A future-tech styled map with a consistent theme. According to the txt file it was built in a week but it is a clear demonstration of mapping skill. Game flow is great. The map seems large for duel play but it becomes clear that it has been designed with tourney in mind. The map is basically two tiered but there is plenty of height variation to keep things interesting and high speeds make for some cool jumps. The bots play well and are happy to steal away the 2 armours that are the key items of the map. All the weapons except the BFG are present and the variety of fighting environments mean that all are used and weapon switching is vital in competitive matches. One minor niggle is there is perhaps two much ammo with running out rarely being an issue.

Aesthetically the map is gorgeous. There is a nice use of curved platforms and some original textures. The lighting is perhaps a little dark. Spotlights further strengthen the theme. All topped off with a funky purple nebula skybox. FPS were >40 throughout on my celeron 500 with a bot in.

That rare combination quality layout and nice graphics.

This is a solid offering. The towers lit by red lights are vaguely reminiscent of Quake 2. Dan M's review is accurate; do download this map.

I like the size for tourney...and despite a few niggles here and there, a solid DM map from Mr. CTF :p

With the ramp trim to stairs, there is many nice ramp jumps in CPMA.

Is this really a first ffa map, as the dm1 suffix suggests? If so, congrats, and congrats anyways. The map does seem rather ginormous for tourney play, but I don't like tourney too much anyways...and this played great with 5 players in an FFA. That's the max I guess, but 3 really seems nowhere near the level's capacity. Anyways.

The look is nice and clean, if not very suggestive of the supposed lunar landing theme. Bouncepads and stairways make for good vertical connectivity, with plenty of hallways and wide open spaces in between. Connectivity between rooms on the upper levels is very limited, though this might be intended to limit access to powerful items. The weapons are made fairly even use of with the exception of the GL; putting it just a step aside from a player's path made it all but unused due to it's proximity to more popular weapons.

I really enjoyed it as an FFA, so my only complaint might be no powerups...but it was intended as tourney, so 9 from me.

Telle probably would have been a good idea

I remember seeing soem screenshots of this a while ago somewhere.

Cool layout. The map reminds of Q3DM6, partly coz of the purple-ish look, but also it flows similarly as well (no teleporters, few quite high jump pads etc).

I would have liked a teleporter near the R/L as that little area is a dead-end.

I give 8/10
