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-notch effort. The brush work is outstanding and the r_speeds are excellent averaging around 3000 in most views making it quick and playable on most systems. Game play is very good and in some ways is better than it's mentor. This is especially true of the center area which is much larger than the original. Additionally, it's a little more difficult to camp at the flag which is also a plus. My only complaint about the map (and it's a small one) is the red and blue textures get a little monotonous. A little more variety might have been nice. Weapon and item choice/placement is good overall. Bots play ok but they take the same route every time when they've captured the flag which makes defense very easy.

Download it now if you're a CTF fan!

Gonnakillya: Yeah its different to what I imagined. Been busy working on RTCW stuff and loads of fun with scripting. :P

This map is my last serious Q3 release as I don't have the time to spare anymore.

This is one of the best things I've downloaded in the past few months (and I'm counting mp3's :). As nitin said, ". I was amazed at the framerates given the awesome look."

Start your downloads people. This map is "better than id" quality.

One of my favorite mappers comes up with more
excellent work. I wasn't sure what you've been up to lately but I see it's been good.

Love the details and item placement....everything seems to be in a logical place.

Well done.

How's things as a "pro" designer? I knew you'd find work without having to move to the US.

Cheers.

Thanks everyone for the kind words and feedback. This was a hard map to make simply because it was a remake and people would be comparing it to the original closely.

It took many months to make and caused me loads of frustration with the compiler due to it being too complex. It was my first attempt at CTF and possibly suffered because of that. Should have made something a bit smaller first.

this was probably the best map in the latest threewave release. I was amazed at the framerates given the awesome look.

Threewave players will recognize this map from the 1.5 update as "q3wcp21". This is an excellent map from Sock, and is now available in this standalone download for everyone who hasn't yet grabbed the Threewave CTF mod in its entirety.

Intricate brushwork and architecture are enhanced by Sock's meticulous texture usage. You won't find any haphazard textures slapped onto faces, no sir! Things make sense in Sock's map, right down to the individual brush triangles. It's this level of detail that makes me a Sock fan and keeps me coming back for more!

Great job!
