**SPECIAL NOTE:**

I made this map because I love it's simplicity, and for me, it certainly holds a nostalgic place in my heart, all the way back from Unreal Tournament 99. This map was a lot of fun to make. It's meant for the nostalgic UT99 gamer who remember it, and includes identitical scaling, the exact same textures and near-identitical texture placement. It's a hand-made port. I did not port the BSP, but instead, actually hand remade it. It's a lot better that way. This is a quality port, I think. Enjoy!

This map was not made using the original version of CTF-ThornsV2 from UT99. Due to editor problems, I was unable to use that version. Instead, I used a direct port that was made for UT2004. The following map/author is credited, for I used it as reference because of it's likeness to the original.

Measurements and textures were referenced and borrowed from that map, just like the author referenced the original ThornsV2.

Due to the likeness of the above map to the original ThornsV2 for UT99, I will provide the information for that map as well. The following information is provided from the original ReadMe I found in the UT99 version of ThornsV2. It was dated 09/2000 so the website/contact may not be accurate anymore.

The textures are from Unreal Tournament 99, and the credit for those textures go off to Epic Games.
