Enquiry on powerups

[Shade]

Howdy dudes! :)
Yes, miracles happen! - I finally came out of my year long UT mapping slump and have been working on this map (sorry about the dark thumbs - but the screenies are a bit better) :

I'm also looking for some different BETA TESTERS for this '3rd beta version'...so if you're interested please let me know and I'll send you a link. :) email: ramshawm@iinet.net.au

Anyhow, I have a question regarding 'Powerups' : If you had to choose between having the 'UDamage' or the 'Shieldbelt' in a level - which would it be???
I have opted for the 'Shieldbelt' as it's not quite as devastating as the 'U damage' but I'd like to know what you people think would be preferable by the majority of players?
Thanks in advance,
Shade

BTW - When's the closing date for the current contest Yeti? I might submit mine if I am allowed to...?

I'd go with the UDamage - 'cause it really affects gameplay - and the map should be fought around it. ;)
The sheildbelt is often walked straight past - players just don't care enough.
But it depends on the map.

You've still got 4 days to put it in the contest ;-)

Looking forward to playing it.
I'd be happy to Beta it - but kinda busy this week.
:D
