VNTE-Con Thien

In Unreal
In the rain, mud, and artillery, the U.S Marines and PAVN forces fight over the northern most outpost in South Vietnam - Con Thien, "The Hill of Angels", in close quarter combat and head-on assaults. Under daily bombardment the U.S Marines fortified this low but strategic hill that overlooks the demilitarized zone in an attempt to frustrate PAVN infiltration efforts into South Vietnam.

This is a close quarter and medium range 64 player infantry combat map. PAVN Players have to assault the firebase through fields of barbed wire using smoke and tunnels to give them an advantage over defenders. Both sides fight through a series of above-ground objectives as they ascend to the top of the hill where they will go underground to fight close quarter over a command bunker as the final objective.

This is the first version I'm releasing to test out gameplay, some areas might lack cover and detail. I'm looking for feedback on:

- General flow of the level, how does it feel progressing to the last objective.
- Spawn positioning.
- Areas that need more cover.
- Ammo supply and radio positioning.
- Immersion of the map, do you find the terrain to fight over interesting, what are your favourite and least favourite parts of the map.
