I don't play ONS, sry, but I can give you the best maps for DM/TDM, and that is DM-Rankin, DM-Antalus, DM-Campgrounds-LE and DM-Compressed :>

I think he means custom maps.
Well, Community Bonus Pack 2 (CBP2- CBP1 was for UT2003 and apparently will be re-released for UT2004 sometime in the future) has some decent maps in it, including some decent Onslaught maps. Other than that I very rarely find custom maps I like, and like BurgerBeast I don't even like Onslaught so I can't really recommend anything else to you.

of course he does, but I don't play custom maps so that's all I can contribute with :P

Ok, now I am really pissed. I just spent a whole hour writing a 4 page post about all of the best custom ONS maps with screenshots and download links for all of them. I posted over 25 maps and links to the CBP2 along with the XP levels, and then when I tried to post it wouldn't let me do it and I lost everything!!!!!! Here are some of the links I posted the first time, but I'm not going to explain all of this crap again.

ONS - Ranger SE - MSU - http://nalicity.beyondunreal.com/map_hub.php?mid=7568
ONS - Grit SE - http://ut.filefront.com/file/ONSGrit_SE;28244
ONS - Apocalypse - http://www.levels4you.com/review.l4y?file=9601
ONS - Aliens (yes, based on the movie) - http://www.mapraider.com/maps/?fileid=2113
ONS - Nevermore SE - http://nalicity.beyondunreal.com/map_hub.php?mid=7311
ONS - Tropic (No Screenshot at the link I provided, so here is one for you...)
http://download.beyondunreal.com/fil...ons-tropic.zip
ONS - Kakmo (UPC) - http://www.mapraider.com/maps/?fileid=2221
ONS - Spiffingrad - http://www.levels4you.com/review.l4y?file=8203
ONS - Junglehill2 - http://www.fasterfiles.com/pafiledb....on=file&id=955
ONS - Icarus - http://nalicity.beyondunreal.com/map_hub.php?mid=6903

Ok, make sure you download ONS - Aridoom and ONS - Ascenancy. These two maps are the "XP Exclusive" levels for UT2004. Can find them here: http://www.games-fusion.net/filedb/p...on=file&id=851 (Scroll down for D/L link)

And this is the most important - Make sure you download both parts of the CBP2 (the community bonus pack) because it has the most visually stunning collection of maps/skins/mutators that exist as custom content for UT goes. They are professional quality and are worth every second of the Download. Here is a link to a bunch of pics and the Download spot: http://www.planetunreal.com/cbp/maps.htm

Sorry I couldn't post more information about these maps. I spent an hour trying to explain to you the benefits and disadvantages of each, and these are only some of the ones I posted. I'll update you when I've got some time but this should quench your map thirst for an hour or two...

Oh yeah, and this map is AWESOME. It is huge. It is the most epic map I have ever seen for ONS. Forget one theme, this map has like 6 distinctly different environments...

It's twice as big as ONS - Dria and really packs a punch. Best with 32 players

Hey, I'm REALLY sorry for the Triple Reply. I don't want to get banned but It seems like I'm the only one providing links, and since it is helpful for everyone, I'm going to do it anyway


I can't believe I forgot about this map in my first post. It definately was in there the first time I typed it out. Here is ONS - ToonCountry, a cell shaded ONS map that uses the same graphic style as the Gamecube Game Zelda: The Windwaker. It is beautiful, just take a look at the screenies and see for yourself! I heard the author is working on a new ONS map in the same style but at nighttime with a much more fun skybox :P

Don't worry about the multi-posting man, they're all useful posts and there's a good reason for them being staggered. Thanks for helping out.
