Something a little different from the norm, this map proposes a series of challenges through what must be described as a true masterpiece of a map. The architecture is brilliant, textures are as good as you could possibly get and the level of detail is just mind-boggling. Specially-made sounds are include ... keep reading

This map comes to us from the mapper who created Pyramid of the Magician. It is a cell shaded map, that has a look that is very original compared to others cell shaded maps. With the way that sock has set up the lighting and the shading in the map, it has a real world feel to it unlike most other maps t ... keep reading

This map is setup for CTF with the concept of wide open flag rooms. This change allows the match to be less defensive and more offensive and intense. The map structure was borrowed with permission from Nikolai 'Mr.Lake' Mohilchock's map, Evil Gemini CTF. Having never seen Evil Gemini CTF, I have no bias ... keep reading

Monolith was created by map designer Sock. The map was his entry for the Geometry Competition (2001) run by Nunuk. The competition rules limited map design to 10 textures and Monolith contains 9. I would call the motif grey gothic. Sock described it as: this map is about going mad with architecture. ... keep reading

A few quotes about this map (from Func_Msgboard). " This makes a mockery of heightmap-based terrain tools. Far Cry, UT2K4, pfft. " - BlackDog " This is excellent. The rock and soil and plant stuff looks excellent, the modelling/brushwork on them is top-notch, and the texture mix and ... keep reading

A medium sized, easy to learn CTF map based on a frozen rock/prison atmosphere... a place carved from oppressive mountains and bottomless chasm's. The basic layout is modeled after Q3DM3 however the layout has been massaged enough that you won't really be distracted by the similarities. This is a top-not ... keep reading

ChiropteraTA is a re-worked Team Arena version of Batcula. There are architectural changes from the original that improve connectivity and game play. The texture set comes from a collection of authors and is primarily an Egyptian theme. Lighting is very blue, almost identical to the original which gives the ... keep reading

An excellent map in a gothic/Egyptian hybrid style (a poor description) with game-play spread over an impressive 6 levels or so. Despite the apparent numbers of levels game play is tight, occasionally frantic and always fluid. This has been achieved by turns being tight, split levels and drop-throughs ... keep reading

A modified version of Sock's earlier release Twisted Palace of Hate with a focus on Team play games. The improvements are excellent and his Medieval texture set has never looked better. This is a great looking map with lots of roof top action and good game flow for 4on4 games. Bots navigate the whole level bu ... keep reading

A temple floating in the sky above an archipelago of islands. The custom sky box is gorgeous jumping down towards an almost full screen of turquoise sea is quite sublime. The temple architecture is well executed, texturing and lighting are spot on. The layout works really well, the connectivity is excellent a ... keep reading

A damn fine gothic styled map, well built with an aesthetic which flows well throughout the map creating a series of distinct areas. Some of the corridors could have been a little wider and the BFG could have been left out, but otherwise great for 4-8 player games, (could be good for team games as well). Bot ... keep reading
