awesome 1v1 tourney map. once again found a gem for my old school purist build that looks great on the neural upscale hd textures.

This map rocks. You'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hard drive.

Funny you should mention an FFA map along these lines. I did start designing one with the architecture of St Paul's cathedral in London as the basis for it. I don't know whether I'll get back to that map, but I'd like to do something on a larger scale with this style of architecture.

Yeah, I thought the pink color wasn't actually on the skulls themselves, which is why I wrote pink in quotes.

I'd definately like to see a multi-weapon FFA map with this sort of design.

Thanks for the comments Octovus.

I'm not really much of a tourney player myself. The map resulted from an experiment that got carried away. :-)

I agree with Kell about the pink skulls. Actually, the colour comes from the zapscroll shader. When I built the map I still had my old monitor and a Voodoo 3 3000 card so the colours looked OK. With my new set up Q3 maps started looking pinkish. Pity, 'cos it looked better on the old system.

Personally I didn't think a level this small was likely to have much longevity anyway.

Fun rail arena - it's nice looking but no system strain at all :-) Bots play as well as can be expected, and they of course aim according to how hard you set them. I suppose if you played this one on one, problems could come from bots not roaming but I prefer FFA and there they always meet eachother, which keeps them on their feet.

A note on quad in "Rail Arena" maps: If the mapper hasn't 'banned' the machinegun, whip it out once you get the quad! Not as much aim required and you get more bang for your buck :-)

P.S. 8 from me, though its a 9 for a rail arena.
