Map description : Two words: Nonstop action! 18 jumppads, 6 teleporters and 4 bobbing platforms. Spacemap designed for fast and furious fragging. A speedfreaks dream, but also with the railgunning sniper in mind. My first Quake 3 map. Loosely based on "The Longest Yard" (q3dm17), which is one of my favorite maps, don`t ask me why. Last time I did map editing for an id software game was Doom II. Damn that was a long time ago. Used this map as a learning experience to familiarize myself with QERadiant so don`t expect anything spectacular.
Players : 6-8 players (playable with 2-12 but best with 6-8, 8 spawnpoints)
Thanks to : id software, for the fine work on Q3A!
Special Thanks to : Strixis for her patience and putting up with me pestering her about betatesting!
