I have been playing this map for 20 years and I still love it. When I gather with friends for some LAN fragging, this is one of the maps we always play.
Thx Xzed for such a great piece of fun

Apple changes cpu architectures again and one of the first things I wanted to find is if I could play Q3A… and I can!!!
After that I had to look for my favorite maps, and this is one of my top 10. I love this map.
Thx Xzed for creating it.

Wow! This map looks amazing and plays very good but has a few lagging issues but will work fine when I type com_hunkmegs in the console. Has to be one of the best room based maps I played but ENTE beats you on this :P.

Yes, setting the com_hunkmegs value higher might be the trick, but make sure you don't set it past 1/4 of the amount of ram you actually have installed.

Place the PK3 file into your baseq3 folder.
Start Quake 3 and select the skirmish menu option.
Browse until you find the map you wanted.

NOTES: Some maps will not appear unless you select the correct game mode. Some older maps will not appear at all and you will need to use the console method.

How do you install maps in quake 3, it never works when I put it in baseq3.

When i put /map "name of map" in the console the game crshes with an error report. This happens with all maps, do I need a mod or something?

Just looking in the .pk3 file theres some 'PlanetQuake' screens, can you make them come up on the monitor?? Just wondering, i've shot everything that looks like a button.

This map is truly inspired, i cant believe the amount of work that must have gone into it. Only problem - the BFG only comes with 10 shots (good that it cant rule the map) but it runs out so quick :-(

I'm writing this a year and a half after this maps release and I just played it for the first time. This map is truly creative and just downright fun. I can't add an additional agreeable comment that hasn't already been said.

It runs fast and smooth on my rig. Too bad there's so many whiners complaining about this and that. I realize it's a year and a half later and I'm using a GeForce these days. Regardless, respect should be paid, for the creativity, time and effort put forth by such a mapper as Xzed. Truly a great work! This map will be a part of my permanent collection.

Thanks Xzed!!

Fantastic! In one word! Fantastic! Finally had the chance to play this map. Althought it weighs heavy on the system, it doesn't kill the map.

The map is damn original and one of a kind! LIke the mousetraps, shafts, the picture(!!!!!!!!!), the lighting great job on that one...

Gameplay was fun. Bots however aren't covering THE whole level (such as the picture) but who cares, they cover most and if i want, i can sneak up to the railgun and quad :) hehe

Bfg is very well placed in the map!

4 players? well maybe, but i'm sure if you're one of those lucky bastards with a superheavy system, you can play this baby with 16 or 32 :) utter madness i love it.

Runtfest is fantastic.

I give it a 9 :) what the hell it's my opinion a 10!

this is the best map ever!tons of places to explore..great attention to detail..loved the Helnwein picture alternate universe...I have that same picture hanging over me right now!He's one of my favorite artists! For those of you who don't know the picture is called NightHawks. Helnwein also did the cover of the Scorpion's Blackout Album.

This map is nice change of pace from all the gothic dungeon shit.don't get me wrong I love those maps but they are starting to get old...anyway my 2 cents...

hopefully Xzed plans on doing more maps.

Just download it.

Congratulations Xzed. One of THE most impressive maps I've ever seen! It almost feels ilegal that its a free download L

This map, by far, is the most original and coolest map i've played for Q3A so far. It certainly stands out from all the gothic and uninspired maps out there that might as well be carbon copies of each other. The amount of detail, the creativity in the design (Love the open PC... and the drawers! The drawers kick ass!), and the sheer amount of places to explore in this level just make it a gem that will always have a place on my hard drive.

i think the playability takes a hit because of the openness of the level, but with the level style i don't think there's much of a way to avoid that. As it is i think the author did i good job at trying to add as many smaller places as possible. i mean, from looking at it, you'd think "okay, big open room" but then when you get down to exploring, you can go behind every piece of furniture, into every cupboard, behind the books, in the drawers, climb on every shelf, and take a trip through the air vents for good measure.

Overall, i give this map a 9. The one suggestion i have is this: BUGS! Hey, i can believe you keep your room REAL clean and all, but how do you get every last dead fly out from behind those desks? Don't you think it'd kick ass if you were running into one of those deep, dark corners and jumped halfway out of your chair when suddenly you were staring at a gigantic fly laying on its back with its legs crossed across its chest? And what about the air ducts?? Man, you have the cleanest vents in the world! That's the ONLY part of the level that in my opinion sucked. They're all shiny boxes with no detail. Where's the bread crumbs? The dead rat? The G.I. Joe that you lost 5 years ago and could never find?

Okay, fine, one more suggestion. Ambient noise. The level's begging for it. The speakers should make a low hum (that should sound larger for their size), the computer fan should be heard, when in the vents, you should hear the light breeze passing through them. (Remember, these guys are tiny. Little sounds become BIG sounds) And the fish tank... The giant fish were FANTASTIC, but it would have completed the illusion if you could hear the sound of the bubbles and the hum of the lamp.

Other than those two points, this level ROCKS! If you haven't already, download it NOW!

shhhh.

once your're inside the picture, you can rocket jump all kinds of places like on top of the short building and also into the far right window of the far building. From there you can rocket jump to the thin top wall of that building. If you find the missing texture, you're in the right spot!

Im sorry it'll not get any better with me..

winkrushr..dude..are WE all playing with a system that heavy? are we living in impyland?

SOrry to dissapoint you man, but some of "we" are playing with a p3 500 mhz, and oooooooooooooooooooonly 128 ram and heck a voodoo banshee. But in my right mind, i'm gonna buy a geforce 256 ddr. Cause banshee really sucks...

So "we" are not all the same. I guess. "we" play on different systems. But I can say...not "we"...that quake arena still flows on my system. Ok so i cant get 16 bots in a small map...whatever. Quake plays solid, I don't have th best fps and so on...i do understand what i am talking about..

and oh yeah i forgot to mention!

I PLAY ON A 17 INCH SCREEEEEN!

what a world what a world

well we're not all loaded..

joking. afcourse there is the possibility called upgrading, but in most cases, it's expensive. And yes i do work, but it would be silly to put most money in the machine.

Quake arena is running fine on my slow system, winkrushr..sorry to dissapoint ya ;)

What about doom anyway..that was like a lite featherweight haahahhahahahha! compared to quake arena...ho boy

fabulous map..more fun than i thought possible...wide open, but tight at the same time.

sooo..everyone quit your whining about it...its fully functional as a deathmatch map, requiring new skills to be attained for maximum pleasure. Sure, wimpy little purists will whine about " camping", and other misc. crap, but the fact is, sniping and "camping" are strategic attacks, requiring skill to perform and defend. Besides, ther really arent a lot of camping spots available on this map...unless you quietly sneak around....SHHHHH!!!!

This map rocks. Its a huge file but who cares. It didnt work at first but then i got that point release thing and it rocks. As for the cpu speed that everyone is talking about. i can play eight bots, 600 x 800 resolution, 32 bit graphics quality perfectly fine on a PII, 366 MHz computer. It just depends mostly on your graphics settings. How do you get the BFG by the way? Sure, I can get it with the grappling hook no problem, but how do you get it normally? Anyway kick-ass map. A definite 10!

I downloaded this map believing it to be like my most favourite HL map ever Rats ( right on, Storme Dude ), but a few things really spoiled it for me -

Missing textures

a missing polygon in the cafe ( turn around when you enter , its above the window )

Perhaps Xzed will come to his senses and release another version? I sure hope so.

Oh, and the jump into the picture was a bit crappy and superflous. the bots never use it and theres always someone camping there. Play with Coliseum for more fun.

Get PointRelease, K? If not, make sure you have your latest vid drivers. Thassa major problem, too.

For all of the "lil' whinies" out there complaining about the PII400s w/64 MB RAM, c'mon, jeez! Didn't you get a little more RAM for your Cyrix90 when DOOMII came out? Just head out to www.sharkyextreme.com/ for a little info on the hardware scene. No, I don't work for them, but it's a great site, along with windrivers.com. They have way cool review, etc. Just get another mboard, processor, and a little ram. when you get the skins, grab a GeForce and hit the map again. You'll be glad you did.

This map rox on my lan. Granted, we're all playing with PIII600-733s w/256MB+, but that's my I love a State job. This map is beautiful on a flat 21" monitor.

Moral of the story: Get a cool job in which you control the lan and work overtime. Can anyone say InstaFrag until 3am???

amazing and original...
i found myself running around for about one hour exploring and absorbing everything...
open the cd-rom drive to find exact replica of q3 cd inside...
jump on the stapler to jump into the picture...
there are only two things that didnt work out too well:

  1. the windows in the diner are transparent only from the inside.
  1. the fish in the tank can crash you right after you teleport from the phone booth.
but after all...AWESOME MAP!!!

excerpt:
/
This map is beutiful, yes. But playable? No way! This maps just has too much eyecandy.
/

Too much eyecandy? in quake3? seen q3dm0 yet?

/
yes, my comp is getting a little old but this map is half as fast as most of the other ones. And you can't even add any bots. In order for it to be playable I could only add 2 bots but then the map was too big to play at all.
snip out ...but come on! How can anyone play this with any less than 128 RAM and a GeForce?
/

you mean, if you have a pc that's a p-200 with like 64 mb and say oh a voodoo2 w/ 12 mb (just one card) it's not that playable, really?

did you read the recommended syspecs for quake3?

I've got a athlon 500 with a tnt2u and 196 mb of ram and it STILL drops frames when you hit the full views. that because this map is fragging huge and that is what makes it special. 's no use crying about it, own up and buy a Pc instead. (maybe dont buy booxe for nine weeks... worked for me :)

my fps stays nicely near the 30 mark... no probs, eh?

Ps crybabies about the 22mb should think about getting that 2GB harddisk replaced by a 40 Gig version.. you're all way out of touch here guys. (22 mb is only 1% of a 2gb disc anyway, and everyone has a 20 gb or more, so what the f* hell are they crying about?)

It’s a large map so the more people the more fun it will be. A lot of detail went into it so definitely explore around before you play.

Unfortunately bots get stuck above the red armor, and I just wish there was more rail ammo around.

But all in all, a great map.

Cute map!!! It gives you feeling of being so small. I have never seen something similar. The map is as great as I can't imaging before. The only problems are large size (it's .pk3 = 22 Mb), and lower FPS cause it's huge.

To Brimmie

  1. you sure have enough ram ;)
  1. You did install the latest point release? or at least version 1.16n, which is about 8.5 megs Go get it and install it if you haven't.
  1. DO you have enough free memory??? :o cuz runtfest is quite large...
I think it's the point release

Everything else should be fine.

framerate aside, the painting on the wall could've been done with a portal, so you'd see the little guys running around inside...

PS doesn't anyone read the other comments before posting their own?

i had this map before - too freakin laggy. Perhaps they could release a version that is less detailed or something. I just cant put up with lag for very long and i have a good computer so no need for lag. Still original idea but i cant run it very well. ( Besides 22MB unzipped is a bit much.)

Here's an idea for Xzed. Players are supersmall and they fight inside a LAN network, they battlefield is mostly vertical and the PC's are connected by ethernet wires. (tunnels). Well It's not much of an idea know but someone will turn it into a kickass map soon!

I love the gameplay on this map, and I'll tell you why- visibility is a factor in play. If you stand where everyone can see you, everyone will shoot at you.

This is the only map i know where it makes sense to stop and look before you go rushing into the open.

I just finished reading all of the comments posted by other players (the good and the bad critiques) while waiting for the map to download.

Everyone seems to have put their fair share of thought into the below comments and I can't wait to actually play the map (hopefully very playable with a PIII 550 and TNT2) :)

I'm giving it a ten just for the novelty of it and I love weird maps like this, it keeps great games interesting.

-Reminds me of one miniturized section of the Half-Life custom level USS Darkstar (great map, found on many PC Gamer CD's), anyone who has played through that map knows exactly what I'm talking about.

To help put the UT and Q3A debate to a close: their both great games, each with a different feel, and both have a place on my hardrive.

Amazing map, I have never seen ANYTHING like it on any game. I love the idea, though. Gameplay was good, but it is hard on my TNT card, framerates were rather low. Guess I'll have an excuse to get a new one, heh. Much kudos to Xzed. Keep em comin, man. ;)

Everyone in my LAN agrees, this is the best map we've ever played. The flow is genius. Jumping off of the stapler into the painting, grabbing the rail in the shop, and then passing through the phone booth into the tank, avoiding the fish and having only 5 seconds to get the BFG... Then no BFG amo anywhere else! And if you get a good momentum, you end up on the top closet shelf for the Quad. Beautiful.

This level got me back into playing Q3 for the moment. It adds a lot of life to the fragfests. I do wish something had been done about the keyboard however. It is pretty fugly and eats up quite a few fps. Nice to see a map that if we could smell it, it wouldn't smell like shit. Translation: Fun-filled, detailed, original map. Great work.

Playability on older machines is the only reason I take off a point and give 9 instead of 10. If your system is up to snuff then this plays very well on several of levels. The opportunities for sniping are obvious and if you're not much but a rocket flinger or pellet pusher there are still good areas to catch players with splash or buckshot. It can even get hairy down in the ductwork when players low on ammo and health have dropped down to nurse their wounds. My first time playing this map had more than a couple of machinegun and/or gauntlet battles over the precious health orbs and armor shards.

For even more fun with this excellent map, try various mods. Anything with a grapple should be great and Excessive is a blast. For those who hate the long rocket shots across the room, try it when you can let about a dozen a second fly - You can do some literal carpet bombing!

Sure the concept isn't new (Half-Life Rats kitchen and bathroom maps for example), but it is rare, refreshing, and, in this case, very expertly done and beautifuly rendered with the bounus of offering fighting ground for various player types. Two thumbs up and four stars to Xzed. Bravo! & Encore! :-)

An absolute visual masterpiece. The build quality is well above average and the new graphics really make you 'feel' as though you're about 3-inches high. Playability is not standard but is devilishly well executed and offers a welcome break from all the 1v1 maps that've been released. I give this map a 9. Ouch!

Huh?! What's wrong with you people. This map is beutiful, yes. But playable? No way! This maps just has too much eyecandy. yes, my comp is getting a little old but this map is half as fast as most of the other ones. And you can't even add any bots. In order for it to be playable I could only add 2 bots but then the map was too big to play at all. This is just a gimmick map. Albeit a good one that took a lot of effort but come on! How can anyone play this with any less than 128 RAM and a GeForce? There's just too much eyecandy for gameplay. i gave this a 7.

This is one of those maps you will either Love or Hate it looks like for alot of people but I personally think there is something for everyone as long as you have enough participants. Yes the theme has been done before but not this well! And how can anyone knock this theme, it hasn't been done nearly as much as the goth/space themes? I just don't understand some people? This map is a must play!

To mike007: you're right. quake

arena textures are beautiful; and ut also. :)

To scampy: let's just say xzed his map and the id maps have amazing textures ok? it's just 2 different "worlds" ;)

Now me: since i am a messed up gamer who likes nothing more than to grab the rocket launcher and plunge myself into a group of other gamers and here by killing myself but getting lostafrags hehehe i say this map is a classic. And to be honest ( no i really am xzed) i once had the idea to built a small garden in quake or quake2 but make it also that the player was scaled ( im a fan of large maps, but not always in deathmatch...i prefer in your face dm arenas with gallons of rubbing alcohol flowing down the strip :B

I wonder what other people will create in the future with the fantastic quake arena engine.

And i didn't know that y'all could build a level that big in quake arena. Quite frankly i was startled when i saw it's size oh my bloody hell :)

It makes me want to back to the old huge doom levels..Yeah those were big fuckers!

Keep on the good work xzed and please..don't build your bathroom as a next level ;)

5//337!!! Very nicely done - missing textures and all. There were also a few shader errors but they should be fixable with just a text editor.

Gameplay - what are you losers yapping about??? It oozes gameplay by the pusload!! (Yes, I meant to say that!) There are so many different opportunities in this level - having played it against one other guy and 4 bots, and been involved with Railgun sniping, rocket duels, punchups, sitting on the Grenade Launcher on the top shelf with the Quad Damage and just plugging, and even prowling the shadows for unsuspecting victims. This map is awesome!

Loved Nighthawks (even though I didn't know the name, just the pic!), the chair, the CD drawer (and what was in it - priorities!!), the fishtank/BFG10k, the Playboy (heh!) the mousetraps, that faulty power outlet (nice touch!). Now I'm going to try playing it with my Open Source mod - Lightning Discharge into the fishtank...hehehe!!!

When I first spawned, I thought (since i didn't read the text that describes the map) that I was somewhere in a lobby of a house. But then I realised that I was just a small figure there. Nice work, Xzed! And hey! I found a "secret" area in your map! Players, jump on the desk and go to the place visible in the screenshot. See that black little thingy? Jump on it and it will take you in the picture which is actually a teleport. It will teleport you in a street which is shown in the picture. Very original. That was all really nice, but gameplay has gone for vacation. But what the hell?! I'll just give it a 9.

A beautiful map! It combines amazing architecture with some good puzzles... (How the !$#% do I get to the BFG!). It takes a while but it'll come to you sooner or later. The textures make the whole thing come together into a tightly wrapped package. I didn't see any trouble spots anywhere at all on this map. The only thing is that some things are a bit unconventional. You have to find the path. The bots work very well with this map. They loved the top of the desk and the bookshelf adjoining. They used the air ducts a moderate amount, which is good. Also, they made proper use of the chair (it took me a while). They did have a problem, however, with the stapler and the near empty box of "Power-Ups!". My only problem with the whole and entire map was that it crashed my system the first go round. It started out a bit jumpy and I, being the fool that I am, ignored it. My problem was that I didn't give it a chance to smooth out. If it gives you this problem, just find a hidin' place and give it a few seconds. This map is overall deserving of a 9.5, but I can't give it that, so it gets a 10.

Definitely a must-have. Reminiscent of my previous favorite novelty level, rats for Half-Life (which took place in a kitchen). The placement of the rail is superb. Nice timing of the flight power-up, if you're careful you can get the BFG and land not too far from the Quad. The trick with the painting is my favorite thing, very Hofstadterian, through-the-looking-glass idea. How about doing a map that's a museum that lets you get into other famous paintings the same way? How about an Escher gallery? :)

Whether against bots or online, the gameplay is great. More from Xzed please!

I put this map off for a while cause of its dload size. I have to say that Everything seems to be scaled well. I pity the person who has to clean the rug!!! 8/10 game play is pretty good. Nice touch with the flight timing to get to the bfg! Really makes you work to get it. A first map..Xzed has good ideas.

And to everyone who keeps arguing about UT and Quake textures:

Q3 textures are more detailed and bigger.

UT are smaller and very different. The lighting is what makes people think UT graphics better.

There!! I like both games so get off the "what game is better" deal that has been around for a long time. Move on.

Ok this map rocks. Make more Xzed!!

I can't take anything away from the map artistically. The "Night Hawks" gag was a mind blower, especially. I just prefer high-octane slugfests and this map doesn't flow that way. Either I have to take a cab to get to the action or fill it up w/ players and lag out. Otherwise, it's just rail city and not my bag.

Wow! thanks for the great feedback! Glad to see so may people are enjoying it.

Since this is my first map, It may be worth mentioning that the concept was to see if a "real world" design could be made playable.) Hopefully it may even support of a range of gaming styles - from sniping and camping in the book shelves to toe2toe gauntlet matches on the carpet, and whatever fall in between.

I humbly apologize for the missing missing textures (I'll just go sit in the corner and hit myelf with a blunt object - doh.)

P.S. i dont know how many of you get the umping into the picture thing, but my dad has that painting and when i was walking around inside i was just like, "whoa, thats cool"

Id textures are boring?

:( And I guess you can do a better job hey mister know it all? Damn I really enjoy looking at the beauty of the quake arena gothic and tech maps: for example; deva station is one of the most beautiful id maps i've ever seen and believe me when I say that I 've seen them all :)

Yeah ok runtfest has very unique and pretty textures and the lighting is fabulous. I'd be one dumb shit to say otherwise. But please don't say id used ugly or sucky textures for quake arena! Quake had a few ugly textures: the base textures!! They just don't fit well.

But ok something new is always great...untill it gets old ;)

( I hate it when people rate add-on maps and think they're not that good 'cause the author used id textures...)

I hope y'all understood what I was trying to say here ;)

Oh yeah one more thing not entered...you're kinda missed up right? First you say quake arena textures are way better then ut textures...and then you say they suck? hm :)

I played the beta version of it, and I had already come to the conclusion that the visuals are stunning! Unfortunatly, the large open area is a gameplay killer :(. The map is full of neat gadgets and I think it's a great map, so I ran off to d/l the final version with the .aas file included, and to my surprise, that's where the gameplay excells: against stoopid bots! Let me explain: this is THE map I load each time I want a quick lil' game of Quake... it's so much fun to pick off GI-Joe looking bots from a distance, and if you are bored of just sitting on your ledge, you can also jump into the action and wipe them out with your RL! It's all up to you! You decide what kind of style of play you're in the mood for, and just adjust... I love it.

Excellent map. Neat idea. Great execution. This map will be a great map when next i have a lan. Well worth the wait.

Piranah - Get the BFG from the flight powerup in the fish tank.

Missing textures - i'm hoping for a second pak file.

This map is just plain fun with a bunch of people. Load up a mod with the grapple and it gets 10 times better. Yes, it is huge but still incredibly fun.

A great map for lans, just finished a 15 hour Q3 lan where this map and the aqua mod dominated. 5 humans and 4 bots is just right for this map, and this map with aqua is just insane. I give it a score of nine(-1 because i hate those bloody fish)

well the level looks pretty amazing. Very different from most other things. Kind of reminiscent of beyind the bookshelf for Sin. I haven't had a chance to try human opponents but bots did not play well at all, they kept dropping lower down the map into the air vents and that's where almost all the action was taking place.

Still, probably worth the download just to look around :)

The level looks ABSOLUTELYAZING! This is the most unique map I have ever seen in a game. It's such a relief from the plain grey and goth textured maps of regular Quake 3. What's the deal with id Software anyway. They need fresher textures. A lot of people rant about how much better UT's graphics are but I think Quake 3 has WAAAY better graphics. It's the just the textures that suck on Quake 3. This map, however, is abosolute eye candy!

At lunch we went from 5 min each of other maps in rotation to 60 min of this map, forgot the rest and didn't look back. This will be exclusive or in rotation for a long, long time.

-- Funtfest map ’s so very fun to play on the LAN party with a bunch of friends (girls & boys).

-- The Map has very good game flow and very playable in the Single User Mode with 6-8 bots.

-- I'm so tired and bored with all of other Gothic/Tech look a like maps. I wish all of the Map Makers would give us a break from the Gothic / Tech themes. Please, give us something like this RUNTFEST map or JAPANESE CASTLE map.

-- Thanks to Xzed to provide us with One of the Best Quake 3 Map ever done. This map is an excellent visual art and wonderful game play. I give the RUNTFEST a Big 10 & a MUST HAVE map.

Hopefully he'll release a little "patch pk3" with the missing textures.

There's also some texturing problems on curves, especially bevel caps, but other than that the map is visually superb.

It's not got gobs of traditional hardcore DM gameplay in it, but the experience of playing this map for the first time is priceless. :-) Pretty darn funny. And it's probably got quite a bit of mileage in it for "just screwing around" games. For that matter, it's also entertaining just to explore it alone for a bit. (Hmm... I wonder if there's a secret that can open that Playboy?)

Download it and have a look. Good work dude.

Now here's a well-made map. Attention to detail here is incredible. It is very immersive with its Gulliver-esque scale, and the conversion of the environment to the Quake world is well done- for example, the mouse(frag)traps- the aquarium, the chair, the ductways, etc all have a function without having to de-realize anything to "fit into" the Quake realm. The painting on the wall was done very well also. And it all flows together well, with good placement of items and structures which are easy to navigate- although it does take a while to make your way up to the quad.

My only regret here is that this map is just begging to be played at high-res with max texture detail- unfortunately I don't quite have the hardware to handle it, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying this fine work.

The beta version was a blast to play, and the finished version even more enjoyable. Goth-style maps get old really quickly, and this is a breath of fresh air.

Missing textures tho'. Apart from the already mentioned second ramp (quad), also underside of the desk (Red armor), edges on mouse jumppads, edge on last ramp (quad) and bottom of video shelf. Weird, as I didn't spot any missing tex. in the beta version. But...those are ofcouse minor details in a map that truly is brilliant.

I couldn't believe my eyes
when I saw it the first time.
I'm sure they'll be lying to me
when I'll eventually see it!
When it comes to looks, this one is incredible.
The only thing I'm having seconds
thoughts on is the gameplay.
See that's the problem with
those damn big maps :)
But hey nothing beats those supersmall nerdy boxmaps with flat texturing and all the weapons and 100000 spawnpoints right?? ;)

A work of art to be sure. Lacking in gameplay though. I prefer slugfests, and this one is WAY wide open and long range.

I would call this more a spectacular demo piece than a playable map.

Haven't played this version, played the Beta. The gameplay wasn't there - might have been fixed in this version, I don't know. The "Unfinshed" area w/ the bar is cool because it is the scene that is on the painting you jump through. Aside from that, this map is beautiful and really shows you what the Qauke 3 engine can do.

Cool map, although I cant tell if he spent more time scannig images and converting them or doing the actual design. I love the picture on the wall...jumping into it from the stapler is very cool. Cdrom, another cool idea. Lots of cool stuff. Not my favorite map though by a long shot. It does not play very fast, most of the action is shooting rockets from half way across the map. To laggy for any serious large online servers, but fun for LANS, even then lower end systems will chug. The map is a novelty if anything, but it wears thin after awhile. Not to take anything away from this guy...the map is a great work of art...then again how artistic do you have to be to mimic the realworld and scan some images in your system? I'll get flamed for this review for sure, but I'm just being honest. Good work Xzed, I just dont think it's all that original..and the gameplay lacks.

GreenThumb: I think you are write. I found 2 missing textures. One of the was on the rapm to the Quad. Other than that, it was a very enjoyable map. BFG is fairly easy to get. Undergound passages are nice, IF you are low on health. I thought there were a bit to many plasma guns though...

This map is a must have. Xzed will surely get snagged by some company for thinking outside the box. Jump on the stapler for a treat. I can't find a way to the BFG though. Have Fun!
