A medium sized release from ShadoW, suitable for 5 to 8 player DM or Team DM matches. Visually interesting architecture, theme and atmosphere - all of which suit the map's title. While the connectivity and lighting are both good, they are not as solid as other aspects of the map. This is all in comparis ... keep reading

Another solid production by the infamous ShadoW which takes on the form of a medium-sized arena created for the Maverick Mapping Competition. The aesthetics tend to shift towards a gothic-tech fusion of sorts, with draping vines, curving staircases wherever you go and plenty of lava pits to fall into! G ... keep reading

This is an interesting map. A lot of the architecture is very similar to other maps previously submitted by ShadoW, who is no stranger here. The map itself is very well constructed and has a lot of nice detail. The main difference in this map that sets it apart from others is that there is fog all throug ... keep reading

The Dreadful Place (Q3shw24) was Pawel "Shadow" Chrapka's entry for the NoGhost Mapping Competition (held in the latter part of 2009) and while it did not place in the final prize pool it does offer some solid gameplay. The map layout consists of a large open arena traversed by 2 accelerator pads at th ... keep reading

Hipertrofia by ShadoW, a Tourney or small DM map which he made in inspiration of the recent Q3 Speedmapping events. The mappers goal was to complete a playable map in under 24 hours. He ended up making this in 14 hours. A lot of mappers these days could not make a map like this in a year. ShadoW says th ... keep reading

This map is designed for Tourney and 2vs2 TDM using promode gameplay in OSP/CPMA. It is a very vertical map with wide open areas. In a tourney match, the map is somewhat large and could have been shrunk down. If your opponent gets the RG before you, you'll have to keep your movement fast, since it is so ... keep reading

This is definitely a map which becomes addictive quickly! When I first loaded it up I played it over and over for quite a while. The map has a real world feel, with the architecture of the curves, angled walls, walkways, and sitting and bouncing spots through the upper parts of the map. There are plants t ... keep reading

Annihilation is a map with a really cold feel and is surrounded by snowy mountains. It has a real tech look to it, with steel walls, units, and powered machines which give the map a very blueish look. On the lower part of the map there is a quad which sits in the middle of blue orbs that spin around it, ... keep reading

Time to die by ShadoW is a remake of q3shw12. With all the mappers making remakes in this day and age, it's nice to see someone remaking one of their own maps into such perfection. In the original review, the reviewer said that it needed a face-lift, and it looks like ShadoW sure gave it a major one. I ... keep reading

A Team Arena Tourney and FFA map from Shadow. Lots of shinny, clean steel, unbreakable glass and concrete lines the level with large open areas over two floors to finish off the architecture. The map is well connected and fast for its size. Items are well located and make for some intense game play, but o ... keep reading

This relatively small map with many halls and rooms certainly gives me the feeling as if I'm at school. Each room features some creative structures; for instance, the stairs platforms stilled in the air. There are mostly old textures and an odd combination of colors. Green, red, blue etc ... makes me nau ... keep reading

Empty words by ShadoW is a tourney map designed for competitive play with the CPMA Mod. You won't find trickjumps to be the primary focus in this map. ShadoW states in the readme that this map was designed for fast play in cpma. The size of the map seems kind of large for a tourney map, but in ess ... keep reading

Dotyk mierci by ShadoW is a tourney map made specifically for the cpma mod. Making use of custom textures from Rorshach, the map has been givin a greenish gothic looking theme, which has been pulled off very nicely. Weapons of choice are a SG, GL, RL, LG, RG, YA(x2), and a RA. I almost felt as though t ... keep reading

The map is set in space base. The textures are used really well with lots of metal everywhere. The lighting is good. Connectivity is really good considering the size. Item placement is OK, but a little spread out. The map consists of many rooms based on 3 floors, with one large room on the main floor ... keep reading

A map that shines with excellence. I personally am not a huge fan of goth style maps, but this specific map changed my mind very quickly. The author recommends CPMA 2v2 TDM, but I believe FFA to be equally enjoyable with 4 to 12 players. The layout and item placement is well thought out. All of the weap ... keep reading

Ugly but fun to play is probably the best way to describe this map. Texturing has been wallpapered on, models float off the walls, and there is virtually no theme or mood to speak of. It looks like it was slapped together in an afternoon (2 days in fact). Apart from this, the map plays really well. It is ... keep reading
