An entry into the Leveldesign.nl 20 Brush Contest Volume 1, Starforce is a small gauntlet-only space arena. The layout consists purely of a star-shaped platform and a void. All bullets are removed from players upon spawning to keep gameplay purely down to gauntlet usage. The most interesting aspect o ... keep reading

Iron Hive is a mid-sized FFA map, somewhat reminiscent of Space Chamber (q3dm18), by being a large, pillared structure floating in a void. It boasts a coherent and rather detailed visual theme with dominant gray and green color tones. The graphics are the strongest feature of the map - even the bottom par ... keep reading

Octagonal Overdose (map-13octo) is an amazing map from sst13. The E8 texture set by Evil Lair is used very well and the architecture of the map is perfectly designed. The lighting is at the right level, it is combined well with the textures to clearly mark which base you are in and creates the theme and ... keep reading

This CTF release is based on the Campgrounds II. Contrary to an older well known q3dm6 CTFmap by Joh@nson, this one has been connected over the pillars. Now, the flag spots find themselves at the red armor spawn points. Version 2 of q3dm6 has mainly an effect on the power-ups. You will not find any specia ... keep reading

As the name suggests, this is a FFA map with a very simple layout inspired by the great Doom II level 'Dead Simple' (MAP07). The outer ring is a height level above the center of the map and allows for some basic vertical action, it is easily accessible via jumppads and teleporters though. The author col ... keep reading

A very nice DM map with some cool eye candy, in that typical gothic style that id Software used in the default maps so many times. The author, sst13 managed to upgrade this style with some very well done architecture and texturing. The centerpiece is obviously the convincing lava-fall in the map's centra ... keep reading

sst13 has a thing for putting a CTF spin on a lot of the stock FFA/Tourney maps. A Place of Many Deaths (a.k.a. "q3dm4") is the target this time around, and the finished CTF product does a great job showing the author's experience in this field of level design. Structurally very little has changed, so th ... keep reading

A space CTF release, suited for 3 or 4 players per side but a 2 vs 2 can also be a lot of fun. Often with space CTF levels you can see the entire level all the time. With Dreamscape however there is an under path as well as the common ground. You can re-connect with the common ground from the underneath s ... keep reading

Hangar Base is a vertical map on three interconnected floors surrounding a pit. Windows on the middle and upper levels allow for some sneaky frags when the opportunity arises. The texturing and architecture are praiseworthy, the author having done an excellent job on both in a cleanly constructed map. T ... keep reading

A good looking map that extends the original Q3 Proving Grounds map with mirrored sides for team player support. The author has made good use multi-layered connections between both sides. Each team has a very easy to spot red/blue theme so you never wonder who's base you are in. Weapons are scattered arou ... keep reading

This map is a series of floating pillars, linked by jumppads and bouncers. The map is built with simplistic brushes and textures, and uses some kind of graphics reduction mod that I'm not familiar with. The looks of the map and the gameplay style are completely different from normal quake 3 maps, and they ... keep reading

Again, a very extraordinary map from sst13. The gameplay takes place is a cellshaded cube of connected plates, floating through some sort of canal with other cubes. There are no items in this map, but you spawn with the Rocketlauncher, Quad and the Battlesuit. The Quad and Battlesuit do not have timeout ... keep reading

This is another CTF remake of a Q3A map, just like The Proving Grounds CTF, but this time it is Arena Gate (Q3DM1). Also there is not much more to say about this map. The brushwork and textures have the original style, and the same also applies to the gameplay. Bots play throughout well. People who exp ... keep reading

A small sized CTF/Proball map, in a nice Comic-style. It consists out of some little rocks/islands which are floating in the sky. Due to the Celshading look the textures are all flat-shaded, nevertheless the map looks very interesting, at least also because the exceptionally setting, nice architecture a ... keep reading

As the name already suggests this map is a CTF Remake of Q3Tourney2 - The Proving Grounds. Thereby there is not much to say about this map, brushwork and textures have the original id style, the same also applies to the gameplay. The only things really worth mentioning is that it has slightly better sha ... keep reading

Claustrophobic Edge by sst13 is a small Quake 1 styled tourney map, which was made for the 1024-Quake3-Revival-Contest. Some of you might find it's layout quite familiar, as thefury submitted a map called suboptimal a while back which was a remake of this map with more promode aspects added to it with a ... keep reading

The choice of textures is alright, the custom music brings me back to Nintendo days, and the lighting is OK. The rest of the map is very pointless as the only weapon is a grenade launcher and every time a grenade hits the ground it triggers three or four other explosions making this map unable make a good ... keep reading

This level is a pretty cool idea. I always wondered what it would be like to take the sample q3dm1 map from the map editor installation and make it a CTF map. That seems to be exactly what sst13 has done! It's a pretty cool little map. But you didn't make it, ID did. 5/10. Reviewed by {BFG20K} Tig ... keep reading

OK, the map has a few little improvements but overall, the original The Vast and the Furious still played very well and didn't need to be touched. As far as the changes go, they are minor. Play it if you like Bub's original with changes. 5/10. Reviewed by BFG20K ... keep reading

Once again an original map that is killer! OK, the gameplay revolves around space platforms, but they can't be seen by one another. There's a dark fog that encompasses the entire space so you can't just rail that jackass on the other side of the map with the railgun. The gameplay could have benefited from ... keep reading

Look up, look down, and look all around. This interesting piece of mapping has been done very well. The textures suit each other vigilantly, as with the lighting - both done very consistently. The gameplay could use some tweaking seeing as it was pretty difficult to find ammo for the guns in the level. Al ... keep reading

The author demonstrates a flare for the darker side of interior design, incorporating black marble textures and towering columns in to an eye pleasing cathedral motif. The grey veins running through the walls also lend themselves well to the invisibility pickup hovering just a rocket jump away in the cent ... keep reading

A dark, symmetrical map with a beautiful combination of purple and black that features a gothic theme. What drew my interest is the creepy Odium statue of one who holds a supreme tribunal of this small, simple arena. The original music enhances the dark mood. With bots, this is rather a fast-paced game and ... keep reading

Three levels of squared paths all around one bounce pad in the space. A one-minute built map that failed to even keep me for one minute. Do not download this one. Reviewed by DJ(KURWA) Tigs notes: This level was constructed for the chaosquake.de 20 brush comp, which will explain the very limited ... keep reading

A remake of the classic Quake map DM1, Place of Two Deaths. This map has an identical layout, but the author has added lots of extra details and decorations to the visual side of things to bring it bang up to date, including greenery and even outdoor parts. Weapons similar to the original, except the RL ... keep reading
