WAR-Araja][ is an award-winner Warfare map for Unreal Tournament 3. It is a remake of my UT2004 map ONS-Araja, an huge Onslaught map set on the surface of the Na Pali planet.

“When the first Skaarj mothership arrived on NaPali and spread death and terror on the surface of the planet, a lot of Nalis fled in the lost valleys of the Araja Mountains, searching for the power of the sacred crystals.
But mountain passes became dangerous, infested by strange and obscure creatures, and no one of those who left their houses ever came back. Now, only the wind that blows in these valleys still remembers the sound of their lost chants.”

With this map I wanted to create something different from the stock UT3 content while trying to stay true to the original gameplay/atmosphere as much as possible. To achieve this result I had to create a lot of custom 3D models and textures from scratch.

The map has won the third prize in the vCTF & WAR Map category of the Make Something Unreal Contest. The map also scored 88/100 @ UTUnlimited.
