The pack consists of 13 maps. With the exception of 2, they are all space maps. The maps are not overly large and for the most part use standard Q3A textures with a few custom features included to spice things up. The maps play just fine. People with low end systems will not run into any problems playing ... keep reading

All of these levels have some kick to them. They range from 7/10, to 10/10, and I will describe why I gave the preceding scores for the maps in each map description. Map# 1: A Man Called Sun by Lukin This map is a small/medium sized tourney map. The gameplay is fast but can become quite monotonous due ... keep reading

WTF-Q3A acts like a modification, but is implemented into conventional maps, so no extra files are required. This means you just have to run the maps in the CTF (Capture The Flag) game type for it to work. WTF-Q3A is a special version of CTF where you have two flags per base and only one weapon assigned, p ... keep reading

Into The Abyss (Water) by StormShadow (FFA/TDM 4-8, BGMP5): The level is basically an underwater base. The textures work great with the theme. Connectivity and item placement is very good.

ThermalTruttleMappor by Fusion - (FFA 2/5 Players): Readme states this was made in 5 hours and is crappy. Considering the build time this map is ok for a quick frag, I loved the outside area looking as if it had been carved from the rock itself, bot play is ok, RG/LG rules. Basically Gothic by Grudge ( ... keep reading

This map was constructed in a unique way - from the readme: This is a collaborative effort from a NUMBER of Q3W mappers. Each mapper had a set amount of time to do a section of the level, and then would pass it on to the next person. As you can imagine, this got quite ugly after 15+ people who all had d ... keep reading

For this particular portion of the competition, level designers were expected to work with a particular layout and to design the visuals without affecting the game play.

This collection of 18 CTF maps plus 3 "pro" remixes are notable in that players only spawn with one particular weapon for the given map and with maximum ammo.
