I'm afraid I have to agree with what's been said. There's other dm3 remakes out there that blow this one out of the water as far as aesthetics go. (take swelt's remake for instance) I don't mind minimalist maps at all, but this is just ugly. Misaligned textures, horrible lighting (I think I remember that computer room being soaked in bright cyan lighting... really?) and even the proportions in places don't match the original map.

Quake may not be intended to be an art museum, but there's just no excuse whatsoever for sloppy texturing and lighting. It's almost Cranky Steve worthy. Yup, I know it's harsh but that's honestly how I feel about it. :/

I love my original Quake maps and have played a few good remakes. The best remakes are those that have 'adapted' to the latest quake. This is still just like the original.

Also what extra map packs do I need to enjoy the map? It feels as though I am missing at least half of the textures due to all the default textures. Ugly indeed. I generously give it a 2. Matched the original layout but thats all it has.

Hard for me to enjoy the map because of the textures. It's nice to see someone try and I'd give you a 7 but I guess that's not the case. =]

The authors use of textures isn´t good at all, especially by todays standards (compare it to psion´s Fortress 2089 for example). Looks very amateurish, the outside area (the original Pentagram area) with it´s horribly tiled stone textures looks far worse then in the original Quake map.

The architecture is haphazard and lacks a consistant theme, some areas are extremely tight and have wrong proportions.

Sorry about the hard words, but I think the review is way to positive. I can´t recommend the download.
