The map is a good sized castle/industrial like building. The texture selection is very stylish with a layout that promotes a lot of action. Item placement is good; nothing that seems to be missing. The FFA action is really good and tourney games can be intense. The recommended player load, 2 - 4, is spot on. With more the level can become really chaotic. Bots play the map well and navigate every part of it. Plays well under the CPMA mod.

This map is a definite download. I think it will stay on harddrives for some time.

Tigs notes: A very enjoyable level. Grab it!

I would like an Arctic-based map if it had wide open space rather than a maze of corridors. Which countless maps are like.

I'll start off by concentrating on what everyone else here does:

Looks-wise, a very nice level. Clean, and not over-detailed. Good work.

Now, on to the important part: the gameplay.

I have no real issues with the item loads or placement, after all, a mapcfg can fix this.

However what I do have a problem with (as I do with most maps I don't get into a lot) is the scaling.

Vertically and horizontally, it is far too big to make the layout effective enough, and mind you, I'm talking about Promode play here (I don't even bother with normal Q3).

I found myself needing items to be more within reach, and they simply weren't because of the scaling.

While it's uniform for the size the author has built it on, it's just too large. The formula style of layout this map uses calls for a tighter scale.

Good effort, but destroyed by lack of attention to scale. I'll look fwd to the next work by Sokar, I'm sure it will be quite promising.
