Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
In this thread I'll discuss what my new map, BNTL, is all about:
(Here the Stratos course backtracks over the beginning walk section)
You start out on foot, with the option to ride a snowmobile a short distance to the base of a small mountain, that has multiple ways of reaching it's peek. At the top of this mountain there is a bridge to cross that leads to a slide like stunt.
Once past that, the 1st flag is a short jot ahead.
Now you can simply parachute to the docking area where there are a few small rafts and PT type boats that are set to take damage as soon as they spawn. There are also sharks in the water which made it fun for me to imagine that they were the cause of the vessel's demise. So, wrench up on a raft before setting sail to navigate the sharky waters. There are other rafts you can swap out with your sinking ship to allow you to progress through this section. Also, there are enough shallow sections for you to get out of the raft and wrench up if you would rather use a single raft. Once you get to the end of the raft section you will be faced with a simple speed boat course. I originally wanted these boats to be set to full throttle(auto) but alas, it didn't happen in the final version. The flag here however was left titled as "auto_speedboat_challenge", but that is not the case.
Just follow the water and frequently scope the map to make sure you don't hit any dead ends. This boat track goes on for a number of minutes and ultimately ends at the next flag(no shit Sherlock)! Now, accend the long staircase to cap the start of the main section of this map. "Rollin' True". It is another old school jeep track similar to my Almost Easy map. If you decide to take the APC or the Canadian trucks be warned: they don't handle this track as well as the Willy, Blackmedal(jap), and Kubel jeeps.
This is an extensive part of the map. If you made it this far ,
then you will notice about half way through this section, there is a flag on a radio tower in a fenced off area. This flag is labeled as "SuperBoostToMe".
Wait, what?! You might ask. Just keep truckin' on the path ahead and eventually you will find yourself in a cave that has two (holy)Stratos in a carsale building.
Abandon old faithful and hop in the race car. Just go straight and hit a few gaps that lead you back to the flag you had past earlier. Boost up into the gated area. Now this can be a tricky spot if you're not familiar with the Super Boost in a Stratos. These cars have stock nos/boost qualities, so try and make your attempts count. Boost up onto the red crates from the stack of pipes, get out, and climb the ladder to cap the flag on top of the radio tower. GOOD JOB!!! The finale awaits.... Here is a semi short Stratos track that will lead you over some !!! islands
and backtracks over the beginning walk section. It gets a bit hairy but stay focused, like a Ratchet or Shooter would, and before you know it, you will be at the small town where the factory flag is.
This is the first Auto Cessna Challenge!
There is a hangar across the way where the planes spawn and automatically fly towards you. Timing is everything, so do work!!! Launch off the grassy runway as a plane is departing from the hangar. Bail out of your car and aim for the plane coming straight at you. The best entry point on these Cessnas is in front and slightly below it.
Once you manage this challenge and you're now airborne, fly east to the last flag in a "cave" up in the "T" shaped mountain.
Once inside, bail out of the plane and climb the ladders and planks to cap the "WTFunk" flag.
That's it!!! Good luck and have fun!!

I have decided that this map needs a few fixes to make it a phunner experience and not take 2 hours to finish....
Some of the fixes including but not limited to......
Insert Kingpin style flags instead of German, added flag to split the kubel track into 2 sections, new kubel skins(reegad), add some speed to the speed boats, 4x4 the kubels, bombs on the choppers, added 2 battleships and an aircraft carrier, and fixes on floating trees/objects...
