A simple floater that appears to be set on a moon of Jupiter. The arena
consists of a single square platform of symmetrical layout with 8 pillars for
cover and 4 spawn points. Players spawn with 125 health, 100 armour and a
rocket launcher equipped with 200 rockets. A player will have to rely on that
and items dropped by opponents. This pack comes in two flavours -
Tourney and
Free For All sporting a different texture set. FFA
also includes 16 green health bubbles and a Quad which spawns in the centre. It
is possible to rocket jump to the top of the pillars with Quad and a
respectable amount of armour and health. The Tourney screenshot gives the
impression that MH spawns in the centre but I found this never happened.
Arena and bot files are included. Bots play fairly well as far as bots go and
this pack would work equally well for instagib. It won't win any awards for
originality but LAN it for some frantic rocket fun. A competent effort.

Second opinion
EM Pack contains two levels,
Voox which is FFA and
Qoox which is
tourney. Apart from different textures, the two
levels are identical
architecturally. They are also nothing more than a flat, square expanse dotted
with eight columns. In both maps you are armed solely with the RL. Voox comes
with some strings of 5 healths and a quad, but nothing else; Qoox does not even
have that much. So if you enjoy fragging opponents on a completely flat map,
you will love the mayhem of Voox. The columns are theoretically the one
concession to tactical play, but the bots are not that way inclined, hence the
mayhem. On Qoox you are pitted against Anarki, but without any items in the
map, he shows no inclination to go sightseeing, which means that if he can not
see you, he stops moving and can easily and sneakily be disposed of. Either
way, the gameplay in both versions of the
level is uninteresting.
Qoox is missing a texture.
In spite of the smallness of the download, this is not 1.3Mb I'd recommend to
anyone.
