I'm not sure how this map gets a 4/5 in the votes. It's quite a work in the sense of effort and realism, but it's simply a mess to play it.

Some may not care, but I wanted to point out there is an image of a nude woman, and the tv screens depict blowjobs and nudity as well. In addition, the name the .pk3 file is q3basex.pk3, and yet the name of the actual .bsp is q3x.bsp. It is mentioned briefly in the readme file though.

This map is a good map. Some things I like are the design and how large it is. Though it has a lot of good things, it also has some flaws. I think that it's a bit over saturated with special items. (Quad damage, Speed, etc.) Bots also don't play that well. Overall, I don't really think its a keeper.

Great map!!! Love it! 5 out of 5!

The Bathroom is like-inevitable to run into(unless you attempt to avoid it) But this map is very fun. Why there is Church Music IDK. I had Cityrush before this map which has an office building and the kind of setting that this screenshot has. Anyway, I liked the CAMPER,camper! PSST! CAMPER! Also how do you write Italics in commenting?!

Very nice for running around in... bots like the bathrooms better then my brother; he was never able to find them!

Takes some getting used to, but it's getting faster and more furious all the time.

good effort!

Good show! I especially like the area with the (hidden) BFG w/grenade xplosions, by just timing everything right, i got it 8)

Do they really sell Hagg coffee? hehehe

I was wrong btw. This map plays well. Well enough to stay in my q3... (been there since dec 01).

Hm.. I'll have to be honest here.

Graphics/looks: Very nice level, I can almost imagine the amount of hours you've worked on making this level look so realistic and good. I like the poster of the "fake" ;) girl.. you know what I mean.

The street outside shows a big car though :)

I feel like a kid running around those offices, cause my shoulders hardly reach the required desktop height...

Gameplay: I don't know.. I don't feel like playing this level. I've been there before.It's not like it'll play like crap or anything like that. But I don't think there'll be any real flow.

Same thing with some city/real life levels I've played in quake3. They looked great, but had poor gameplay.

I don't think figthing in cramped spaces and rooms with obstacles in the way will increase your skill though :)

just like any normal level

you would start in q3

skirmish

pick q3x and go

Sorry but details how to start level are zero.

this level was created to make a "realistic" enviroment and has gone through several development stages.

made some hidden goodies to make it last long.

because of the narrow corridors this has requieres a totally different playstyle than most other maps, good to improve your skills & tactics, have fun y'all!

Played the Q2 version and its sweet! can't wait to try the q3 one out. :)

My guess is that you're talking about the Quake2 version of this map, dear Duckman :)

In the Q3 version it was nearly impossible to let "local" sounds fall off correctly...

Dig this map! Incredible realism, nice gimmicks and generally a lot of fun. Also especially recommended for graphic artists since it contains excellent artwork. I interpret the sounds quite differently than the reviewer above - it gives each area a distinct charachter - and adds to the realism of an office where everyone plays their favorite stuff on their stereos. I wanna see more of this artist!

I feel I have to point out that this map is based on a blueprint of a real life building, so tight areas just exist, adapt, avoid or be fragged! We play Q3 at work at certain times everyday at the office and believe me, it's a weird feeling, playing this map from inside it! As we know our way around the building extremely well, and played the map thousands of times, we are quite satisfied with the item layout since it is adapted to our wishes.
