– Map description
BR-Endagra is a Bombing Run map from Unreal Championship.
Map description[]
Bifrost Bases consists of, as the name suggests, two bases parallel to each other. The bases have two entries, firstly, the front corridors that go from directly inside, to a long, winding path to the goal hoops. Secondly, is the ceiling entrances, which one can access by throwing the Translocator to the ceiling of the base from outside. The outside middle region consists of small snowy hills, with the ball spawning in the center of an icy plain. There are many valley - like regions to the far right (from the blue base) of the ball. The walls of these valleys provide excellent sniping positions when one is to find the Lightning Gun.

"Endagra, a large Bombing Run map, requires a different strategy. Break your team into offensive and defensive units. If you are caught off guard with your entire team on offense, the other team can counterattack with brutal efficiency.
Another unique feature is the long run to the other team’s base. Getting your bomb from one base to the other is a perilous journey for a single player—nother reason teamwork is vital.
Another interesting element is the TAG rifle located on the backside of the map. This weapon is extremely useful on a large, open map like this and it can turn the tide in a tight game if you control it well.
Offensive Strategy
In Endagra, speed is not as important as teamwork. Only one main path leads into your enemy’s base, so use as many offensive tactics as possible.
Always travel with at least another team member. You might occasionally score by your lonesome, but your odds go way up with someone covering your back.
One smart offensive strategy is to pass the bomb back and forth between two players. If both players are skilled shooters and good communicators, you will be able to frustrate and annoy the enemy. Stay on opposite sides of ridges and valleys so that at least one of you is blocked from enemy view as often as possible.
If you make it into the base alone, make yourself an elusive target. Alternate your path, going the long way around the interior if necessary. If you need to, pick up health and shield power-ups.
With luck, the other team is spread out on this massive map and misses you altogether. If you hear a flak cannon, shoot at the goal, even from a distance. No sense wasting the run.
Defensive Strategy
If you love defense, you’ll love Endagra. By the time your enemies reach your base, they’re usually injured and low on ammo. All you have to do is finish them off. Find some high ground and rain fire on them.
Your goal room has a flak cannon. Grab it if you’re covering the base. It shuts down opponents indoors quickly, and ammo abounds. Guard the health and shield power-ups, too. You don’t want a charged-up attacker making a run for the goal.
Your base has a sniper bunker, which we’ll discuss in the Sniping Spot section.
Teamplay Strategy
Attack with at least two people, because the map favors the defense. An effective teamplay strategy on this map is to work together with a sniper. If he is well positioned, he can cover you as you get the bomb.
When you pick up the bomb, either shoot it your sniping teammate to run in or wait for other teammates to come alongside. Cover fire is crucial, because an aggressive enemy will not give you time to regroup.
Single-Player Strategy
The bots are brutal in the open ground. Head to the sides of the map and use the terrain to your advantage, blocking their view and—more important—their fire.
A useful trick for single players is to sprint out to the bomb first, and then, as you run to the enemy base (with bots in hot pursuit), pick up the adrenaline pack. With these power-ups, you can call on special abilities while you dodge their fire. If you’re lucky, you can kick in Agility or Invisibility, greatly enhancing the odds for success.
Sniping Spot
Endagra contains one of the game’s best sniper roosts. Each base has a teleporter near the shield spawning point that takes you directly to an armored sniper bunker. Inside the bunker is a lightning gun and two charge packs.
You also have a clear view of the deadly middle ground. If you shoot skillfully, you put most of the map under your control and give your teammates a huge advantage as they cooperate to bring the bomb to the other team’s goal.
Defensive Position
Aside from the awesome sniper bunker, one defensive position stands out. Directly across from the opening into your base is a raised platform that you can reach using your translocator. From this perch, you can spot an enemy entering the room, jump down behind him, and finish him off before he gets close to your goal.
Turn around and you’ll see a little slot that lets you to look into the goal room. Get as close as you can to the slot, shoot your translocator through, and you can load up the valuable flak cannon.
Kill Zone
The middle area of this map, near the health power-up, is by far the most dangerous area of the map. If you just want kills, jump into the sniper bunker and clean house, or grab a rocket launcher and make the middle area your private killing field."

Trivia[]

- Checker did the bases, while Dave Ewing did the central outer area.
Author's Notes[]
"BR-Endagra/Bifrost. Bombing Run! A very fun gametype that was perfected in UT2004 when passing was fixed / done right. I designed the bases to be hard to enter. With short cuts for attacker without the bomb, to soften the defenders from behind. Scoring requires team work and a good aim. In the PC version the glass was removed out of the big dome, making the map rather easy to score on instead of hard. The outside was designed by Dave Ewing. It was a fun collaboration.
I was responsible for half of the layout / meshing / lighting and all the bug fixing."
