of when the match will start. That player can end warm up and start the match at any time, regardless of how many other players have joined.You can check HERE for a detailed change list.

by Sidney Rauchberger
\n
\nToday we are taking a look at the origins, current state, and future of Blitz level design.
\n
\nThis blog post is intended for anyone that has a general interest in our approach and thought process when designing levels, as well as community level designers that are interested in helping contribute to and shape the Blitz experience with their own creations.
\n
\nOur goal is for Blitz to become the primary 5v5 game mode for Unreal Tournament. We want to retain some of the core ideas of what make Arena Shooters fun, while at the same time modernizing aspects of the game that may be stuck in “legacy land” for no particularly strong reason.
\n
\n(All map names in this post are working titles)

\n\n

Origins

\n\n

Our first testing grounds for Blitz were a few of our old asymmetrical CTF shells. We knew that asymmetry was going to play a huge part in the gameplay and feel of Blitz, so those types of maps were a logical place to start to get something up and running quickly.
\n
\nSo what are the origins of Blitz level design, and what did we learn from them?

\n\n

$\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fblitz-level-design-tutorial%2FBigrock-1600x900-ec3867231be0b9f684b36bac872a6221c4dfeccc\"$

\n\n

CTF-Bigrock ended up being the shell we iterated on the most because a lot of its inherent design lent itself well to Blitz as a starting point.

\n\n

Good:

\n\n

\n\t
The closest thing we had to spawn rooms at the time already loosely existed in the attacker base
\n\t
\n\t
The midfield was open while still providing some cover, and the flag carrier’s path was easy to catch up on and track if you were paying attention (instead of our current tagging system, we started experimenting with cameras at certain choke points to make sure the carrier couldn’t sneak by unseen)
\n\t
\n\t
There were three main routes into the defender base, two of which connected back together before hitting the capture point
\n\t
\n\t
Powerup and armor locations made for valuable secondary objectives that were contestable
\n\t

\n\n

Bad:

\n\n

\n\t
While the attackers had spawn rooms, the defenders had none (limited lives weren’t a thing yet)
\n\t
\n\t
While open, the midfield was also incredibly linear - there weren’t many interesting choices to make on your way to the next area
\n\t
\n\t
Dropped flags often ended matches or provided the defending team a huge time advantage because they were so easily locked down (this eventually led to the backtracking mechanic of the dropped flag, which allowed for fun dynamic shifts and decision making around the flag instead)
\n\t
\n\t
Rally wasn’t a thing yet - the whole map felt like one big slouch across without any meaningful checkpoints or gathering spots to hit
\n\t

\n\n

$\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fblitz-level-design-tutorial%2Fblackstone-1600x900-106cf39c889d833bf2624a834007c0dd67029c0d\"$

\n\n

Blackstone was the first shell that was purpose built for Blitz, and incorporated a lot of the lessons learned from testing Bigrock. We learned a ton more with this one and came up with a lot of core components and mechanics of the game mode thanks to this map. It is currently on hold but we may return to this and give a few areas a once over now that we know more.

\n\n

Good:

\n\n

\n\t
Blackstone had a great overall narrative in its structural design and premise that was immediately more easily understood (battlements are a natural first perimeter, breaching a castle, etc)
\n\t
\n\t
It took from the open concept of Bigrocks midfield and expanded and improved upon it by adding a second lane (“Bridge”) next to “River” that allowed for different approaches and forced defenders to chose where to pay attention.
\n\t
\n\t
One of the core concepts born out of this map is the proximity and traversal between the options players get at the first choke point. In “Courtyard” defenders are able to rotate their numbers to anticipate shifts in attackers movements without being too far removed from each side.
\n\t
\n\t
We eventually made a conscious choice to only rely on jump pads for critical path gameplay to allow teams to move together. Lift jumps are still a valuable option but should be looked at as supplemental.
\n\t
\n\t
The redeemer was introduced as a side objective that is only available to the attacking team (it eventually ended up in the attackers’ spawn to prevent griefing and allow it to be a more consistent element in attacker play)
\n\t
\n\t
It introduced the raw form of combat bowls and choke points to the mode with 3 appreciable steps (“Courtyard”, “Antechamber”, “Throne Room”) that eventually led to the creation of rally points (which were first iterated on in this map)
\n\t

\n\n

Bad:

\n\n

\n\t
With the introduction of rally points came the need to purposefully design spaces for them that allowed for enough space around them - which proved to be a challenge with the limited space and still requires more work to make them work effectively
\n\t
\n\t
The attacker lead up into the first combat bowl was too long, repeated spawning (even with rally) often felt tedious (and a bit mazey).
\n\t
\n\t
Choke points were very even in size, and especially deeper into the map were too easily controlled from one position.
\n\t
\n\t
The defender spawns were sitting in between the entrance to the defender base and the delivery point (and had only one exit for the majority of its development) which lead to a lot of spawn camping and frustrating cut-offs
\n\t
\n\t
The defender base had a high entrance that allowed for very volatile trick-jump-insta-cap scenarios that were not easily anticipated and observable, making for frustrating “what just happened” moments.
\n\t

\n\n

Blitz Level Design 1.0

\n\n

$\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fblitz-level-design-tutorial%2Ffortlohmelt-1600x900-3ff14a41599f74fe45c687d8b4dba08974b8fe17\"$

\n\n

The first 3 maps we are moving forward with are Fort, Loh, and Meltdown. We feel these maps best represent the components we distilled down to be crucial to the Blitz experience. One key element to keep in mind is that we are putting a lot of focus on making sure these first few maps are easily digested as an entry to Blitz and don’t try to get into the way of the game mode. We aren’t aiming to be flashy with complexity, but instead are trying our best to distill the experience down to its simplest parts to let the game mode shine.

\n\n

Level Structure & Components

\n\n

The following is a simple structural breakdown of the main components of our maps that so far have been successful. They are a good example of sharing all the same basic elements while at the same time trading length for complexity.
\n

\n\n

$\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fblitz-level-design-tutorial%2FFort_Breakdown-481x1041-eda25096c8e4f60bbfe71d6afe56c6d05a3dec88\"$ $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fblitz-level-design-tutorial%2FLoh_Breakdown-481x1561-4bd7443a009845f42069b9257a949016ea7ba6bc\"$ $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fblitz-level-design-tutorial%2FMeltdown_Breakdown-481x1361-8dfa23f23d85c5353f6ab2b9dad993f53c843cc1\"$

\n\n

The key components shared across all maps are:

\n\n

\n\t
DEFENDER SPAWN
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  Staging area and safe space for the defenders. Provides the ability to heal and stock up on ammo. Only defending team can shoot through exit barriers.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Exits need to establish good flow into defender base and provide options to combat potential spawn griefers. Minimum of 2 exits (or 1 exit in the case of split rooms).
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Make an effort to give attackers good visibility into the area immediately surrounding the spawn door
  \n\n\t\t
  - \n\t\t\t
    I.e. one-way windows, 45 degree slants following the exit, etc.
    \n\t\t\t
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Since players are protected in their spawn rooms we need to be careful not to place the doors in direct line of sight of key areas (i.e. overlooking capture point)
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Opportunity to thematically stage the level, affords freedom to do some set dressing since there is no combat happening.
  \n\t\t
\n\t

\n\n

\n\t
CHOKE POINTS
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  Can be short thresholds or small spaces.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  They are relatively tight, contrast in spacing with the bowls they are connected to and function as funnels for attackers.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Chokes have to be easily understood and identified via their physical structure.
  \n\t\t
\n\t

\n\n

\n\t
PERIMETERS
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  A natural boundary/defensive line that is easily understood by both attackers and defenders.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  The first of these is where defenders are comfortably able to get to within the door unlock time.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Holding and pushing past these thresholds should feel like a big power shift between attackers and defenders.
  \n\t\t
\n\t

\n\n

\n\t
RALLY POINTS
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  Utilized to build or maintain momentum, fake out defenders, quickly rotate between lanes, and gather the attackers together to push.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Placed near (before and/or after) choke points. They need to be oriented in the direction you want rallying players to face as they teleport in. They are ideally situated on the outer edge of the map, adjacent to the major flow direction.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  In most cases, rally points should be in a space that is open enough to be contestable while still offering a moderate amount of cover and/or evasive space.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Rally Points must have a strong landmark nearby (ideally integrated) that can be utilized for call outs.
  \n\t\t
\n\t

\n\n

\n\t
COMBAT BOWLS
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  Bigger and more open, arena-like spaces. Affords largest surface area for gameplay variance and experimentation.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  The carrier is challenged to traverse these with the help of his or her team and *has* to be easily visible to defenders while on the move when someone is paying attention. Making these too porous and maze-like means a carrier can easily sneak through without ever being seen, which is bad. At the same time, we have to make sure that there is enough cover to dart between while still allowing sight lines through easily understandable corridors that are long enough for players to utilize effectively.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Multiple lanes that interconnect with each other and with choke points in ways that add advantages and disadvantages to taking each path.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Pickups (weapons/armor/powerups) act as sub-objectives for players.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  It is generally advisable to not go too wide with these spaces to ensure the overall combat front is maintained and we don’t introduce a secondary perpendicular front.
  \n\t\t
\n\t

\n\n

\n\t
ATTACKER SPAWN
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  Staging area and safe space for the attackers. Provides the ability to heal and stock up on ammo. Only attacking team can shoot through exit barriers.
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Provides access to a Redeemer (spawns after 3 star time has elapsed).
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Exits need to establish good flow into connected combat bowl and provide options to combat potential spawn griefers. Minimum of 2 exits (or 1 exit in the case of split rooms).
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Opportunity to thematically stage the level, affords freedom to do some set dressing since there is no combat happening.
  \n\t\t
\n\t

\n\n

Things Of Note

\n\n

\n\t
Blitz is designed for and played in 5v5 only
\n\t
\n\t
FR-TestMap is the go to spot for copy/pasting the basic level setup and getting started on a new shell
\n\t
\n\t
The basic level flow is intentionally simple and straightforward.
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  While we consider the overall structural breakdown to be established already, there is room for variance and some added complexity inside of the individual elements for future, more advanced designs.
  \n\t\t
\n\t
\n\t
Rally points have the ability to control our Team Door actors (which is utilized in Fort)
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  This can theoretically be expanded to other actors via interface, but it is recommended that this element is utilized sparingly.
  \n\t\t
\n\t
\n\t
We exercise caution when providing attackers and defenders with their default weapon loadouts
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  Attackers typically start with Link Gun & Shock Rifle
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Defenders typically start with Link Gun & Rocket Launcher
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  Those patterns have so far proven most successful for us (5 man shock is insane on defense the same way 5 man rocket is on offense).
  \n\t\t
\n\t
\n\t
It takes some restraint to create a successful Blitz map.
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  It is very easy to get too elaborate with paths and designs, or jump to the conclusion that “more objectives=more choice=more fun”.
  \n\t\t
\n\t
\n\t
The major flow direction of the level should avoid 90 degree angles as much as possible
\n\n\t
- \n\t\t
  We want to avoid creating perpendicular combat fronts as much as possible
  \n\t\t
- \n\t\t
  45 degrees is generally the better choice.
  \n\t\t
\n\t
\n\t
Traversal time from carried object spawn to delivery point should be no longer than 20-25s
\n\t
\n\t
Blackstone, Heist, and Highroad are our other shells that are currently on hold and may be revisited later. They don’t hit the same quality bar yet but may still be useful for investigation of what works and what doesn’t and/or serve as inspiration for improvements in your own designs.
\n\t

\n\n

In Conclusion/The Future

\n\n

The entirety of the creation of Blitz throughout its various iterations has been a huge team effort. Every discipline on our internal team as well as the community have had an influence and helped in solving particular problems in unique ways across all fields.
\n
\nThe team is currently hard at work turning our first Blitz shells into finished levels and is continuing to refine the overall experience.
\n $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fblitz-level-design%2Fsidbio-1920x1281-0200341cfd58af9dfccc9715874ee08f41be2524\"$
\n
\nAt some point soon we will be taking a look at what to tackle next with regards to future Blitz levels and we’ll likely be looking at ways to reconfigure the formula without straying from the overall structure. We’ll also be exploring ideas that can afford to offer some more advanced and intricate geometry without creating an experience that is opaque and unfriendly to people that are just starting to get their feet wet.
\n
\nThis is where the community can have a huge impact on further shaping Blitz by refining and pushing on existing standards as well as exploring ideas that might otherwise be seen as fringe but could turn out to be amazing.
\n
\nWe hope this article will serve as a useful resource. Please feel free to leave questions in the comments or on the forums and we’ll try our best to answer them.

Stacey Conley: Where did you get the idea for Fort?
\n
\nStuart Fitzsimmons: The initial idea for Fort actually spawned from a discussion I had after an early Blitz play test. A lot of the level design for flag run is based around having larger maps with five minute rounds. At the time, I wanted to try a modification to the game mode which reduced the round time and condensed some of the action into more bite sized chunks. To do this effectively, I needed a smaller map that people could instantly understand but also offered a wide variety of ways to score. That is when I came up with the idea of making Fort. A fort is immediately recognizable as a defensive structure and so players can very quickly know what they need to defend or attack, depending on which team they are on.

\n\n

$\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fthe-making-of-fort-part-two%2FFortEditor2-2556x1395-f95d1c4e11bc4eb99ba616930f2e7ccb4729acac\"$

\n\n

\nSC: Did you do a storyboard first, or did you have the layout in your head?
\n
\nSF: I actually had the initial idea for the structure of the Fort in my head and just dove into the editor and started building. The rest of the map then came organically as I was building and solving problems around the structure. In the past, I've certainly used sketches for some maps but it always just depends on how strong of an idea I have at the start. Sometimes I like to just jump in and start laying down shapes.
\n
\nSC: What is your first step when you open the editor and start the map?
\n
\nSF: My initial focus when starting a map is usually on trying to establish the scale and combat distances of the main focal point of the level I'm building. With DM-Chill, I started out building the main courtyard and establishing the distances between the buildings and connection points. With Fort, I started building up the main defensive wall and figuring out where I wanted the entry points of the structure and how they interacted with their surroundings. I wanted the fort to be a convex type structure so the defense feels like they were gradually getting pinned in and attacked from all sides towards the end of the round.

\n\n

\nSC: How do you decide what needs changed?
\n
\nSF: A lot of the changes to a map usually come from a mix of personal experience as well as play test feedback within the team and from the community. With Blitz also being under development while I came up with the layout for Fort, a lot of the changes have been influenced by the progression of Blitz as a game mode. Gameplay mechanics like "Rally" coming online have definitely dictated some of the flow of the level mixed with general play test feedback within the team.

\nThe 0.1.10 Unreal Tournament update was released today. Blitz is the new name for the new game mode we’ve been calling Flag Run. It’s continued to see a lot of improvement. This release also includes the final Grenade Launcher mesh with new animations. There have been a lot of improvements to animation in general, for both first person and third person (other players) animations. We’ve made more movement and weapon balance tweaks, and modified Duel game rules based on competitive community feedback. We’ve been working on refining the match start process, including streamlining warm up and the rules for when the match begins. Check out the new update video for more details on gameplay changes.
\n
\nThe Grenade Launcher is now close to visually final, although the effects are still placeholder. The primary fire mode launches bouncy grenades that explode on contact or after a short delay. The secondary fire mode fires sticky grenades that explode when secondary fire is pressed again. The Grenade Launcher's primary role is a choke point control and suppression tool. Its timed detonation ability also lends itself well to boosting and traversal. In the hands of a skilled user, the GL is also an effective close range and prediction weapon.

\n
\nThe new Blitz game mode combines elements of the classic Capture the Flag and Assault game modes in an intense new round-based mode. Check out Fort, one of the Blitz levels, which is in the midst of its transformation from a gameplay shell to a fully meshed level. We’ve continued to make improvements to the mode, with a focus on improving game state awareness of players through announcements, sounds, and improved HUD overlays. You can now also play Blitz with your friends in co-op against various skill levels of enemy bots.

\n
\nWeapon and first person movement animations are undergoing a substantial overhaul. Most of the weapons now have new positioning, new firing and idle animations, and new animations to support player movement feedback.
\n
\nWe removed the hard deceleration when landing from a dodge, and improved player animation which should help with tracking other players. We’ve also improved animation support for emotes and feigning death.

\n\n

\nWe’ve made a number of changes to the 1v1 Duel mode based on competitive community feedback. Overtime now lasts 2 minutes, rather than the match ending immediately on the next frag. There is no longer any spawn protection or powerups in Duel, and weapons now respawn 20 seconds after being picked up.
\n
\nHub matches now have host controlled match start enabled by default. With host controlled start enabled, the player who started the match has control of when the match will start. That player can end warm up and start the match at any time, regardless of how many other players have joined. Also, the map vote selection interface is now used after standalone matches as well to make it easy to choose your next map. You can check HERE for a detailed change list.

Be sure to give it a try and give us your feedback on this exciting game mode.
\n
\nOne of the first levels we'll have available for Blitz is "Fort". I recently asked Epic Games Concept Artist, Adam Wood, about his concepts for the map. When I asked him about the concept process for Fort, he answered, "A lot of concepts were made to explore how the level art could enhance the new game mode Blitz." Adam explained, "There are some key differences between meshing normal Deathmatch and Blitz levels. Putting emphasis on call-out locations and directing players through the map in a more linear progression required a lot of iterating.Deathmatch is often a very circular flow, so this was very different. "
\n
\nThere were a few issues along the way because of these differences. Adam spent time solving a problem the team kept running into; realistic looking environments tend to blend everything together. Adam said, "It looks great, but it can cause bad depth and readability issues. I explored ways to separate silhouettes from the background. The best broad solution we found was to apply a gradient to the material in certain areas., At different heights the shapes will pop, but it doesn’t work in all cases."
\n
\nAdam did a quick test to see if this idea could work:
\n
\n $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Fthe-making-of-fort-part-1%2FFort_Contrast-1000x1292-febfddc2433cf34337793e8df7d5031c8cf4daee\"$
\n
\n"It is our hope that you can pick out the silhouettes of the structures easier and understand the depth of the scene a bit better. I think being able to understand your environment is crucial when playing a fast game like UT."
\n
\nThen the gradients were introduced. Adam noted, "The introduction of the gradients raised a few questions for us since we have a realistic style with PBR (Physically-based rendering) and can’t just throw crazy colors on the walls without it looking out of place. The answers kept leading towards an alien look, so it seemed like a good opportunity to add some Unreal flavor with ancient alien tech/architecture and to possibly reference existing races from the UT universe. $\"wink\"$ "\n

\n
\nThe map is currently in production and and you can see the work in progress in the current Unreal Tournament build. It is far from complete, but the direction is clear thanks to the concepts from Adam. "We ended up going with this monolithic theme, which seems to fit well in our style of game. Big simple blocky shapes with interesting surface detail that can be used in multiple biomes like jungle, snow, desert, etc. We are still in the process of meshing the map, so I’m excited to see how it turns out!"
\n
\nThe team is very excited for everyone to play the completed level in Blitz! Be sure to watch next week for more on Blitz and "Fort" from Sr. Designer Stuart Fitzsimmons.
\n
\nIf you want to give Blitz a try, it is available as a Quickmatch option, on hubs, or offline against bots. If you have any questions about Fort or Blitz, head over to the forum discussion found HERE.

\n\n

The Lightning Rifle prototype is a long range hitscan weapon with clearly defined advantages and disadvantages; a sniper weapon feared when used at long range but limited at closer range. It has two very different fire modes depending on whether the weapon is zoomed in.

\n\n

When the weapon is zoomed in it will automatically begin to charge as shown by a meter in the scope. If the weapon is fired before it is fully charged, it releases a low powered beam of lightning at the target which can be fired at a fairly quick rate. However if the player allows the weapon to fully charge before firing, it will release a large beam of lightning which does a significant amount of damage to the first target it hits and then chains to cause some damage any nearby targets in line of sight of the hit target.

\n\n

When fired from the hip, the rifle will shoot a high speed but low rate of fire projectile which sticks to an enemy and electrocutes them for three ticks of damage over a second. This allows the player make interesting skill shots at medium to close range and defend himself. The Lightning Rifle is currently only available for play using the Weapon Replacement mutator.

We’ve continued to make progress on our Grenade Launcher prototype. The primary fire mode shoots out bouncy grenades that explode on contact or after a short delay.

The new Unreal Tournament update, released today, features many improvements to the new Flag Run game mode. We’ve also made significant changes to player movement and weapons, including updates to the Lightning Rifle, Rocket Launcher, and other weapons. We’ve also been working on refining the match start process, including adding an improved interactive scoreboard that appears when you first enter the game, or during gameplay when you tap the escape key. Check out the new update video for more details on gameplay changes.

\n\n

Unreal Tournament now uses your Epic username for in game identification. We have implemented a clan tag system that will allow you to add your clan tag or other personalization before your username. Your name will then appear with your clan tag in brackets followed by your username.

\n\n

We’d love to get feedback on our new Flag Run game mode, which combines elements of the classic Capture the Flag and Assault game modes in an intense new round-based mode. It is still a work in progress and all of the playable levels are currently low poly shells. We are excited about its potential and ready to hear your comments and suggestions. Flag Run is available as a Quickmatch option, on hubs, or even offline against bots.

\n\n

We’ve also added a training video and tutorial to help get you up to speed quickly. You can give us feedback on the forums, in the Unreal Tournament subreddit, Discord or in the comments below. We’d love to hear from you. You can leave your comment below or on Facebook, Reddit, @UTGame on twitter, in the YouTube comments or come and chat with us on our Discord channel.

\n\n

To improve the smoothness of movement in team games where you are often in close proximity to teammates, players no longer collide with teammates unless both are trying to stop in the same location. We’ve also removed the “sprint” mechanic in this build.

\n\n

This update includes a number of weapon functionality improvements and balance tweaks. The Lightning Rifle prototype has continued to undergo functionality and balance iteration, and has now replaced the sniper rifle on our Flag Run maps. The Rocket Launcher alternate fire mode now fires multiple rockets in a spread pattern, and rocket seeking is now both easier to engage, and easier for an alert target to avoid. The Link Gun, Grenade Launcher, Sniper Rifle, Flak Cannon, and Enforcer have also seen functionality and balance changes, detailed in the full change list. We’ve also added a ring effect to the shock ball to make it easier to track and place, so you can nail those combos at just the right spot.

\n\n

The HUD now supports a horizontal weapon bar option, in addition to the vertical weapon bar. The new armor/health widget does not include a paper doll, which is obsolete with the introduction of the new armor system. HUD scaling and opacity settings have been adjusted, and new more visible versions of the crosshairs are now standard. Chat message formatting and display has been improved, and we now show an “in combat” icon over the beacons of teammates actively fighting.

With the new armor system, the small armor replaces the thigh pads and gives 50 armor. The medium armor replaces the vest and gives 100 armor. The shield belt still provides 150 armor. Regular armor pickups stack up to a maximum of 100 armor. Armor has 100% absorption from 150 to 100 armor and 50% absorption below 100 armor. Damage impacts on players with any amount of armor will produce a special armor hit effect. In addition, players with over 100 armor will glow with a bright shield belt effect. Players with 51 to 100 armor will have a less bright armor overlay. Last but not least, players now start with 25 armor.

\n\n

Many weapons were adjusted for this build. We’ll provide an overview here, and you can drill down for more details in the release notes on the Unreal Tournament wiki.

\n\n

\n\n

Flak Cannon damage per shard was reduced, and shard damage was further reduced after bounces.

\n\n

\n\n

Rocket Launcher grenades were made more predictable and easier to use, but with a shorter fuse time. Also, the Rocket Launcher alt-fire load up can be held for all 3 barrels even if you run out of ammo while loading.

\n\n

$\"https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/UnrealTournament/blog/new-ut-build-now-available/Beauty_Shock-1065x563-e574f60abce77fa8c26190d088c3d61daa3469e0.jpg\"$

\n\n

Shock Rifle primary fire damage was increased, and minimum combo damage was increased.

\n\n

The Stinger Minigun alt fire has been revamped. It now has a much faster firing rate, shooting faster smaller shards that don’t last as long, do less damage, and add no momentum impulse.

\n\n

$\"https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/UnrealTournament/blog/new-ut-build-now-available/Beauty_Link-1065x563-ff7b617e5d87f578a5661c44fea903eb5abf1705.jpg\"$

\n\n

The Link Gun primary fire now overheats after shooting a long burst, resulting in a very slow firing rate until it is allowed to cool down. The Link projectile now starts with smaller collision and grows quickly after spawning, so primary fire is less effective at close range.

\n\n

The alt-fire blob web functionality was temporarily removed from the Bio Launcher until it can be improved.

\n\n

The Redeemer missile takes a little more damage to shoot down, and plays a hit sound for the driver and the shooter when it takes damage. A shot down Redeemer missile now plays an alarm sound when shot down, and the time to explode after being shot down was reduced. In addition, the missile is outlined through walls for both teams when it has been shot down but has not yet detonated.

\n\n

\n\n

Ready players can now enter warm up mode before a multiplayer match starts. If there are players warming up, the server will wait longer to start the match if the game isn’t full.

\n\n

\n\n

The new Weapon Settings menu makes it much easier to group and configure your weapons.

\n\n

This update also includes player movement tweaks, a profile and key bindings system refactor that addresses many issues, and many other game enhancements, bug fixes and updates. You can read about all of the changes on the Unreal Tournament wiki.

So much work was put into the making of the maps and we had a hard time deciding on the winnners. Luckily, we had the help of the folks at Mapcore to give us a hand. Phase one had 74 submissions and we were overwhelmed with the quality of work and the level of expertise the level designers showed in their offerings. With such small teams, getting through all of the maps was quite a challenge! After it was all over, the playing field had decreased to 28 submissions for phase two.

\n\n

We want to thank everyone who entered a map in the contest and we're hoping to see some of these levels completed and in the game sometime in the future.

\n\n

Sprony from Mapcore will be contacting the winners to get their information so they can receive their prizes. Congratulations to not only the winners, but to everyone who entered. Your work is amazing and we can't wait to see more. We'll be in touch with all of the winners to discuss the possibility of their levels getting into the marketplace or game!

\n\n

We would like to thank all of the entrants for their hard work, the Unreal Tournament community for their assistance, the UT QA team and most of all Sprony, the fine folks at Mapcore and Chris Kay from Epic Games for making the contest a reality!

\n\n

We’ve been working on ranked matchmaking for the last couple of months. For this release we'll be periodically holding several matchmaking tests. To make sure we have enough players in queue for matchmaking to work successfully, we'll be enabling it during peak times to keep your queue times low.

\n\n

$\"https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/UnrealTournament/blog/ut-update-titan-pass-visuals-matchmaking-and-more/matchmaking_1514x909_1468416464231-1514x909-20ef7813e779849b2787d85813f88582f8926431.png\"$

\n\n

We’ve begun work on improving the Unreal Tournament soundscape. This is still a work in progress, with new sounds, sound balancing, and a new custom client-side sound amplification system in development. This new system provides per client custom amplification, occlusion, and low pass filtering of different types of sounds based on if player is the instigator, target, or teammate of the instigator of the sound. The goal is to emphasize the sounds which are most important to you for gameplay.

\n\n

There has also been continued iteration on player movement, including adjustments to slide functionality and character acceleration. We’ve made functionality and balance tweaks to several weapons, including the Redeemer, the Flak Cannon, the Rocket Launcher, and the Impact Hammer. Shot down Redeemers now fall out of the sky with a delayed explosion so defenders have a chance to run. The Impact Hammer alt-fire shield now slows projectiles instead of destroying them.

\n\n

This update also includes Bot AI improvements and many other game enhancements, bug fixes and updates. You can read about all of the changes on the Unreal Tournament wiki.

This is part four in our ChaosUT interview series. There is a version of Chaos available for almost every game in the UT series; ChaosUT for the original UT, ChaosUT2 for UT2003 and ChaosUT2:Evolution for UT2004. You can grab any or all of them over at the team's website, Chaotic Dreams.

If you'd like to give them some feedback or just chat about the mod, you can head over to the Chaotic Dreams forum or jump in THIS thread on the UT forums.

"Chaos doesn't have any real sense behind its construction. In principle it's only a bunch of weird and cool things tied together; …simply “chaotic”. However, you will always find a way, or a weapon, which will exploit the weak spot of your enemies." RFlagg

\n\n

Team members have come and gone, but some constants have remained, like Project Manager R.Flagg. He has put a lot of love, time and energy into the project over the years, "just for the fun of it".

\n\n

Stacey Conley: How is development going?

\n\n

Mark (R.Flagg) Myers: Amazing! Sure, it takes a lot of time with a small team who do this part-time, but these guys are just knocking it out of the park.

\n\n

SC: How far along has development progressed?

\n\n

$\"https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/UnrealTournament/jun_2016/jun30_2016/zen-640x620-5bbf5ab508fd8780b294dbaa125cb30281187d6a.jpg\"$ MM: When you consider that we still haven't added any weapons yet, I guess you could say we have a very long way to go. But we don't plan on waiting until the entire mod is finished before releasing our 1st version to the public.

\n\n

SC: What is your role on the Chaos team?

\n\n

MM: Design/Test/Manage

\n\n

SC: What do you do when you're not working on Chaos?

\n\n

MM: Think about Chaos.

\n\n

SC: What is your favorite Chaos memory?

\n\n

MM: I've been around it so long, that there's really too many to pick just one. But one of them would have to be way back in the Quake2 Chaos days, when Trixie invited me to join the MOO Clan, which was one of the most popular and respected clans playing Chaos at the time. It felt like a real honor.

\n\n

\n\n

MM: Absolutely none, nor have I ever wanted to. I am solely devoted to Chaos.

\n\n

SC: What are you most looking forward to in Chaos?

\n\n

MM: That's easy. The first public release of Chaos for UT4. Not reaching a public release for UT3 was such a huge disappointment, and the break-up of the old team that followed, really was depressing for me. To see it come back to life, and (potentially) succeed once again - it's hard to describe how exciting that would be for me.

\n\n

RFlagg reminded us the the Chaos team is still recruiting! If you think you have what it takes be sure to go post in the Chaos thread on the Unreal Tournament forums!

\n\tThe UT99 version of the mod was an awakening for me. It helped put me on the path to designing art for games. Up until discovering the GOTY edition of UT99 with that second disc full of mods, I'd always looked at game design as some fairy tale world out of reach of the mere mortals.\n

\n\n

\n\tStacey Conley: How is development going?\n

\n\n

\n\t\n\t $\"https://cdn2.unrealengine.com/UnrealTournamentBlog/jun_2016/june6_2016/mikechaos4-872x1080-1402344083.jpg\"$ Mike McCormick: Development is going great! We recently added Metalfist and Rockdude86 to our roster which is awesome. Metal has been doing some really nice special effects and Rockdude is cranking out a map that really accentuates the unique nature of Chaos both in style and gameplay. I also have a map in the works. So yeah, lots of stuff going on. We've really ironed out a big chunk of what we need to do, now its just a matter of making it happen. That's easier said than done for sure, but I couldn't ask for a better team. In other words, we're getting things done.\n

\n\n

\n\tSC: How far along is the mod?\n

\n\n

\n\tMM: Chaos is a hard mod to "measure" as the scope of the mod is such that it could expand exponentially as we recruit more talent. In terms of where we are in an official sense, we just hit Internal release 17. IR17 contains most of the features we want to have for our first public alpha. That first public release will be a huge milestone so we are working hard to polish up our current feature list, which stands at eight relics and the grappling hook as well as a repulse attack for fending off close ranged attackers. There is a lot going on under the hood here and Warhead has been doing a phenomenal job coding all of our crazy ideas.\n

\n\n

\n\tSC: What is your role on the Chaos team?\n

\n\n

\n\tMM: I make art. The majority of our art thus far has had my stamp on it in some way. Most recently I've improved on our Relic design based on a shift in our art direction. I've begun prototyping the animations for the Chaos Bastard Sword. I've also redesigned the Proxy Mine and we've recently settled on the final design. There is a new version of the ERDW that I've started as well. The ERDW is a high energy rail-gun capable of penetrating walls. It was featured in the Unreal Tournament 2004 version of Chaos and I've been updating the design while hopefully staying true to the weapon's roots. Another cool concept Metalfist suggested, was giving our vampire power up a set of wings to glide around the map, so I built and animated those and we should be seeing them added soon.\n

\n\n

\n\tSC: What do you do when you're not working on Chaos\n

\n\n

\n\tMM: Work, other video games and spending time with my girlfriend.\n

\n\n

\n\tSC: What tools do you use to create your contributions?\n

\n\n

\n\tMM: Blender, Photoshop, Substance Designer, Substance Painter, and Agisoft Photoscan.\n

\n\n

\n\tSC: What is your favorite Chaos memory?\n

\n\n

\n\tMM: The UT99 version of the mod was an awakening for me. It helped put me on the path to designing art for games. Up until discovering the GOTY edition of UT99 with that second disc full of mods, I'd always looked at game design as some fairy tale world out of reach of the mere mortals. The quality of the Chaos mod even back then, was on par with much of what was in the stock UT. I thought for a while that it was made by Epic Games as bonus content! The Proxy mines are still in my opinion one of the best weapons in any game. Of course my favorite memories haven't happened yet. Every single time I boot up a new version of Chaos and see our work come to life I know the best is yet to come.\n

\n\n

\n\tSC: What other mods have you worked on? (any engine or game)\n

\n\n

\n\tMM: Mostly I've done personal work. I did have a short stint with a Perfect Dark mod for UT99 way back in 2000. I'm also working on the Impact Hammer concept posted by Eightball in the UT weapon forum: https://www.epicgames.com/unrealtournament/forums/showthread.php?23868-Impact-Hammer and a variation of the Shock Rifle that I'd still like to get in game: https://www.epicgames.com/unrealtournament/forums/showthread.php?8510-Shock-Rifle-Sketch \n

\n\n

\n\tI also have some helmets in the works:\n

\n\n

\n\tSC: What are you most looking forward to in Chaos?\n

\n\n

\n\tMM: Getting it into the hands of players! Every week it seems someone posts about their fond memories of the mod, so I know I've got a responsibility to live up to those expectations. As far as for myself, I really can't wait to get the Proxy Mines into the game.\n

\n\n

\n\tToday we released a fully meshed Deathmatch level called Underland with the new Unreal Tournament build. This level is designed for 6 to 8 players who fight across a hidden outpost, once lost for a thousand years, that guards the entrance to the massive Underland caverns.\n

\n\n

\n\tWe asked the community to help rename the prototype level "Tuba" and we'd like to thank forum member Archer6621 for proposing the name Underland. We'll be sending him an Unreal Tournament Swag Bag filled with Epic merchandise for his suggestion!\n

\n\n

\n\tTo get an idea of the difference between the prototype shell and the final meshed level, check out the before and after screenshots! For hi-res images of the level, visit our Flickr page.\n

\n\n

\n\tAlso in the new build there are 8 new Blue Star offline challenges, four in Underland and four in Chill, our two most recently completed levels.\n

This release has significant performance improvements for low end systems, with simple forward shading support and reflection environment optimizations. We've also added voice chat support with dedicated voice servers. This version also includes a new Bio Rifle mesh, support for unique per character first person arms, improvements to Blitz, and continued refinement of first person animations.
\n \n

\nThe new Bio Rifle mesh was created by long time community contributor Kazeohin, who also made the Flak Cannon for the new Unreal Tournament.
\n
\n $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Frelease-notes-may-16-copy%2FBiovanity_01-1920x1080-0517ea2834000c7eb35d77fa28017705fa2d0e1c\"$
\n
\nWe’ve fixed issues with various weapons, including the Lightning Rifle, Grenade Launcher, and Rocket Launcher. The Redeemer has had balance adjustments, with the collision free explosion radius reduced. We’ve also updated the particle effects for the Lightning Rifle and Grenade Launcher.
\n
\n $\"UnrealTournament%2Fblog%2Frelease-notes-may-16-copy%2FLR_Shot_07-1920x1080-660208b493679d203bbfd81f5077091cc7ec25b2\"$
\n
\nThe new Blitz game mode combines elements of the classic Capture the Flag and Assault game modes in an intense new round-based mode. Check out Fort, one of the Blitz levels, which is in the midst of its transformation from a gameplay shell to a fully meshed level. We’ve continued to make improvements to the mode, increasing the initial flag pick up delay and adding ramp up music to help players with the timing of the start of action. Rally Points are now powered for twenty seconds at a time, up from ten. Rallying is now easier to understand, as the camera now shows you preparing to rally while you are still vulnerable at the start of your rally, followed by a zoom into the Rally Point.
\n
\nUnreal Tournament now has voice chat support integrated and enabled by default. You can choose between Push to Talk and Open Mic in the Audio Settings menu, as well as selecting the input device. You can mute players individually using the interactive scoreboard, and you can also limit voice interactions using the communications filter in the System Settings menu General tab.
\n
\nEach character now has their own first person arms, visible holding your weapons. The first person movement animations have also been improved and refined.

Build a Bridge

\n\n

There’s a purple Damage Amp power-up sitting on an unreachable island in the LevelTutorialMap, and you will build a bridge and path so that the player can reach it.

\n\n

In this step, you use geometry tools to place an additive BSP cube to make the bridge spanning the gap. Then you will use a subtractive BSP cube to cut a path for the player.

\nTo learn more about translating, rotating, and scaling...\n\n

\n\n

Video 3: Adding geometry to create a bridge.

\n\n

Navigate the view to the missing bridge. It is marked by hazard stripes.
Under the Place mode tab (upper left corner) select the BSP subtab
Drag a Box from the BSP subtab onto one of the hazard stripes. This creates an additive BSP Brush, which adds geometry to the world.
The next step is to move the box (BSP Brush) into position to start bridging the gap. You do this by pressing W to switch to the translation gizmo; drag the arrows on the cube to move it around in your map until it is lined up against the hazard stripes.
As the BSP Brush (box) is not wide enough, you’ll need to stretch it to create a wider box. Switch into Geometry Editing Mode by selecting the trimmed box icon from the Modes window or by pressing SHIFT + 5. You will notice the Modes panel change when you are in Geometry editing mode. Selected BSP shapes are blue when their geometry is being edited.
In Geometry Editing Mode, selecting a BSP surface highlights the surface in orange. The transform gizmo will appear in the center of the selected (orange) surface. Left clicking and dragging a specific axis (it turns yellow), allows you to resize the cube surface larger or smaller along that axis.
Reshape the cube until it makes for an appropriate bridge.
Notice that the BSP box is a transparent blue. To commit the changes you have made, find the Build → Build Geometry (Current Level) on the toolbar. The default shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+B. Note: the build process may report errors that are not serious.

\n\n

You should now see a solid bridge where there was once a gap between hazard stripes.

\n\n

Fixing Mistakes

\n\n

In the creative modding process, you will want to delete and correct ideas that didn't work. Quick ways to fix mistakes include:

\n\n

UNDO by pressing CTRL+Z. UNDO can require a Build Geometry (shortcut: CRTL+SHT+B) instruction to update the level and see the action has been reversed.
DELETE by selecting a BSP Brush and hitting delete will delete the BSP Brush. To see the object removed requires you to Build Geometry afterwards to update the level.
To completely start over, simply reload the tutorial map and begin anew.

\n"},{"_type":"Tutorial Steps","content":"

Subtract a Tunnel

\n\n

Our bridge leads to tower wall. We can create a tunnel through the tower by subtracting a BSP shape from it. This is a powerful technique for iterating on a map's gameplay; a level designer can move an entire corridor by adjusting the position of a subtractive brush.

\n\n

Video 4 : Subtracting a tunnel through the tower:

\n\n

Begin by placing another box. Select Place from the tool mode panel, and switch to the BSP sub tab.
Drag and drop a BSP box primitive from the Browser into the map viewport to add it to your world.\n\t
- Drag the arrows on the cube to move it around in your map until it is lined up against the wall near the \"hazard\" stripes.
- Note: you can click on the cube to re-select it if you want to adjust its placement later.
\n\t
Switch to Geometry Editing, and use the method outlined earlier to reshape your box brush until it is large enough to cut a hole in the tower and open the path to the powerup.
In the Details panel for your BSP box, search for the dropdown next to Brush Type, and switch it from Additive (blue) to Subtractive (red). Instead of adding geometry, this BSP box will now cut holes in existing geometry.
Use Build→Build Geometry (Current Level) or press Ctrl+Shift+B to enact your BSP changes.
