The Playground by sTiVen is literally representative of it's title if used with the CPMA Mod. Designed for 1 vs 1 FFA/Tourney, the connectivity of the map allows for a very fast game. Use of custom textures from Iikka "Fingers" Keranen's IKBase texture set, custom teleporter and jump pad models from Evil Lair, the map has a sort of Tech base feel. It has a large slime pool, with some hallways leading to openings where some good fire fights take place.

Connectivity is outstanding, with lots of double jumping spots to reach spots in which would take a lot longer to reach if used with vQ3. The map includes the SG, GL, RG, RL, LG, a MegaHealth which is easily attainable, YA and a GA(Green Armor) in CPMA. If your looking for a map with overuse in textures or high-detail, this map isn't for you, but if you're looking for a map that has great playability start the download! The only thing I found difficult with the map is the fact that it seems a tad bit dark, but if you set /r_gamma 2 it's easy to deal with. Bot play is good as the bots take advantage of using the whole map.

I'd keep an eye out for work from sTiVen in the future if CPMA is your gig=)
