A really good map to perfect your rail gun skills. Gameplay is good, maybe putting a bit more lights in the map will improve the lighting. Textures are used nicely and the mirror is a nice feature. The best feature is not having to search the map for a railgun when you spawn.

A great first map [A-6]SgtGhost, 8/10.

loox good for excessive

the mirror is a nice touch...

not too much else to it. plays fine, but not great. certainly not bad.

I like to see interesting ideas for maps, and this one is no exeption. I thought the lighting (if a little over used) made a nice cooling atmosphere. I don't usually like maps that center around bouncing, but this one refreshed me and I got a good few hours of enjoyment out of it.

Nice work Sgt:)

Nice map, lots of fun with 1 or 2 bots. I'd like to see a version with more lighting as well.

boxes r fine, they keep you on the edge of your seat trying to avoid your opponents(since everyone can see you) and you never run out of the action, there's no hiding spots and campers have a hell of a time trying to be jerks. so if you enjoy constant action and "edge of you seat" gameplay, i think boxes probably fit the catagory perfect.

WTF? cool map! coulda' been a wee bit bigger, but nice concept.

thx HiroJin

I actually really like this map. Playing maps like this just make me even more anxious for RA3.. When you think of the quality of the RA2 maps that have come out, RA3 will be the ultimate..

Oh yeah, back to the map.. Ghost, keep up the good work.. maybe next time add a few more donuts and bounce pads.. That's about the only thing that kinda made the map get boring really quickly..

If there was either another level up (damn mirror) or maybe make 3 donuts in a triangle fashion with corresponding jump pads and a 4th one in the middle higher (pyramid style) with a pad to get there too, it would really add some replayability to an otherwise cool map.

This map is really simple but its fun, i played it with some friends and we had a ball.

It's a good map to improve ur railing skills. The only thing that matter when i play in a map is having fun. I saw some very cool looking map with great architecture but they were lacking gameplay. here thats not the case

so this is the nursery section no wonder your getting all sensitive" about tigger's comments your map is not bad for a beginner but its not really worth the download either, sorry but thats what its about - if i'd realised you'd put a map up i'd have replied to you here instead of taking up space at organicfusion - but I totally stand by what i said - good on you for having a go but you gonna have to work harder if you want the cred.

i don't see Tigger's comments as a review so much as an opening remark* i certainly don't only read what Tigger says about a map or give it any more weight than what others are saying - if Tigger wanted to set himself up as some sort of level guru this site would be the same as all the others - with only one opinion on it the map maker or a reviewer - which totally sucks dogsballs. You better hope no-one submits you to cranky steve's site now that man is harsh.

It's a box with railguns. He said it was a box with railguns. What more do you want? :)

SgtGhost: I don't want to discourage you from mapping, I'd prefer to see everyone (myself included) stick at it and imporve, regardless of what the 'critics' say - and don't forget that a review is just a glorified opionion.

The point I wanted to make though is not specific to this map, but a general one. Tigger-oN is a mapper, and a lot of the people that comment here are mappers. Some of you guys need to be aware that map makers are a LOT more critical of levels than the average player. Whether that is good or bad is not particularly relevant, but that is the way it is, and as a result we will tend to be much more critical of crap, but also we tend to really praise the high quality levels (which are few and far between at the moment).

I'm sure there are plenty of people who are happy to play a box with railguns, however personally I want to see maps that are of a professional quality, with interesting visuals, good layouts and obviously nice gameplay (and light, item placement, ambient sounds.. etc...).

Maps with decent gameplay but poor visuals are not acceptable, and vice versa (just my opinion of course). Sorry. Why waste my time playing a level that plays ok but looks crap, when I can play levels that play well AND look great?

I throughly enjoyed this map, its a fast and fun map. Doesnt have to be a huge map with loads of textures and bouncy pads to make it fun.

Railing is very satisfying a good map to help improve your rail skillz

Personally I hope my map will get ripped to shreds when I post it up for review, no really, this helps me improve and make even better maps later on. Allthough mine isnt a box and it has actuall gameplay.. <cough> Im sure I can still improve in areas. Well anyway I support Tig in his method of "reviewing" maps. This site is by far my favorite as far as map sites go, keep up the good work!

tigger is giving the maps realistic reviews..

i mena if u make a box.. thats has some curves and textures and leaks and other cool stuff :).. then you arent going to get a kickass review.. as good as you get would be a 'its cool for a box' id guess..

..hopefully ill have a map up here by the end of next week for the ultimate judgement :]

Later

Thx for the feedback guys.

I did this map for my own pleasure to play against the bots, witch i don’t think they are that bad. I have submitted this map for one reason, to see what kind of review Tig would do, to be honest, i wasn’t surprised by is comments. I’ve sent this map to a lot of people and didn’t get any bad feedback so far, except for here.

Everyone has a right to give there opinion, but when you specify to send the readme file and you don’t even check out what’s in there, well maybe your should reconsider this website. If you didn’t understand what i meant Tig, that’s another reason for you to stop reviewing.

This is my first map in the Quake Community, its not a masterpiece, but I didn’t fail in gameplay and that’s were you failed Tig!!

Later!!

I enjoyed it. I took it for what is was and had fun with it. It doesnt have to be a masterpiece to be a good map!!!

This map is cool. Even if it's a BOX... the gameplay is there... The mirror gives this good confusion the first time you play in it... worth give it a try guys
