Unreal Tournament 3 Performance Preview – AMD and NVIDIA Compared

Map: Suspense

A Vehicle Capture the Flag mission that takes place on a suspension bridge can offer a quick and dirty death, or a way to perform brilliant flanking maneuvers.  Suspense offers no less than 4 ways to get your bloody mitts on the opposition’s property, not counting the Top Gun route.  The quickest, and most popular is the direct route, straight down the middle of the bridge. 

It’s popular not just because of the speed in which it gets you to battle, but because you can do so in style, sitting in the cockpit of a Manta, Goliath or whichever vehicle you prefer to create road kill with. If you can’t catch a ride (or a bumper) there are buildings to the sides of the bridge that will get you across without putting yourself under as heavy fire as the middle route subjects you to. 

Others may prefer to walk above the entire length of the map on the suspension cables that hold the bridge, and take advantage of the various power ups to be found in the towers mid-way across.  More deviant players may skip the bridge altogether, instead choosing to go below and use the rickety wooden piers and bridges that can also take you across the river to your enemies flag, and offers a chance to take a quick break at the island in the middle … to pick up the Redeemer.
