The author says in the comments that he hates this map and I can see why; because it is so asymmetrical, and all but lacks a middle area (a small two-tiered atrium that houses the RA and flag/harvester in TA), as Tetzlaff suggests it would have made a better death match. I agree that this map would have worked fine in this game type, removing the frustration. Forcing it into the TA mould feels a little like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. There are a few things that bug me about this map but it is always a bad idea to have the harvester and white flag spawn over things like lava pools (or death pits). If you are not going to provide a way out or place a trigger that resets the flag straight back to the original location then block the lava off. Either way, none of this saves harvester from all the wasted frags.

I know one of the previous versions of that map since quite a time and I always liked it, because it´s one of the very rare non-symmetrical CTFs for Q3. Also there is some very nice architecture and cool details all arround. This final version has some improvements, I like the jump pads and the changings arround the red base. But it still looks like a deathmatch map, for example the stained glass windows in the blue base are red, and in the midfield you don´t know where which team area starts and ends, quite confusing.

Hope to see some more non-symmetric maps in the future!

This map is a revised version of my 3rd map ever made for quake 3. It was a nightmare to work on. it was a nightmare to fix and I still grit my teeth when I look at it.

I hate this level and all of its other versions...

All I can say is im glad its over
