You'll need my special scorpions installed to play it (they are already on the SV server so just grab em out of your cache), all the other modded stuff is embedded. I really do dislike adara so I have been trying to do something interesting with it, without much success. But maybe its my hatred of mantas as I sort of made a "manta-me-up" map out of it. Here you'll find Mantas and my super Mantas (Wyverns). The Wyverns are quick, agile, and can really jump high so are good for getting up and down in that canyon. Ahh yeah. The Falcon is also here so take a look see.

Hmm. Well, with Scorpion Canyon, TankMeUp, and AirMars, it was about time the Mantas got a map. What's next? Leviathans? SPMA? That actually might be kinda cool...

Every map is a Manta map. Heh.

Yeah. And I HATE the damn thing! So in making a version based around the manta, it becomes a little more balanced as there are now 2 different types of mantas available here. Also, the scorpius should go some way towards keeping them under control. Anyone tried this one out?

Yeah, I hate the Manta too. One of the ideas I'm mulling over is reducing the splash on their projectiles and giving their projectiles some Raptor-missle-like tracking of other Mantas. On the downside, this makes Mantas more effective (at countering other Mantas). On the good side, it slightly reduces effectiveness against infantry and in general (since there are more Manta counters). Overall I think it's a net positive.

Altered it again. Removed the falcons and put some more wyverns in. Also added some countermeasures to the manta. Check the "minigun" in the core lockers.

It aint busted, its been removed. Past G3 and G4 now. I think I got what I was aiming for with it. You'll be getting this with a bunch of maps soon (maybe even by the end of next week, as they are mostly done), all re-worked stock maps. Trying to make them work with higher player counts and contain as much Unreal violence and mayhelp as possible.

I HATE slow maps. :cussing: They should all have pace. Just working on a new vehicle for 2 of the maps and we are away!

Fantastico!! Oh Manipulator of Mantas....Scorge of Scorpions!!
We're not worthy!! :notworthy:

Oh wait...yeah maybe we are...we're Spam Vikings after all!

Sure glad you can bend your brain cells around these maps and give us all a great chunk more o'fun!
