Ok, this is my first map in any FPS based game. It took awile to give it any sort of polished look
but I hope it's at least presentable. During the making of the map I got a major reality dose on how
difficult it really is to make a NICE map and how many small details can be overlooked. I can't tell you how
many times I loaded the map and realized "Wait thats not right!". Looking at the
ID maps you can find flaws even.
Then when I get some really nice idea to add to the map I run it through R_SPEEDS and find it WAY OVER acceptable,
so I end up scratching ideas and rebuilding. At first glance it appears to be very simple looking but trust me
some of it took awile to make it work right.
After playing through the ID maps I felt a need to go back to the roots of fast paced play style.
I would like to make a line of maps that are for straight 1on1 gameplay and cater to a "IN YOUR FACE"
playstyle that brings out the skillz big time. Anyhow thank you for taking the time to look at it and please
if you have any comments or suggestions please mail me. This is really only a practice map but it seems to play
really nicely as something you can just load up and smack around a few bots on :)
All in all I think this was a good first step and I hope to create other fun maps for everyone in the the future.
Oh, for a worthwhile game play "doom" bot on nightmare skill level for testing.
Happy hunting...

I would probably not play this with music unless you have a pretty nice system because it plays slow for a bit
until the music has cycled one time. After that though all is good. It's like it needs to cache the music <shrug>
