A stone keep deteriorating from the combined effects of constant rain and the sucking pits of hell visible through breaks in the floor. Must get pretty steamy between the lava and flooding. A very solidly built level the theme is well realised, the sections are all distinctive but thematicly consistent. A really nice use of sounds helps you to work out just what your opponent has and where they are. The items are well positioned, leading to balanced, tight games. The location of the Rocket Launch forces enough of a detour to make you think about going for it or at least makes you use other weapons. Bots navigate and play the level well.

Well worth checking out

Thanks Tyre, glad you liked it! The steam was actually a suggestion from one of my fine beta testers . . . this map is a lot better then it would have been without them. :-)

One of the best maps posted here recently - good stuff. Note the way the lava is turning the rain into steam - a little detail that might not be spotted.

elvis--did you try upping your LOD to see the rain? (I realize that's not exactly what you want to do if your machine is chugging already :-( --and I'm curious what your system specs are? I'm trying to figure out some consistency re: people not seeing the rain. Re: lagging--if you work at it pretty hard, you can get r_speeds over 10000 (~10,500) in one spot (standing in the middle of the cave with your back to the wall, being able to see the upper room and the courtyard), but that's actually a little less then some id levels in spots . . . course the rain adds to it a bit . . . :-)

In any case, thanks for the compliments and the feedback!

well not much has changed, but the new additions to the map suit it well.

i like the map very much and the teleporter,

but i would like to add that you do need a good processor to really enjoy this map

thats why this map doesnt compare to the id maps...because of the lag:)

yeah and i dont see the rain either, i can only here it.

i wouldnt keep this map on my hard drive for long, but it is burned so i can use it on my gigahz. monster machine , when i get it:)

oh and pjw this was also my first custiom map dld since the new point release,

which is preatty iLL in ctf mode

though id could do better than that! assists are cool:)

Thanks for the compliments and votes guys; I'm glad you like the map! Hopefully, I can still get my head through the door. ;-)

Hey SiCdeth, I feel honored! :-)

If the rain doesn't show up for you, try upping your level of detail--that's worked for some people (although it still just flat doesn't show up for some people too . . . dammit . . . I'm pretty sure some vidio cards just don't like it.)

If anyone out there doesn't see the rain initially, and then manages to make it show up, please either post here, or e-mail me, and let me know what you did, so I can pass it along to anyone that has problems!

well i hope the rain textures work this time around..

i know for a fact the final will be good, becuase i have been with this map since its beginning on the q3w boards.

feel honored pjw, this is my first custom map since my reinstall because of that crappy new point release!

*ah, i remember my first ever downloaded custom map.. addict by peej, got lucky on the first one :)

I too tried this bitch in beta...with the layout as connected as it is, seriously intense matches can be had with no trouble at all. Can you say respawn smackdown?

LAN matches in maps like this usually are accompanied with laughter since the players are having fun gibbing everything in sight.

Wicked rain and sound effects in a wicked little map.

Me rikey, rikey! Good job pjw.

I remember this one when it was in beta form. Still great, and is one I keep coming back to for that "one last game of the night". Great work pjw.

I would give it a 9.8, but you can't do that, so I'll round for you. 10/10 =)

it reminds me a little of quake1 (imo q1 is still the best dm-shooter :) ). the rain and the textures make this gloomy atmosphere i like. good job pjw.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, folks! I enjoy making these things anyway, but I enjoy it even more when I know that people like what I have done.

Simply fanatastic job on the atmosphere. I love the ominous feel the level has with the rain shader and the rain and thunder sounds. Awesome.

Gameplay is frenetic as hell. Very fast (and that's a good thing). One of my new favorite tourney levels for sure. Great work pjw!

Score: 9

Ayup, the use of sound cues was something I liked a lot about this map.

Small, fast, interconnected map. If you're in the mood for that style -- and why wouldn't you be now and then? :-) -- check this one out, it's a solid and fun example of that "school".

A cool looking/themed map, fun to play in 3 player FFA, and the sound cues from the puddles are very useful. A very nice level. I like, I like.
