[edit] Mapping
Most famous maps listed here, NOT ALL MAPS ARE LISTED!!
[edit] Devastation
This is the game Alex Baker (known as AJRAD) is most famous for mapping for.
Most well known maps are:
Blindside (1-5, 6 is by another author) - agreeably these are AJRAD's most played and enjoyed maps with translucent walls.
The City In The Sky - some people find the jump pad sounds on this irritating, but overall is considered a good map, it includes a secret weapon.
Hill Control - this is rumoured to be the first terrain map Alex made, it consists of a hill with a humungous treehouse and one base of huts (resistance) and a modern building (conformists), this map circulated the servers for a short time.
HIGH - hardly anybody has seen this map (supposedly less than 5 people) (I haven't myself), but apparently it is the greatest and most complex Devastation map every made. Alex Baker made this is conjunction with his "twin" Marc Connell (aka {[RTW]}Overdrive), the coleader of {[RTW]} and close friend of AJRAD.
[edit] UT2004
House of Noobs - a brilliant map that many have played, brightly coloured and fast paced.
Blindside (1&2, 3 rumoured to be coming soon) - brought from Devastation and enjoyed (although too many people use the side routes on BS2).
KillZone - a small 1on1 map (never seen it used as 1on1 though), in which you can choose which base to spawn in (its CTF).
[edit] Pariah
Rockage - a CTF in a small rock area with several routes to the enemy base. The Titan's Fist is in the middle, making the map slightly insane to play on.
[edit] Warcraft 3
In Warcraft3, AJRAD is in Clan CBS (Cow, Better than Sex), and is known for making maps with working AI systems.
Glaive Wars - not an entirely unique style of map, but an AoS (2 teams of heroes trying to destroy the enemy base, with units controlled by the computer) but instead you must capture glaive factories to produce glaives, when 100 glaives reach the enemy base it dies.
Elf Tag - completely unique despite the name. 6 players have each a Jailer, Hunter and Elf Woman. The hunter must kill enemy elf women to get them in his jail, which the jailor must protect from the enemies trying to rescue their women. The player with the most points at the end of the time limit wins.
Cursed Sands (1-4) - these are single player maps (I believe there is a multiplayer version of CS1 out there somewhere, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it) in which you type a text command to create units depending on your gold level. Then basically you just destroy all enemies.
[edit] Counter-Strike Source
rtw_owned - this is the only map I've played myself, its very small and orange, and the terrorists always seem to lose, but is fun (especially if you are CT).
I don't know any other maps but I assume there are more.
[edit] Coding
AJRAD is a programmer (it seems only for games running unreal engine), here is a list of his most well known mods.
[edit] Devastation
Insanity - this is a mod with extra health, admin commands and of course, insane weapons.
RTW Skins (1&2) - each package has 4 skins, 2 conformist, 2 resistance. The file sizes are too big.
GunGame - like the CSS mod, you start with one weapon and kill someone with it to move up to the next round. Unlike the CSS mod, you start with the most powerful weapon (Frag Grenade) then P*Laser, until Hands, which is very hard to kill someone with. This mod has only been seen on the {[RTW]} server so far.
[edit] UT2004
Crazy Weapons - much like Insanity in Devastation, has loads of overpowered weapons. I haven't come across the finished version of this yet, only the beta which was slightly buggy, but still fun.
Evil Snowman Invasion - when I was in the {[RTW]} server trying this out (christmas lol) AJRAD was there and told me that he didn't intend to make another version, it consists of several waves of variously sized snowmen (a model by Alex) trying to kill you.
[edit] Pariah
Alex made a couple of weapons to put in a map for Pariah, but hasn't made any large-scale mods I know of.
[edit] {[RTW]}
[edit] History & General Info
{[RTW]} was formed in June 2001 (I was there) in the game Red Faction. The first members were {[RTW]}AJRAD (as leader), {[RTW]}Hellmash and {[RTW]}Genesisocide.
{[RTW]} stayed as an RF only clan for a while but then moved into other games (Devastation I believe was the first of the others). It soon became well-known not only in RF but in plenty of other games. After a while Alex went a little bit crazy and started the clan in loads of other games, quickly racking up power.
Now (2006), {[RTW]} is one of the largest clans in gaming in over 15 games with over 400 members. AJRAD still leads with Overdrive at his side.
[edit] The twins
Alex Baker (AJRAD) and Marc Connell are known as the twins of {[RTW]}, the original reason the this is supposedly that they finish each others sentences and are shockingly similar in chat and gameplay.
NOTE: Alex and Marc are not related and I don't even think they have met.
