OGB_Fort

Amazin' what a difference one little texture can make in a level. Fer th' OBG posse's Fort level, Frenchie mixed up a new, fresh texture that totally transforms this level an' sets it apart from every other Outlaws level you've played. It's th' same transformation ya may see every winter, dependin' on th' climate in yer region. It's snow.

Th' cool tones of th' light coating of snow on th' ground an' cliff ledges, combined with th' deep blue sky conjure up a nippy northern locale fer this fort. It really is a fantastic effect, exactly opposite th' firey red feelin' of Lucasart's "Orleans" level. Ya kin almost see yer breath condensin' in front of yer face an' you'll welcome th' cheery, warmin' glow of yer gatlin' gun's muzzle flash. If there was only a crunchy snow footstep sound I'd be runnin' ta put on a scarf an' mittens.

'Course there ain't no
such luxuries in this level. In fact there are some downright morbid touches, such as a small plot of unmarked graves, one of which is dug up, th' hole leadin' down inta th' dark, dank basement below th' fort. It's scary, but intrepid adventurers'll find th' trip well worth their while. Th' fort covers three stories (countin' th' basement) an' a walled courtyard with a small outer building connected to th' second floor by a narrow walkway along th' outer cliff wall. Th' level itself is in th' shape of a torus (think donut) with a smaller cabin set opposite th' fort, a natural arrangement fer Capture th' Flag games. Th' cliff walls are quite innovative in their use of narrow, slanting ledges that you can creep along ta reach an advantageous position.

Th' level reveals close attention ta detail an' ta framerates. I thought th' graveyard with it's multitude of gravestones would surely slow my fps, but I found that it was cleverly constructed ta use th' minimum amount of pieces possible an' didn't slow my display at all. There are all kinds of 'lil nooks an' crannies ta creep into an' item placement an' balance has been carefully considered. This level is a classic, an' you'll play on it so long ya won't even notice th' cold. Jus' don' stay outside too long, you'll get frostbite! Well, not on yer trigger finger.
