On October 30th - 2004, over 4 months of work was packaged in bubble-wrap envelopes and shipped out across the land to every unsuspecting supporting member of Abattoir.Net; It was our way of saying "Thank-You" for your support...  Enclosed in the Abattoir.Net Compendium 2 was 20 gigs of goodies spanning three DVDs for Unreal Tournament 2004 -- this collection contains 15 Assault maps, 371 Deathmatch maps, 141 Onslaught maps, 14 Bombing Run maps, 191 Capture the Flag maps, 13 Double Domination maps, 50 Vehicle CTF maps, 150 new skins and even includes 10 Unreal Tournament MODs and the latest patches...  With the Compendium installed, there's little chance an UT2K4 player would ever be downloading a map at a LAN party!  On DVD3 we included some great bonus features from happenings around the Abattoir this year, like DieJestor blowing his hand off at the cottage with a rocket, all caught in HiDEF -- also, watch a wicked video of CorpsE whale on 666 BOTs in 9:11sec all sped-up and put to music...  Each and every Compendium 2 DVD box set is serial number stamped, embossed and registered to that supporting member...  If you received a Compendium DVD box set, hold on to your serial number.

The Abattoir Staff worked long and hard on this box set, but special thanks go out to Steve (Infinity) DeRyck who spent countless hours collecting maps, MODs and skins -- who basically engineered the entire Compendium and whom we all owe a hearty thanks to.  Thank-you for looking up our credits page, we didn't want to pollute the DVD art with accolades.  Here are the worker-bees involved in putting Compendium 2 together:
