Interesting how the author made a tier for single player, it's pretty rare to find new tiers (unless i modify scripts and make tiers myself) and he even made title screen become Q3 demo's title screen and the cutscene after beating level 4, became Sarge's ending.
About the maps, they are pretty good. I managed to get a perfect on last arena because i showed my rail skills, XD. No seriously, i'm a good player (though not as skilled as other players) i play usually at Hurt Me Plenty which is medium difficulty i believe and sometimes when want more challenge, i play on hardcore but NEVER EVER on NIGHTMARE! it's too hard. i don't understand how some players can make nightmare difficulty look so easy.
still, this map set is a good one. i would give an 8.
