Overview |
DM-Barricade is a Deathmatch map for Unreal Tournament.
Map description[]
The map is an almost symmetrical large, floating asteroid with a castle on top. The castle itself is embedded into the asteroid and holds several areas of interest.
First, there is the outer area itself. The surroundings of the castle hold several items of interest and escape/entrance routes for players.
Players can enter the castle via the front gate, where they can access either the Courtyard or the Northeast/Southeast towers of the castle. The Courtyard itself holds a weapon, is connected to the other end of the castle, and allows players to traverse between floors if they have the Jump Boots. The lateral areas provide safer routes to the tower areas of the castle.
The far end of the castle, located at the East, is connected to many areas and serves as one of the main choke points of the map. It is connected to the Lower level of the map via stairs, to the Outer area via side doors, and to the Upper Sniper chamber via a lift.
Both tower areas (North and South) offer a lift to the highest level of the map, overlooking almost the whole Outer area. They are also connected to the Outer area via a door, and the South tower has a connection to the Lower level via stairs.
Finally, there is the Lower level, which is where the symmetry ends. Players will find a series of passages into two lower areas, Central and Southwest, and the whole area also features several holes, some of which can be used alongside the Jump Boots to access the outer areas of the Castle. The lower levels hold plenty of items and connectivity.

Tips and tricks[]
- There is plenty of ammo in the map, and most of it is well-distributed, so there is no reason to be unarmed.
- This map is a good example of how effective the Jump Boots are when it comes to mobility. Without them, some areas have very few ways to be reached, or cannot be reached at all.
- You must be very careful while taking each step, both inside and outside the castle. Crammed interiors and stronger opposition makes a stealth game almost impossible, except when you are on top, literally.
- With a single jump (assisted by anti-gravity boots), you can access either of the tall towers by jumping from the Redeemer's tower.[1]
- Get to know the downstairs portion of this map (an excellent area for the Flak Cannon), as it is maze-like and confusing at first, but contains great weapons and power-ups.[1]
- The castle lobby is one of the most heavily traveled areas in the map. Run inside with your Rocket Launcher or Redeemer in hand and eliminate unaware players battling amongst themselves. Memorize the path from the castle lobby (just behind the Pulse Gun) to the Shield Belt tower lift, which lies to the left. After grabbing the Shield Belt, hop down and grab the Redeemer. Leap back over to the fort walkway and grab the boots and the Rocket Launcher. With all those powers in hand, you should remain alive for quite some time and dish out tons of damage.[1]
Trivia[]
- The PC version of the map uses "Phantom" as a background track, while the Dreamcast version uses "Seeker".
- A "playable for PC" version of the map can be found among the Dreamcast version's files.
- The beta version of the map had a player count of 8 and "Strider" (a.k.a. "Into the Darkness") as a background theme.
