Map review:

Back in 2005 when I was developing my Star Wars mod for AvP2, I put out the idea to any mappers who would want to develop Star Wars maps to be bundled in the mod. I had a bunch of takers but only two mappers actually came through with a finished product. The first was Artalavista, who made two maps for the mod. One of the maps was was SW_Tatooine for multiplayer. He also made a singleplayer version, which is this map, re-titled as "Tatooine Getaway".

At the time I gave Artalavista no direction other than it had to be Star Wars themed. He saw much of what I was developing for the mod and his imagination took over. The map is based on Tatooine with the player controlling Luke Skywalker. The objective is for the player to get to the ship to escape the planet. In order to do so, the player must find a way to deactivate the deflector shield first. It's a small map, but packed with a lot of things you would recall from the films. There is the cantina bar, the sand dunes, dual suns, etc. Difficulty is a bit on the easy side, but the dozens of chestbursters can do more damage than normal in that they will all pounce at the player if given the chance.

Tatooine Getaway is one of my favorite AvP2 maps as it's a fun and big departure from most horror-based AvP2 maps. Of course the map plays really well with my Star Wars mod working in sync. I highly recommend the map.
