Kind of an ugly duckling, but there's quite a bit of fun to be had here.

Good size for 1v1, though the powerups can shift the tides a lot. However their being on the lower level helps mitigate that somewhat.

To correct Tyre below, there are two paths from the lower level up - one jump pad and one staircase.

Overall a solid offering that's good for occasional rounds.

I feel his maps Blood Cage and Final Shutdown are better.

Oh and I love it when I'm the first comment in decades. GO PLAY THIS MAP!

People can RJ, grenade jump, or plasma climb easily enough. Problem for bots, I agree.

Architecturally, this would be improved by a few more curves. The game play has one problem: there are plenty of places to go down, but only one jump pad to go back up again. Ups and downs should be better balanced.

Downloading this and Aerial Dreams, not sure what to expect...and this one was a real surprise. It's amazingly fun, certainly the most I've had in recent Q3 maps (seeing as the two "highly recommended" downloads in this Lvl posting I had played months ago).

Lots of in your face fighting, which moves very evenly throughout the arena. The three atriums are similar in layout but there is no problem with that, as it helps spread out the fighting. Almost all your favorite weapons are there, though the BFG and LG are wisely omitted. Gothic has never looked much better, and I agree with McBugzz comment in the readme: He makes it because he likes it, though he hopes you'll like it too of course :-) And I sure did!

Solid 9 out of 10 from me.
