CTF-Searchlight

The lighthouse serves as a beacon to this remote island, thought to be the ancient home of the Necris Prophet. The spiritual components of the Necris conversion are greatly misunderstood, and their power is vastly underestimated. Those who are willing to face the impact of their conversion often come to religious centers like this one to meditate.

Tips & Tricks

Offense

Defense

  • The Red and Blue searchlights spins around aimlessly. But if a flag is taken the corresponding beam will follow the FlagCarrier. This may not be extremely useful but will atleast give a hint of the general direction of the FlagCarrier.

Trivia

  • This map was released with the first UT3 bonus pack, alongside CTF-FacingWorlds and DM-Morbias.
  • The name of the map comes from an item in the first Unreal.
  • It had a bug in the map where the Red beam follow the Blue FlagCarrier. This was fixed in patch 2.0.
  • It was supposed to be packed with the retail game, but seems that it was not done for before the release date. This was the briefing:
Akasha's last hope for sanctuary was here, on the island of the prophet, but when she got here the entire island was deserted. Sounds like she's cracking up, but don't underestimate her. I bet she's got a few last tricks up her sleeve.
