This map created and tested by members of the Chicken Team. The actual author listed for the map is Geit. The maps is a medium tourney map with 2 main levels of play to it. These levels are connected via 2 curved stairways in the main level, a couple of jumppads, and 2 teleporters to keep things moving. The level is designed with a nice circular flow to the game play which will keep bringing you back to the center of the action. Nice job on the brushwork with enough detail so that you do not feel like your running down empty halls but with enough restraint so that the r_speeds stay low. The textures are from a tech collection by Sock with a couple of textures from Evillair and Lunaran used as well. The skybox and light models are also Sock's work. Geit uses them to near perfection. The only problem that I found is one of the grate textures on the second tier does not have a weapon clip brush over it so you can shoot through it. Maybe this was done for game play reasons, I dunno, it just did not seem right. The level is well lit from both the skybox shader and the lights throughout the level. No problem seeing the target on this map.

Conclusion: Overall Geit did a spot on job with both the brushwork and the texturing. The environment is believable and very fast paced. I could only find one thing wrong with the map and this might have been intentional so no points off there. Get this map! It's well worth the download.

Strange, you play the map and simply say "yes, it's all there". This quite detailed and beautifully textured map not only looks good, but even more importantly plays really well, also against the bots. Many "clever little" jumps give the casual vQ3 player a mild challenge, in-between fights to get that extra health or armor. The layout is interesting, in the sense that the player actually *wants* to learn it. Download it!

I am not quite sure if this is considered kitsch by old-school mappers, or if it simply was just not done back in 2002, but I really miss nice respawn pads for the weapons. Seeing them float over unmarked floors is a but of a disappointment.

"I found the lower room where the 5HB's are to be a little useless. Perhaps placing a more important item into this room would have given it more purpose."


hehe, thats what I told geit when he was beta'ing it. Told him to move the RA/YA down to there in that water, but noooo he doesn't listen to me.... :D (j/k geit :))

Nice piece of work, it really is. The only major gripe I have is that there seems to be too much space to move around. imho, the level could have utilised a tighter structure to increase speed of gameplay. The length of rooms and hallways makes the railgun far too dominant, and cooldown of armours can really be felt by the distance also.


I found the lower room where the 5HB's are to be a little useless. Perhaps placing a more important item into this room would have given it more purpose.


Aesthetically, the map is beautiful. I really do like the style, quite nice.


Overall, a good piece of work.

7/10

How typical - no mention about gameplay.

This is one solid map. The reviewer talks mostly of the mapping details in it (aesthetic), but the best part of it is of course the gameplay. Makes for quite a good 1v1 or FFA.

This is for play reasons and nothing is wrong with that :)


have fun with the map!
