OMC 3: The RA2 6th Place Is...
Six maps were scored above 75% in our RA2 section, which is clearly a record. I'm sure some RA2 judges were not very strict when they reviewed the maps. The example is this map that scored 94% with one of the judges. Such score should have been given for a map that is really a classic. Maybe this map isn't a classic, but certainly deserve our spotlight. If all top 5 maps really beat this one, I'll have a lot of fun in the next days.
Now you are curious to find out who is the 6th place, right? The answer is Nucl34ar14. He's been mapping on RADEN and CnC Depot for a while and he established his own home at C&C Nuked. He is working on a mod with the same name.
His map is Hot Battlezone. It's a 4 players symetric map. Each base has only one, however, big entrance and 2 oil derricks close to it. And there is also a secret lab in the center. The map is very detailed with several civilian buildings between the bases where players can garrison troops. Players have a lot of ore and gems close to their start point and with 8 oil derricks in the map, it's hard to run out of cash. I only think it's a pitty that he only planned a quarter of the map, but it's a pretty good map. Very good for a 6th place! Here's the details:
