Talay: Tak Base

Description
"Talay: Tak Base," by AQT and MasterSaitek009, is a recreation/reimagining of the level of the same name in "Dark Forces."

"Tak Base" features first and foremost a campaign mission (which is always a big plus in my book), also a recreation of the story from "Dark Forces" (or at least the part featured in that level). It follows Kyle Katarn as he infiltrates a Rebel base recently taken over by the Empire. Kyle has to restore power to the town/base and then sneak in and find a clue to the Empire's "Dark Trooper" project. The campaign is a decent length (with searching, it'll probably take at least half an hour) and well-scripted (as MasterSaitek has proven himself well-capable of doing).

Also included is uber mode (conquest with units++). Uber mode "recreates" the battle before the campaign, where the Imperials are taking over the base with their fearsome dark troopers. Although it was certainly intended, the dark troopers (as well as their Rebel counterparts, the Bothan spies, probably for balance reasons) are still a little more overpowered for my tastes (when compared to the other units). In fact, the Rebel "best unit," the Bothan spy, is probably even moreso - it can stay cloaked almost indefinitely with a sniper rifle to use at his leisure.

The map itself is well-done, some custom props are mixed well with stock Bespin props to create a nice-looking town - I would prefer, perhaps, that it weren't so open, though.

Anyway, it's a very nice map and definitely worth your download, for the campaign mission if for nothing else. Give it a try!
