if i instead rated this map today, i would not have rated it so favorably

Guitarman, it's all opinion.

I'm wondering does the author know other things like 90-angle blocks?

dudephat, good for Rust7 that you reviewed this map... I was going to submit a not-so-positive review. You make it look like a great map but it is barely an average release.
Game flow is good, except for the water parts, which slow you down.

I would have left the Quad out of it.

A map for those "who cares about the visuals? I want to fraaaaaaagg!" players who want a few quick matches. That's all.
