Title : Turfwars on 13th Street Filename : Turfwarz.map Author : Team M:Impossible (Blackjack, Maarten, Chris Alcock) E-mail : blackjack666@hotmail.com mfpinxton@hotmail.com chris.allcock@btinternet.com Web Page : 2maarten.com Misc. Author Info : Team M:Impossible is or was a shakey alliance between three of the greatest map builders of all time whose goal was to pull together in their finest hour to construct this insanely good DM level as part of JS`s Community Build Project. Nice. Other Levels : This is the first (and most likely only) level from M:Impossible Description : Turfwarz takes place a deserted, anonymous street in downtown LA. This scrap of urban decay is the battleground of two rival gangs, the Red Wings (who control the local subway station) and the Blue Cowboys (who operate a breakers yard). Naturally their respective bases are mere fronts for the illecit activity which goes on in them, but now both gangs have decided that they want more. After holding a council in a nearby hotel, the gangs have declared war on each other. Each of the sides now engages in a battle for supremacy on the mean streets - fighting first for the control of nearby establishments, followed up by an all out attack on the rival gang`s base. Do you have what it takes to survive?

The level has three basic locations - The Red Wing`s base which is the subway at the Southern end of the street; the Blue Cowboy`s base which is in the garage at the North End. Finally there is the street itself, which has a bookstore, pawnshop and pharmacy on it among other things. In addition there is a respawn area which is a hotel room, and has instant access to both bases. Both bases have an armoury and a control centre - which allows doors to be locked, lights to be turned on and also a security camera network. It is also the location of the team`s safe. The Pawnshop contains a shotgun and an RPG. However, the RPG can only be accessed from somewhere in the bookstore. You`ll also have to work out how to get into the bookstore first. The Pharmacy contains enough health for almost a full boost, and also a drinking fountain. However, there is also a special "panic" button which brings down protective barriers over the door and window if a player wishes to slowly heal himself with the fountain. The downside is of course that he is effectively out of play. Rules : Turfwarz has a number of rules which MUST be obeyed! 1 - Before the game starts choose who is going to be on each side (gang) - and make a note of all the gang members colours. This is best done in the respawning room. It is best to pick sides and then line up so everyone can see who is on each side. Use the talk feature to make sure everyone understands. Then both teams deploy in their bases. They have one minute with which to prepare, after which player one gives the command for the game to start. 2 - Once the game is underway players are pretty much free to do as they wish, whether it be kill the enemy or capture their stash. To capture their stash, a team must move into the other player`s control room and blow their safe up. Inside the safe is a switch to represent the stash, and when this is flicked signs go up in the street declaring the winning team. 3 - If players die they appear back in the respawn room, and to get back into the game they must use the switch next to the door which leads to their base. It is absolutely NOT permissable to touch the switch belonging to the other team base, nor can you attack players in this room - it is effectivly a neutral space. For comfort while you wait for your mates you could take it easy with a beer and a magazine, watch some TV or listen to music. Tips : 1 - You`ll notice that there is a slight imbalance in the bases and weapons. The Red Wings have a base which is easy to defend, but their armoury contains mostly short range assault weapons - making them the ideal attacking force. The Blue Cowboys have a base which is a little harder to defend but they also have better long range weapons, so they are advised to defend their base before making a counter attack at the weakened Red Wings base. 2 - Fight to control the street before moving in on a base. This ensures that while you attack them they can`t be attacking you. 3 - Hide in shadows. There`s loads of them. You`ll also notice some excellent places for camping to guard entrances to the bases - be sure to exploit them. 4 - NEVER enter the enemy base without support. Cracking the code to the safe takes several seconds of focused aiming even if you get it right first time - far too easy for a rogue guard to pop in and frag you. Far better to have one or two team mates to cover door while the safecracker does his stuff. Some weapons are better than others for this task. Equally try and have at least on guard in or around the control room. 5 - Use cover at all times when in the street. And watch your back! Credits : Blackjack, the team leader of M:Impossible is responsible for the street battleground, as well as the initial ideas and the Turfwars game. He also co-ordinated (with mixed success) the development of the project. Which has taken around 6 months. Maarten Pinxton is responsible for Honest Hank`s Garage AND all the art. Maarten was at times the only one to hold this project together, and even I am amazed at the speed at which he can create quality level building. A top job from a top mapper. Chris Alcock had a late start in this project because C3P0 was orginally the third team member but nothing really got done. As a result the team came to a mutual descision to drop C3P0 and get another mapper on board. Chris fitted the bill and within a few short weeks (in between getting massively drunk at Christmas) created the Subway section. =============================================================================================== COPYRIGHT 2001 M:Impossible Productions.
