Haha! Bal, one of the communities most respected mappers just has to make like a bunch of other people and release a map that plays absolutely bad... This level looks great, as far as texturing and lighting go (always a plus Bal) But we all know for sure that this map just doesn't play well at all. It's ... keep reading

This last map by Bal is a farewell-map of his days in Q3-mapping, and furthermore is an outstanding effort, albeit his last.

An arena style tech base with a nice use of rocks to define the perimeter and exterior areas. This is a very cool DM map with great gameflow. The niggling points are the lack of clip brushes around the rocks and the overall darkness of the map. Its only a touch too dark and the dimness certainly adds to the a ... keep reading
