This level is neither made nor supported by 3DRealms Date started: 27th of March 2009 Date finished: 20th of April 2009 Date released: 21st of April 2009 (Happy 10th MSDN Anniversary!) !!THOSE CAUGHT PLAYING THE MAP WITH THE HIGH RESOLUTION PACK WILL BE SHAVED, STERILIZED AND DETSTROYED!! !!DUKEPLUS V1.99 (OR HIGHER) REQUIRED!! ====================================================================== Title : Dukecide Author : Mikko Sandt Web Page : http://msdn.planetduke.gamespy.com Duke Plus : http://deeperthought.dukertcm.com/dp/ Misc. Author Info : I'm 24 years old, I study economics and I live in Finland. Other Levels : Many. Check at least the MSSP Episode, The Brave New World and Earth Base. I have also built maps for several other games: MSUT1 for Unreal Tournament, MS-Tourney 1 and Lifeline for Quake3Arena, aim_mesayard for Counter-Strike and Distractions for Quake. Installation/running : This level requires Duke Plus, a free add-on. To play, run DukePlus and select this map from the usermap menu. Don't mess with DukePlus settings. DO NOT play the map with the HIGH RESOLUTION PACK! Plot : "In the grim darkness of the far future" Earth is being purged of what the Assault alien race have long called the "human disease". The final solution to the problem is nothing but a complete genocide of mankind. In this Darwinian struggle for survival the human being has lost. Earth is now a gigantic alien outpost and human concentration camp. Duke Nukem, an agent of the human resistance (operating from Cygnus space station and various other hidden locations across the galaxy) is sent to a facility that conducts experiments on humans (including agents of the resistance). Your mission is as follows: 1) Terminate industrial production 2) Liberate any prisoners you manage find 3) Destroy the facility 4) Escape Level Info : When I was a kid one of my favorite Duke3D usermaps was "Steel" by Matt Bollier. I even made a "sequel" (never released and doesn't exist anymore) to it called "Steel 2". MSDN, my Duke3D site, turns 10 on 21st of April 2009 and I always knew I'd come up with a new map to be released on that day. Another "Steel" remake had always been in my mind so I decided to go with the theme. Before I began working on the map I had another cool idea: A dark, grey world ("Steel" only used grey textures) of the future where mankind has been wiped out by the aliens. What I wanted to do was some kind of an alien industrial facility (hi-tech, not organic) where the remnants of mankind are used in various experiments (remember Quake 2?). I immediately thought of DukePlus, its Dukebot feature and its weather effect. (I'd be lying if I said the Daikatana ogg track that comes with the map didn't inspire me.) So, "Steel" + Quake 2 + DukePlus = Dukecide.
