This is the first official Bonus pack. It consists of three maps: DM-Morbias, CTF-FacingWorlds, CTF-SearchLight.

CTF-FacingWorlds: The Necris have forced their way into even the most revered of Izanagi landmarks. Their corruption has spread to the Temple of Facing Worlds, and one of its towers is already showing the effects of infection and decay.

CTF-Searchlight: The lighthouse serves as a beacon to this remote island, thought to be the ancient home of the Necris Prophet. The spiritual components of the Necris conversion are greatly misunderstood, and their power is vastly underestimated. Those who are willing to face the impact of their conversion often come to religious centers like this one to meditate.

DM-Morbias: The Morbias Station is a transport hub that focuses all traffic passing through Taryd's jumpgates. The Station offers a terrestrial shuttle, storage facilities (with quarantine services for live cargo), and a social center where guests can meet incoming visitors or hold private meetings in a neutral setting.


I played all of them and they are really good. Morbias owns as usual.

A bland map pack basically done to satisfy the categories of players that got disappointed by the retail UT3 maps, namely spammers (Morbias) and campers (Face, SearchLight). SearchLight is actually a decent map and is worth the 160 MB download, the other 2 are the usual crap.

That's your opinion.

The pack is full of bugs. Is horrible how every map from Epic appears to be so weak.

CTF-FacingWorlds - What can I say about this. If it ain't broke then don't fix it! They changed the setting and the flow of the place. It feels broke and just "wrong".

CTF-Searchlight - The only original level that isn't a bad remake from a venerable classic. Looks alright and plays alright. Not much of a UT3 CTF player so I can't really comment on gameplay...

DM-Morbias - If you're expecting this to be anything like the U/UT incarnations then be prepared for a suprise. It's bigger for one and all the UT3 detailfication totally destroys the aesthetics of the level. UT3 gameplay doesn't help the situation either. Only good thing about this place was the voice of the Vortex Rikers' computer being played out.

Yeah, they were pretty sloppy with the release. No map info/screenshot for the menus. Readme typos and plenty of (not officialy revealed) bugs and glitches. Interesting how everyone on the Epic forums is lapping it while on BU it's being scorched to the bone.

So what would everyone here rate it as? For me 5/10. Only Searchlight saves the whole bonus pack from being a complete and utter joke.

DM-FST-Morbias is just better than the BP one and more entertaining than every other crappy retail map, as said by the entire UT3 population.
The BP1 one has a stupid bug in which you can walk in the air.

As for FacingWorlds, at least there's a Helm and the whole map isn't set in an annoying asteroid. Is a sniper paradise because Epic now makes campers stronger in UT3: don't move and the enemy's head box becomes twice as bigger! :o
Stupid.
Oh, Foregone...

Searchlight is horrible, there's a black hole over one of the rooftops and the Shock Rifle is God's death weapon against those who are stuck in an atrocious dead-end. Not to mention Invisibility. Lame.

Hopefully CBP3 will have more, good maps, even more polished than this goddamn game. I miss the ol' UT2k4 days with maps like Pistola, Orbital, BridgeOfFate, etc...

Final Comment: save your 160 MB for CBP3.
