A rather lovely looking map. Unfortunately there's a lot of "sameness" to the levels and areas which make recognizing your location harder than it should be.

However, the unforgivable sin here, and after looking at other maps, this seems to be a trait of redfella, is the incredibly sparse allocation of weapons. We've played it twice and each round was nearly ten minutes. We agreed that aside from the obvious RA, most of the time we spent just hunting down the weapons.

It's never fun when you feel like you're fighting the map (or author) as much as your opponent.

Fortunately we both were equally unfamiliar. If one of us really knew the layout the other person would've never stood a chance.

Having said that, it simply wasn't fun enough to warrant playing more, and I'm surprised folks haven't had more feedback about this, and the author's penchant for miserly approach to weapons/items.

outstanding job on the layout and texturing: spot on! I would have given it a 5 but for the proximity of the rg/ra at the top of the map. It's not a crime, but I've played on so many maps that default to this set-up it has become a bit of cliche. It really makes for a literal reading of top and bottom player: with the player at the bottom of the map at a serious disadvantage! The problem here really is that you can reach all main areas of the map from the top without having to drop down. This wouldn't be a problem if the rg was somewhere else. Given that, this map really needed the MH somewhere at the bottom. The level design itself: just awesome! You should be pleased with yourself for a job well done.

Pretty awesome map redfella. Bots are pretty poor and like Tig said, it should be for online gameplay but overall nice map! 5.5/10

thanks for the review EmeraldTiger!

This map actually took a couple different forms as it was intially a map for Tenebrae and then another q3 mod engine. Though I never finsihed the map for either of those projects and the file sat dormant on my machine for several years. Being that I wanted to beef up my demo reel (just to do it I guess), I figured I'd finish off this bad boy.

For me, this map is the best I've designed gameplay wise, so I hope those who download it enjoy it! I put a lot of consideration into the layout. Hopefully that will show for those who play it. :)
