Looks like a spooky beach.

Good map. Looking at the screen shot, I thought it was ship-to-land combat. Apparently not. The actual water is really a big tidal pool cutting through the middle of the map in which sea life swims through! Ah the nice Tropics! I just love Turquoise waters. Don't you? Nice atmosphere. A nice vacation from the original maps. BTW Crocodiles don't hurt you. When I used cheats to get in the pen I coun't budge. I wasn't taking damage.

hey fragalot, have u heard about phong shading? The rocks are waaay edged. Still the design is very nice :D Duh.

love this one, great laugh, every time :)

Great map, where are the pirates!!

chrisq - actually, I did this before the speedmap contest whish is why I had all those models available.

I designed the map to be tight with minimum weapons. I prefer the gauntlet and this map is ideal for that. Personal taste.

" ... bloody sharks" he cried as he fell....

Yes a great map, and worth your download time. Initially the pic caught my eye and then the sharks got me... Love 'em so.

Yes it is 'tight' but still good fun to play with a few bots. Yes (next time, maybe) on small involved maps consider decreasing weapon spawn times please.. Love the custom models, yes the birds..

Perfect map to play when you can only squeeze in a few minutes of play time. The frantic pace is actually a plus, makes it exciting.

Looks really nice but plays like crap. 30 second timers on rl and pg were a mistake. Half the time im waiting for a wep to spawn. Also bots are way too predictible on this map. They always enter teh base on the ground level and exit on the high level.

Looks really nice, if the mapper put more effort into it, he could have created a great map.

I don't think i hate these map.

cool theme. A fun romp for CTF. The sharks got me a few times though...

forget it. i found file name.it caught my eye after a few more baseq3 searches. it's cool. i say 10 for creativity and 7 for game play.

what do u type to start it up. its in there but don't show up . i have an overload of rooms so i have to type in alot

Gimme a deckchair, an airport novel and a pina colada. Better give me a rocket launcher also cause of them sharks. What the hell are all those people doing with them guns and them flags?

It's a different kind of CTF gameplay than you get on most CTF maps - probably less strategic, definitely more frantic. It's pace is more like basketball than football. It's fast and furious fun.

fragalot: good to see someone turn their speedmap into something nice heh

any chance of a TA version?

I'm not sure how I feel. The theme is amazingly well achieved, makes me wish I could plop on a lounge chair, sip some iced tea, and feed da sharkies. But at the same time, cramped fighting dominates this map-which I don't enjoy. If you don't mind this, you'll undoubtedly enjoy this puppy.

Aye, forgot to voite b4. Thought the messageboard read minds :p

hmmm - only an 8.

(The readme does state that it's meant for 3 players/team.)

Thee shareks they are dire . . .. Shall I food them? :p

Fun map, tho for me the fun is based mmore in the bases, more than, I like. Great map visually, tho, and good fun with sonme Q3 friends, however.

I give it an 8.
