A small, extremely fast paced tourney map designed for play with CPMA. A decent layout with a good amount of vertical play and numerous double jump opportunities. These combine to give this map a very high level of connectivity and speed. Item placement is somewhat problematic; it is quite easy to dominate the map because the two main armours (yellow) are very close together via adjacent teleporters. Even without the teleporters you can sweep YA-MH-YA in pretty quick succession. The lightning gun is placed rather precariously on a lowered platform that hovers over a deep lava pit in the central atrium of the map. Weapon knockback and splash damage really come into effect in this area, grabbing the lightning gun is a dangerous proposition if you are unsure of your opponents location. There is a player spawn directly on top of the mega health which adds a degree of randomness/luck to play and keeps the player in control of the map on their toes.

Architecture is rather simplistic and blocky, and some of the walls are very thin. The author has used a peculiar blend of the standard gothic ctf trim textures - one side of the map red, one side blue. Lighting is mostly adequate, but there are a few dark patches present. Bots seem to navigate the map fairly well and for the most part avoid both lava pits.

Definitely worth a look if CPMA tourney is your bag.

yes.. this one again focusses on gameplay and is Fun to play..

though it could look better and have more "atmosphere"... doesn't i.e -> "dismemberment" have a lot more atmosphere than this map and look great ?

meanwhile these Hardcore Mappers seem almost not look on this qualities too..

Yep, using only the steps is what I meant. :) You can also just double off the trim from the floor too, IIRC.

Rdog:p

I meant getting to mega using only steps not....steps to side trim to mega:p

Thats not hard,I do that from standstill,I was wondering if some one had just boosted on to steps at around 650 ups and landed on mega:o

It is a default model eh shib? (I know you didn't really mean the tele comment as bad, but its in some ID maps as I'm sure you and everyone else reading this knew). Where was I? Upon first entering the level I was pretty impressed; there were tons of nice tricks to be done even in vq3, suggesting all but limitless possibilities in CPMA (there were two obvious ones that could only be accomplished with rockets in vq3). Looks are average for this sort of map, with the classic Quake (as in the normal adjective classic used to describe the teleporters, not the Quake game they came from, so as to avoid any silly "It's just called Quake!" replies) teleporters and un-polished gothic look.

Unpolished isn't an insult there, just these mappers focus more on play than looks. The bots were rather retarded, making use of scarce any vertical connectivity. The MH seemed a bit funny; why have a place to walk right up next to it down below? Felt like there should be a big red X there as a part of tutorials on rocket jumping. The tele bouncepad lets you go through it from below and bounce as normal, a nice touch for fancy escapes. All weapons get used fairly well though the RG might be underpowered. There is little reason to spend time near the lava when the YA is not spawned/ing, and it takes up a fair chunk of ground space.

So it was perfectly good, but the bots were sort of moronic...there were lots of nice jumps...it looked ok...the walls all felt really thing...in my mind, it works out to a 7.

hey hey, nice review rdog. And nice map too. I remember helping beta test this one in the LVL beta area a LONG time ago. If the item placement would have been tweaked on this map, then IMO this would be a VERY good map as far as gameplay goes. Its good now, just needs better item placement, and maybe a few other things.
