Description             : In an unusual move, Liandri commissionned an elite team of engineers and architects to
                          design and build a Tournament arena optimized for Deathmatch games, instead of buying and
                          adapting yet another abandoned building or factory. DM-Ladders is the result of their
                          efforts, a sleek, fast and challenging arena where contestants are tested to the limit of
                          their abilities.

There are a few places in the map where the framerate takes a hit. The map is optimized as much as possible, but
the UT2004 engine does have limits. I did not want to compromize design just to gain a few fps in a limited number
of places. If necessary, you may set world detail to a lower setting to improve things.

Although the bots will give a good performance, I could not make them use the ladders. If anyone knows of a
solution for that problem, please send me an email. 


====================================================================================================================
Installation
====================================================================================================================

Put DM-Ladders2004.ut2 in your UT2004 'Maps' directory.
That's it, all the other custom stuff was put in the myLevel package. =8)

Comments
====================================================================================================================

Like many of my maps, DM-Ladders2004 started its existence as an old Unreal map and has gone through many
incarnations as the new games were released. I always liked this one for its fast pace, good z-axis action and
connectivity. In this version, I mostly tried to make it look as good as I can with the UT2004 engine. I think
I've succeeded, but you opinion may vary. Have fun =8)
