Preliminary Level Design
Game Level
Based on a University campus, “Campus Life” takes advantage of the open parking lots and
the architectural precision of the buildings built. Built on a grid, this campus makes it easy for
internal and external maintenance. The 4 buildings setup has an underground parking structure that
is integrated into building 2 of the campus. The 4 buildings are of different heights and widths to
cater to the specific services provided. In this Deathmatch arena, players will be spawned in
random locations throughout the map.
Chronology
The level will be random in game play but specific in its flow (chronology). Players will be
able to enter all structures above and below ground picking up the necessary weapons, ammo,
health, and special abilities.
Although the level is specific to this game style, this map can take advantage of every
weapon made for the Unreal Tournament 2004 Arena.
Focus
The focus in the level will be to kill and dominate the enemy in order to rack up points
(kills) and win the match.
Power ups
Pickups and/or abilities needed and acquired are based on player’s skill. Because the team
that holds onto the most powers and racks up the most kills in a combination wins the match.

N/A
Look and feel of each of the level:
The look of the level is based on Greek mythology and architecture. With a futuristic feel,
the basis of the map will be as though Greek rule never fell. So pillars, A-framed roofs, and white
marble will be the overall style placed in the architecture.
The level will be bright, vibrant and beautiful. The emotion of the level: Lovely
The pace of the level will be fast and exciting. The lighting will be bright and lively. I wish the
player to come out of this level with feeling that games can still immerse you into a world of fantasy
and excitement that will bring you back time and time again.

Power ups
Pickups and/or abilities needed and acquired are based on player’s skill. Because the team
that holds onto the most powers and racks up the most kills in a combination wins the match.
Strategy
Since the map is built for internal and external, the player should fight in the area that they
fight best in.
A player should not fight in an area they do not excel in. Instead get back up from an
experienced player in this realm.
The level is a medium in difficulty, which gives most players the opportunity win the
match.
A player will be taught to use weapons in the arena they are best suited for. A player must
master the player control of the Unreal tournament 2004 character in First Person Shooter view.
