A Team Arena level that features two strongholds joined by an L shaped, pond filled plaza, overlooked by statue-lined promenades. The map is beautifully lit, but not good enough to outweigh the bad game play.

Weapon placement makes the player move about the map. But each weapon, except for the rocket launcher, has two ammo boxes right next to its weapons respawn. This promotes a grab and camp mentality. The ponds that cover the plaza are filled with deadly acid that render the tunnels almost useless. This leaves each flag room with one easy to defend entrance.

The level features all modes of play, but each has its own problems. Both The Harvester, and Single Flag CTF are poised on a too small platform over a toxic pond that is reachable by a jump pad that requires air control. Skulls popping out of the Harvester are frequently seen falling into the toxic goo. CTF and Overload play is stopped cold by camping in the single entrance and fragging players as they round the corner.

Bots play the level fine and with aggression. They move about the map with no problems.

Pretty eye candy, but it will not stay on your hard drive long.

Kell obviously didnt play this map very long *cough cough*

There are actually 3 battle suits, which make the slime perfectly accceptable. (except in harvester.) There is one inside each base, allowing you to reach the Common Ground (neutral area / whatever u call it) through the tunnels, and there is another battle suit at the centre of the map allowing you to reach the quad which is at the bottom of a slime pit, and then proceed into the heart of the enemy base, staying submerged in slime the entire time. It's a very good concept, and the price you pay for the safety of this route is that by the time u get into the enemy base, you have little (if any) battle suit and quad left. more about the powerups down below.

This map really isnt all that fun, but it's great with the excessive mod! Also, the fact that in the centre of the map every few minutes you can find a quad, battlesuit, haste, and regen/flight/invis, kind of unbalances gameplay (once again, in excessive this isn't as much of an advantage since all the weapons are supercharged, altho one man with a Quad/haste/battlesuit/invis combo is kinda hard to stop. h3h3 ...)

7.8 / 10

Good concepts, not realized as well as they could have been. And the fact that this guy plagiarized one of the iD sample maps that comes with Radiant to make the facades for his bases isnt exactly inspiring either.

Haven´t downloaded the map yet, but wouldn´t it be better if BernyeBoy just replaces the slime with water and re-release the map? :)

Too bad, it sounds like it could be good...but that harvester bug, ouch. I guess he didn't really design it with that in mind. Is there a battlesuit in the level? That might help explain the tunnels.
