A gothic castle with a fragmented overhang above one of the best organic outside areas we've seen. The map has a very polished feel with a consistent architectural theme and textures. The gameflow was a bit lacking however, connections seem unnecessarily roundabout, not fast flowing. A 1on1 was too slow (for me). The weapons also felt a bit sparse at times. 4 player games were the best.

A good map, but somewhat lacking in connectivity.

Update - There is second edition with more of a focus on Tournament play. Grab the second version from the ..::LvL Mirror. (6.dec.2000)

Hi all,

there is a new version of Sinister Purpose available on my website http://wdw.planetquake.gamespy.com/ which fixes the sticky doors (which was a qbsp error) and it also features a more Tourney oriented item layout. Try it and tell me what you think!

Yes the sticky walls was annoying at first. You get to know where the defaults of a map are and stay away from them.

Very nicely done. I give it an 8.

Sweet. You'll come for the art, but you'll stay for the game. And the Haste, of course. 8/10

Lovely map, but why must people write on the levelshots? It ruins the image of the map! Anyhow, well made and I loved the river bit :=)

Very good 1 on 1 map. Deceptively so in fact. Just running around and looking at it you get the idea that the connectivity isn't there but my opinion changed after a few good tourneys on it. Play it against a good player and you'll see what I mean.

Hahaha I found a bug!!

next to the telporter inside the building, you can jump against the wall and get stuck!

otherwise a cool map but the gameplay is non-existent

Great map for 3-4 people. I've played with my friends and we all thought that it's very nice, however the idea is simple.

This map is excellent, a 9. Nice rooms and wide corridors dominate so fragging is plentiful. Outside the castle we get nice trickling water sounds, the splish splash of the puddles also alert you of enemy presence. Good multi-level play, this map is as connected as Stevie Wonder at the Grammy's. Oh, those sweet nooks and crannies, places to hide and chill (good for HPB ad LPB) ! A castle that has atmosphere. Which is everything in a map.

"Lacking in connectivity?"

I think this map is great! Very well done, that screenshot reminds me Unreal's intro castle level... I played this map, very good gameflow.

You have to play *ALL* maps with "humans", bots play dumb on almost every map!

I myself think it cannot be improved in anyway bar the removal of a clip brush or to to make those invisable edges go away. And the cliffy rocks and rocky ceiling add to wht is an awesome atmosphere.

I didn't miss health so much as armor, was there any? Well I think adding another armor, and possibly some shrads, would do the trick.

The architecture on this map is cool, i find it very worked and the results are quite good.

Although, i missed some more health, only 4x25 is not enough... hate when you go running at 27 life and the most u can do until u find another player is to grab 1x25.

Some armor shards and small health lines would have been superb.

I'm very surprised at the low score, and yet some other very mediocre maps get much higher scores. I guess the masses have no taste after all. :/

Plus I bet many of the maps with very high scores aren't even known since they need 45 votes to show up in the top 10, which very few maps have got yet.

Ahh I`m innocent.

A very nice map which me and Dru had a good 1v1 on. I did notice those liittle clip things on some of the hallways and one near the RL tho but I don`t jump at wall very often.

Strange...the comments here sound friendly and yet the maps score is low. Well I liked it enough to give it a 7.5 which in this case I rounded up as opposed to rounding down like I usually do. =) The sparse health felt very right in this level and good use of the Portal was made, it fit better than regular teleporters would have. I liked the bounce-pad near the RL, helped gameflow alot. Good map for tourneys...however the bots didn't seem to know the haste existed. =( That's my only real gripe, besides perhaps some parts being pretty dark.

Happy Fraggin! Octovus

Nah, this map 0wns... Me and Gibby (aka Gibfest aka Jailbird aka Dealer... hehe) have decent 1-on-1 and the smaller amounts of health mean you pull the fights to certain areas.

Beautiful map too,

Dru

Great map, but there's a bug in it :(

It seems you can sometimes get stuck in the brushes of the doorways

Luckily it doesn't happen often tho, but still bloody annoying.

It's gonna stick on my HD tho =)

Yeah, health is definately sparse on this level, but I didn't find it detracted from the gameplay in the slightest (at least in the five player game I tried - wouldn't go for too many more players in there though..). Just makes you pay more attention to your health levels than you might be used to. Personally, I found that to be a welcome strategic element to this map - it just makes sense to be running AWAY from the lunatic shooting rockets at you, rather than charging up to them and blasting both of you in the face just because you're strong enough to survive... maybe a few shards of armour would have been nice, as the single red vest gets snapped up pretty quick tho...

Still, REALLY nice map that plays extremely well and looks great. Definately a keeper, and I doubt I'll ever be getting rid of it. Thanx Wiebo - keep 'em coming!

There aren't as many health powerups in this level as there are in most Q3A maps I've tried out. This forces one to plan ahead. Kamekazis who rely on constant health powerups to stay alive won't like this level much. Personally I like Sinister Purpose.
