Yes the review is pretty unfair. We've played a handful of rounds on this one and it's solid.

Aesthetic choices aren't quite all aligned but frankly this map is better in that regard than a LOT of maps out there.

The very slow respawn on the MH is a huge benefit, keeping the action flowing instead of focused within that single room.

Lastly, glad to see that the author produced additional very good maps.

worth noting the level comes with its own custom bots

Perfectly fine layout and the fun factor is there. Some of the texturing is a bit weird,(like the stretched starceiling by the railgun) but looks otherwise consistent. Skybox looks great and is one of the good details of the map. Well worth a fun frag or two.

Wow, I must say that I am more than shocked by the severity of the review. I don't think the map is anywhere near as ordinary as it has been made to sound. I'll concede that some of the architecture is on the simplier side ("dodgy" is a bit strong IMO) and yeah bot play is not super, as I pointed out in the readme. I'm mystified by your claim that I don't understand how a skybox works. It isn't a skybox, it's simply one window showing a view of terrain.

As for the layout and gameplay comments, I think they are both pretty good and enough to carry the map. I will say though, that players that can't strafe jump well will have difficulty running certain paths through the map (ie the teleporter jump and there is also a double jump to the RA via the top of an archway available as a shortcut). I've played a lot of duels on this map in the month since I released it on my humble little home LAN and we've had some great cat and mouse type duels... what can I say? Each to his own I guess.

As for waiting for the author's next map... don't hold yer breath.
