Starting this map is dangerous. You will be trapped in a 3D world that you will not want to leave. A visual delight, amazing detail, smooth game play in a 4 to 5 player DM and very cool Team Deathmatch (2v2 and 3v3). There are two very minor, subjective, nit-picks. The flight power-up may have been better as a Quad or Haste. The barrels take too long to explode to be anything more than a gimmick, but they do add a lot to the already rich atmosphere. There are a number of cool trick jumps. With the CPM mod expect to find many more. Bots do pretty well considering the complexity of the map.

A total blast, grab it now!

The personal teleporter leads to a spot i thought was a bit funny...

Secrets (That I have found):

1. Shoot a grenade into the PT chamber to explode the barrels, destroying the wall.
2. Tig metioned it below.
3. In the top right of the 4th screenshot, shoot the barrel that is on top of that big platform thing.

Look for some creates stacked in an area near a doorway. You can jump up on these, then over and behind the creates. You can then go exploring :]

a popular release crushed by the burden of novelty it carries - i wanna like it coz it's so cool but it all feels a little too over-pimped if you know what i'm saying...

Uncanny sense of foreboding of what Doom III then became. The very stylish textures and the attention to detail all other the map, plus the interesting architecture really make this map stand out.

This has ALWAYS been my favorite map ever made. Especially when you finally find the last secret in the map three years later from it's release. GONNAKILLYA! called it map of the year when it was released......I call it the perfection of the art of Q3A mapping. That's what comes from a promode mapper=>

Gade A, top notch map.

Very playable. Excelent work on the no clips and details.

First time I seen the color scheme but it is absoluty gorgious without droping frame rates.

Tricking aspect was well done.

I have already worked up a decent run.

This map is a keeper. Hope to see it used on the servers.

Hi Q-Fraggel, nice map. I don't like dm but this one is cool. Especially the texturing and with that detail brushwork. This map is worth every positive aspect posted here!!

I've heard you posted at planetquake.de (LE forum) time ago, would be nice to see you there again, many mappers would be proud to share your experiences there!

this is an excellent map. the textures are great. the gameplay is good. brushwork and detail are also great. we play this map at least once a day on my server and it still amazes me. i just wanna know one thing. HOW DID YOU DO THE EXPLODING BARRELS??? i give it a 10.

Wicked map, especially the 'water slide'. I found one of the secrets last night, but was disappointed that it only lead to the flight powerup, which in this level seems a little silly. (Anybody of the other opinion?) Maybe the power suit or quake might have been better. And the delay on the barrel explosions seems a little too long to be of much use in game, would like to see that sped up.

But the sound cues and animations (I love the "trip wire" at the power suit that opens the door) and so many other things make this an excellent, well put together map. I still haven't figured out how to get the teleporter! I love having secrets like that in a map.

One of the coolest custom made maps I have seen! And normally I think the quality of custom maps is not that high, but this one roxx! U rule!

Heh, it's me again...

Sorry, I couldn't see the skybox because I was playing the map in a friend's computer who has the high quality sky turned off. Now I've downloaded it at home and can see it.

This map plays very well in my 3 year-old computer with a 2 year-old graphics card.

first.. impressive map. nice gfx style, looks stylish. connectivity is also great, i lost myself a few times ;)

the barrels are also quite cool. first wondered how this worked..

well one aspect that bothered me was, that there is a wall/ceiling not clipped, or is it intended? i don't know. there's a good camping spot above the rl, reached by the 2 stairs beside it. hey i'm not a camper, eh.

here's a pic, just to show: http://www.planetquake.com/acid/images/camp_s.jpg

Great map, detail level is amazing; would be perfect with a skybox or a sky texture instead of the black sky.

I picked this map up on Friday and have been playing it almost non-stop.

Some may find it too busy but I think this map shows more imagination that just about anything I've seen.

An absolute must have!

great brushwork, great textures and nice secrets and gimmicks. (also if the exploding barrels could have been done better :P) this is one of the best q3 maps i've seen.

Wow. This map is very impressive. The water slide type thing is cool too. It has a lot of detail and a general feel to it that the author has invested lots and lots of time and attention.

Cheers.
