| '''Mods:''' '''[[Balanced_Annihilation| BA]]''', '''[[NOTA]]''', '''[http://s44.koshi.homelinux.net/ S44]'''
| |
| The '''[[Complete_Annihilation | CA]]''' mod is nice to have the it needs the CA Dler to be updated. For some the
| |
| CA Downloaded is a great asset to their spring experience, to others it is a great hassle
| |
| NOTA will need the OTA content.
| |
| | |
| '''Maps:''' Tabula-v2, Comet Catcher Redux, DeltaSiegeDry (only because it is overplayed),
| |
| Maps for NOTA: Small Supreme Battlefield Dry, ExpandedTropics, Tempest,
