A beautiful large citadel set amidst an alpine panorama. The mid morning winter light, crisp shadows, bitter wind and good detailing create an extraordinary sense of ambience.
The map uses a classic architectural style with lots of marble floors, columns, and twining vines outside. Jumping around on the roof tops is very cool, something not often used in levels.
Unsurprisingly, the framerate bites in parts, and some areas are overly dark but overall its not too bad. Bot play is good.
Well worth grabbing, but best for larger LAN games (8+ players).
