* About *
=============================================================================
A relatively simple, square arena with four levels. Best played with 4-8 players, but supports up to tweleve (that`s a guess on my part, only tested 4-7).
This map is sort of a design philosophy thing. Sitting around the house I was thinking, I don`t see any curved surfaces, why can`t a Quake 3 map be square and blocky and still be interesting and fun to play. So what I`m saying is, yes, I do know how to make curved surfaces and yes, they are cool and special and fun to use but in this map I chose not to use them. My main goal, or should I say only goal when designing this was GAMEFLOW. If a map looks like gold but plays like crap then it just doesn`t work. In my opinion it`s harder to make a map thats fun to play then one that looks good and it`s nigh impossible to make one that`s both. So this map has all the things you`d expect in a map, like teleporters, music, jumppads, powerups, fog and tons of cheesy textures, but guess what, that`s right, no curves! So in conclusion, I hope you play this map, and enjoy playing it and maybe even keep it despite the fact that it has absolutely, not one curved surface. Oh, and did i say no curved surfaces.
