awesome

thanks.

my first creation looked WAY different to this xD

I liked the minimalism here with the fistful of abstract. Its unique and people should probably just focus on the fact that AiO was going for something different. However, the map's layout is questionable let alone the fact that certain parts of the level look as though someone took tons of crayons and melted them all over the place.

AiO should be glad that Cranky Steve isn't doing reviews anymore. But I don't think that is what is discouraging him from releasing more maps.

Thats pretty harsh :O. Its his/her First map you cant get everything perfect the first time.. I was like this for my first map but i started progressing and eventually got to best maps with 5,000 + downloads/hits.

I see this is your first map Just keep practising.

I do agree with MuffinMan that the author has potential, though. He knows how to create custom textures / shaders and have them show up in his map. He does seem to have a good imagination as well, which will be a huge benefit for him if he ever makes more maps. The map itself too could also become a nice RA3-style duel map with a bit more height, etc. and perhaps replacing those stairways with proper doors, etc. and ofc distributing the weapons more evenly rather than putting them in a closet.

Yep. I agree with the review. 2/10 as well.

I saw a lot of potential in this map, which is a strange thing to think when it's 2 seconds away from a Cranky Steve classic. It's got enough vertical action and an interesting layout. Sure, everything else is pretty bad but scale the map up so it fits in with the physics properly, a couple extra routes/teles added and you have a decent alpha version.

2/10 though, obviously.
