Almost Lost by ID Software is a map that Fred Nilsson found straight out of the Quake3 archives, but it was cut for one reason or another. The creation of the map had been started a long time ago, but was never finished. Supposedly it was being created as an homage to the Edge from Q2, but being in the incomplete state that it was in, Fred ended up just finishing the map off, and presented it to the public for their enjoyment. The map has a gothic flavor that flows with the rest of the vQ3 (in-game) maps. I personally wish that it had been released as a part of the game, but thats just me. =) It does have similarities to q2dm1, but much smaller in size. All of the q3 weapon are included bar the BFG, and also a MH which takes some skill to get at. I found a ton of spots where you can stand on the skulls on the walls, and a camping spot is also included, hehe. Since the release of the map, I haven't taken it out of my baseq3 folder, and I've never been like that with any map. So if that says anything about the maps longevity, than there you have it. In the countless times that I've played it offline against bots, and in the times I've had the opportunity to play it against someone online, the map is pure tourney at heart. There are so many different strategies to be found that it's sick! Try playing it with the cpma mod, and WATCH OUT! This map is a straight classic in my opinion, and if you don't have this map yet, than I feel very sorry for you =(

DOWNLOAD ALREADY!!! =)

This map rocks! (if you like smallish levels)

It's got open spaces for railing, tight spaces for rockets, trick jumps for days, and lots of ways to cut guys off in the chase. woot! great fun for lunch time dueling!

I wouldn´t say that, this map is not as polished as the other id maps. Take a look at q3dm8 or q3dm0, they are visually great even by todays standards. Almost Lost has even the "broken jumppad shader" newbie error.

Tetzlaff: polish-wise, the map design is pretty much on par with former id maps IMO. I guess we've been spoiled by all those great maps released since the early days of Q3. Not a bad map mind you, but seems a bit, well, mediocre. Maybe because it was meant to be played with VQ3, but I couldn't find the richness of gameplay I was hoping for.

Yeah, the first thing I noticed was the lack of polish. Fred Nilson probably hasn´t much experience with level design, after all he´s just doing the animations for Doom3. Would have been better if one of id´s level designers finished the map.

Pure gameplay and little else... You can see why it was a q3 reject. It lacks so much polish, you almost wonder if it's really a professional map and not someone's first release.

The main area that's pictured looks excellant, but everything else looks quickly thrown together in an attempt the finish it. Not to say it's horrible by any stretch of the word, but you wonder if it was worth saving in this day and age of maps with just as much fun, with better looks, and a lot more work put into them.

I dont know if i like it. The layout is decent, but the aesthetics are below average. I had some fun playing this one as an FFA on a pub server, but i dont think its quite id quality. Maybe if i played it as tourney more..

The whacky respawn times aggravate me as well.

7/10 cuz im in a good mood :)

Something about this map makes me keep coming back to it. Its appears very simply at first, yet the layout works so well. It has something for all types of players (so long as you like smallish levels)

Its a damn fine map :]
