CTF-Lance

Cut content
This article covers content which was scrapped from the Unreal series. These items might have been considered at some point, as there is proof of them in betas or screenshots, but for some reason were not featured in any Unreal game.

Lance is a cut Capture the Flag map from Unreal Tournament 4.

Overview[]

Another asymmetrical map, set in a water treatment facility, with two diagonally-facing bases. The Red Team starts in the upper base, while the Blue team has an underwater base. Both bases are symmetrical.

The Red Flag is situated in a ledge accessible via two lateral ways or a jumppad, and right next to it there's an elevator leading to a long ramp that leads to a large dropdown into the water.

The Blue Flag is located at the rear end of the underwater base. The base is water-protected by forcefields that allow players and projectiles to enter; a jumppad there leads directly to the Redeemer, bypassing the water's friction. On the path to the flag from here, there's a low gravity section with two button-triggered turbines that suck anybody unfortunate enough to be caught on them; it contains two exits in the flag's side and one in the underwater entrance's side.

As for the middle area, in addition to the water pool, there are two sidepaths that allow players to have extra choices when escaping with the enemy flag or attacking.

Trivia[]

The map was introduced in the June 25, 2015 update of the game, and removed in the February 22, 2017 update.

"Lance is an assymetrical level with large iconic statues and a middle water area the lends to epic battles for the flag."

– Stacey "FLaK" Conley^[1]

Despite the map not being available to load from the menu, the map file is still in the latest files, in the folder OnHold.
