FireStorm is an expansion mappack for Unreal, set in the style of Return To Napali.

The story will be a direct follow up of the final events of RTNP, and you find yourself yet again on the hunt by the Skaarj, aswell the UMS.

At the ending of RTNP the player finds as shuttlecraft with trans-light travel capabilities, and uses it as an opportunity to escape the planet.
In orbit the shuttlecraft encounters the UMS-Bodega Bay and a short skirmish follows, with the player ultimately victorious.
This seems to be the last thing that was holding the player from escaping this planet forever, however the shuttle was caught by surprise by another UMS ship that wasn’t identified before,
quickly outgunned you fall captive to the UMS yet again. and this is where your journey begins…

My goal with this expansion mappack was to create something as closely possible to the original Unreal/RTNP,
retaining as much as possible from the original feel yet introducing a few new elements. The idea came mostly from the fact that
i felt RTNP was incomplete as the succesor to Unreal and this mappack merely serves to expand on that...


Features:

An arsenal of original and  remastered weapons from Unreal/RTNP, aswell as exclusively new weapons.
The return of the original Unreal/RTNP enemies, aswell as exclusively new enemies.
A journey through 20+ levels of anything that Unreal/RTNP offered, aswell as some new innovations too!
A completely new intro flyby including its own startup and menu (optional!)

Requirements:

Atleast a copy of Unreal 224+ or Unreal Gold is required
An UT version is definitely in too, which currently requires Oldskool. I’m still unsure whether it will be a combined with the U1 version, or a separate version (I’m open for suggestions here).

Release date:

Holy crap 

That looks awesome, looking forward to this!

If you need music, I can probably pitch in, but it looks like almost everything's done.

I also have one question. Will this be compatible with 227?

Glad so many of you like the desert locations, i always felt myself they were lacking in unreal and any custom maps up to date.

The dragon is only one of the many new bossfights though, and sometimes you can expect to face multiple dragons at once  

The upak weapons are updated with extra animations and improved detail, its best to see them in action

Not much of a coincidence it looks like those from unreal2, the ice passage is a temporary base for marine operations

Yes ofcourse

It will be compatible with unreal 224 and higher, 227 is supported aswel and even includes some 227 specific features (footstep sounds, decals).
Its also compatible with UT (with the oldskool mod).

No mismatches either between any versions online, 227 players can play with 224/226 and vice versa

hey looks nice . Im working on a little campaign too and I think I will open a Thread in some time. Where did you get the gras texture and the trees? I could need them for my maps?

Hurry Up!!!!
I wanna PLay!
