UT (especially facing worlds and deck 16) is about flak cannons and shock combos with a fair bit of sniping on the side. I don't really see how taking those two maps is going to do anything positive for T:A. =/

The ability to import Unreal maps is a good perk in that it would allow us to get the "FOUNDATIONS" of maps (or at least the concepts) in to TA quickly. HOWEVER, the game mechanics of TA are VASTLY different than Unreal (or many other games for that matter). Our weapons have a different balance, and our character and environmental hit-point is quite a bit different. There are no head-shots in TA, and there are no single shot close-range weapons. Also, TA covers more distance with an emphasis on skiing to make up for the travel time (which is bogus that that is a packaged function, but oh well, we were all going to figure out how to do it anyway). I can not think of a single Unreal system map that would be a truly good fit in TA un-modified (in a BIG way) when taking in to account all of the nuances of the game. That's not to say that they aren't GREAT maps, they are just not suitable for this game without HEAVY modification. And even then... maybe. If you look at the idea in this post, however, maybe then you could port the map(s) and see what the masses think.
