Author's Notes
--------------
An Unreal Tournament Capture the flag map based in an Urban City.  Enjoy the thrill of a head shot?  Its nothing compared to a highspeed fly by zooming through the street, cruizing straight to the enemy flagbase.  Get a sneak preview of whats to come in Unreal Tournament.  Fly in a Helicopter! This is an epic quality map and the best work by Britton Wesley yet!

Originlly I though of Making another Matrix Face... version 6 you might recognize the Federal Building from the Matrix Face maps. (Textures also borrowed from Angelheart) But, I decided with so many choppers this was more of an Urban Tank Wars theme... plus I would have to worry about too many copright violations.  I also borrowed some cool textures and brushes from the city intro to Unreal Tournament.  Thanks epic dudes! 

The Saga
---------------

In 2051 the United Nations passed a law that prohibited private gun ownership.  Guns were rounded up and confiscated world wide.  Shortly there after in 2055, as the world population approached 22 billion, private ownership of land and property was also prohibited.  In 2061 another UN law was passed... All newborn babies were required to register with the UN social safety welfare program and receive a laser tattoo of the ssw number upon the childs forehead and right hand. Employment and the sale of goods and services was prohibited with out the laser tatoo. 

In 2063, after massive world wide layoffs by private corporations, large groups of people began to starve in urban cities.  They formed angry mobs which were brutally shot and killed by police.  As the mobs began to grow in numbers, UN peace keeping forces used tanks to crush them and fire rounds into the center of the angry but unarmed mobs.  Soon an organized rebellion was formed and lead by retired US Marine Colonel Albert "Big Al" Armstrong.  The newly trained rebels captured several tanks and took over several key cities in North America and Europe.  In 2065 out right tank wars were fought in cities around the globe.  

------ Urban Tank Wars 2 (The Saga Continues) --------

In 2067 after losing over 80 major metropolitan cities to rebel forces around the globe, the UN promoted one of their best and brightest. His name was Madul Mazumder.  Mazumder quickly centralized power between the police forces and military forces around the globe making them report directly to him.  He was a brilliant military strategist and the rebel forces suffered one defeat after another.  Killing zones, martial law and curfews were set up in any city suspected to have rebellious intentions.  
The civilians were given GPS implants to monitor their activities. This caused great outrage and increased the popularity of the rebellion.  Soon after Madul realized that to gain true control, the population had to be fitted with constrictor collars that could be remotely activated, killing the wearer by cutting off the flow of blood to the brain.  He quickly got the nickname "constrictor."

Within 6 months Mazuder had all but crushed the rebellion.  Once he was victorious he knew the UN would attempt to revoke his power.  Mazumder had other plans.  He assembled an elite squad of paramilitary experts and assasinated nearly all of the world leaders and UN Coucil members in an organized strike on November 14th 2067.  This infamous night became known as "the black night of the constrictor."  One week later he crowned himself king and ruled as the first world emperor (Mazumder I)  

Outraged, several nations attempted to revolt.  The rebellion had gained momentum from the people... but alas they were unarmed and unable to oppose Mazumders forces who headed even their own military troops.  Big Al realized that he could not win a conventional battle. He need to fight guerilla style, with no central location of power for the rebel forces. He needed to rearm the civilians around the globe. He knew he needed a quick distribution center, and a way of providing quick and easy access for people to sell arms around the globe.  

What he needed was a throw back to free market capitalism... an easily recognized capitalistic icon in every city around the world. Something with a uniform store front in every city every where.  What he needed was... McDonalds.  Rebel troops quickly applied for jobs and began distributing arms through McDonalds everywhere. Quietly they began rearming the civilian population.  The pass phrase was "Would you like fries with that?"  The code response was "No, I would like a gun." 

In 2068 Big Al Learned of the constrictors location... he was dinning at a rotating restaurant.  Rebel forces quickly assembled in a nearby cathedral and brought in a tank.  Big Al's hope was to capture Madul Mazumder and bring an end to his reign of terror.  

-- Helicopter Wars ( The Saga continues on ) ------

Before the empire Big Al had captured Catalon, a region in Spain.  He held Catalon for two years from 2065 through 2067.  It was the center of Rebel forces, with training facilities and a new democratic governement.  The name "Catalon" became synonymous with the rebellion and the desire for freedom and democracy.

On Feburay 2nd 2068 Big Al attempted to capture the constrictor. Ironically, Mazumbder was dining in the region of Catalon.  The empire had taken it back only a few weeks before. It was a trap.  Big Al fought a brave fight, but the rebel forces had been surrounded.  Mazumder fought Big Al hand to hand in an all out fight to the death.  Big Al was 30 years Maduls senior but put up a tremendous fight.  Holding a knife to big Al's chest he demand his surrender.  Big Al refused... his last words were "Though I may die Catalon will live forever..."  Stabbed in the chest, Big Al dragged his bloody hand across Mazumders shirt.  Mazumder stood with his blood stained shirt forever marked the villian.  Mazumder thought by defeating Big Al he would crush the rebellion.  Instead he had created a Martyr.  The rebellion grew in size and number.

A young General by the name of Ebin Kaval had fought the empire with Big Al.  He became the new leader of the rebellion.  He was previously a helicopter pilot in the UN special forces but became a rebel when his family was killed when police began door to door "clensing" in a city thought to be occupied by rebels.

Kaval had new plans and new tatics... he took to the air while the tanks occupied the ground.  He began the 24 hour 7 day week non stop guerilla tactics where rebels forces would work in shifts.  Hackers broke the code controlling the constrictors and soon Madul began suffering defeats...

Now in 2342 a capture the flag game has been created in an old urban center long since abandoned.  It has been restored and the replicas of the helicopters used in battle have built and are in working condition.  The blue team represents Madul's police force used to fight the rebels... the red team represents the rebel forces.  Who will win?  Its up to you...
