A remake of ztn's Quake and Quake 2 level Painkiller. A larger, wider and more open version of the original that is better suited to Quake 3 physics and weapons.

Visually the level is themed in cracked, worn, old concrete, bricks and steel. The odd burning flame and custom teleporter texture helps to add a highlight to an otherwise very tight colour scheme. This is a successful environment.

Bot play is without any real issue and can be fun. The long corridors are a bit of a death-trap against a rocket blast or clean rail shot. Item placement could have been tweaked a bit more. Two Yellows and a Red can be picked up very quickly and can lead to heavy camping in the main open space.

There is also a BFG version which is enabled by selecting Team Deathmatch from the Skirmish menu. As you may have guessed, a few BFGs are included, items are moved around and a Battle Suit has been added. This version is a lot of fun and very fast in a 4 vs 4 team match.

An enjoyable release.

Note: PainKiller RMX by RasputiN is an older, tighter remake of Painkiller.
