Accolades[]
- His map CTF-Unearthed_SE won 3rd. place in the "Best Level With Original Content" category in Phase 1 of the 2003/2004 edition of the Make Something Unreal Contest.
- His map DM-1on1-Rivalry won 5th. place in the "Best Level With Original Content" category in Phase 2 of the 2003/2004 edition of the Make Something Unreal Contest, as well as a honorable mention in the "Best Level" category.
- DM-Fool'sBravado earned the CliffyB's Ownage award.
"This is an ass-kicking one on one map that also plays well in FFA with a few folks.
Chris Blundell has taken many textures that weren't even used in the retail release of UT and made them work extremely well in an industrial environment. His item placement is quite good and his attention to detail is top notch. Cracked pipes, out of place blocks, and missing glass panes are just a few of the things that he's taken the time and effort to create.
His lighting is very sterile and white but it works well in the areas he's built. Some might feel that this map is a bit tight for their tastes, but I've always been a sucker for maps where you cannot run from HOT FLAK!
I'm not very fond of the skybox that he's built onto this map, it barely works enough to suggest a city with rain. Chris, next time you should use a real skybox for stuff like that!
Regardless of my nitpicking, I'm looking forward to his next work as should you!"

- CTF-Unearthed_SE also earned the CliffyB's Ownage award.
"Plutonic bursts onto the 2003 scene with a stellar effort. Unearthed is a great CTF map that belongs on your PC and the servers out there NOW!
Visually, the map is great stuff. Here's what learning a 3d application can do for your level designs guys, take note! Plutonic's new brushes add quite a bit to the map; they really enhance the overall feel and make it seem like a real environment. Lighting is good, could be a bit better, and the texturing is nice.
Gameplay wise, the map isn't that large or complex. Depending on your CTF needs, this could be a good thing or a bad thing. 2 on 2 or 3 on 3 work well in this level. I saw an earlier version of this map that was filled with water on the lower level and it sucked. Swimming is for fishes, luckily Plutonic yanked it out.
Great stuff Chris! How's about a Bombing Run map next?"

- Lastly, not only was ONS-Icarus an Ownage map. It was also the first Ownage map for 2004.
"This is a stunning map that didn't make it in time for ship. However, since we had a couple of weeks from when the game was handed off we were able to take a bit more time to polish it up and have it ready day 1 for the very first ut2004 OWNAGE map! Icarus is a Morpheus style "fight 3 miles up" style of level. It features wheeled vehicles jumping from building to building, Raptors flying through interior halls, and a pair of very angry trapped Leviathans. Download this map now and add it to your rotation!"
