Created as homage to the upcoming Doom3, Oberon2 seeks to be a dark, gloomy, industrial-tech base on a lunar outpost. Immediately, this atmosphere ruined by missing shaders and textures in the map. Nothing quite like grey boxes to spoil the aesthetic feel of a map. This is unfortunate because otherwise, the map looks very good, save for an out-of-place p0rn pic.

At 27 megs, you'd expect a huge map, and while the map is large with many wide open areas, the massive size of this zip file is due mostly to many custom textures. There isn't even one custom sound included. The author recommends only four players, however this felt somewhat understaffed to me so I tried eight. It was at this point I found that the author only included six spawn points. The bots did play well, but item placement and availability is sub-par. Machine guns rule the day, and, truthfully, the map almost feels like it should be used in some singleplayer game. It shows that the author was the only Beta Tester.

While interesting to look at and aesthetically designed well, this map just doesn't "have it" when it comes to gameplay. I see no compelling reason to download this map as it is.

OK, The Uranus and attached Klingon jokes are a bit tired.

It is true that the missing textures make the map less than what we would like. Heaven only knows why someone would release a map so close to perfectly awesome as this with such a relatively minor flaw. Never mind the weapon placement, etc.; go figure. I only know that it can still be a fun frag fest if you like a lot of room to run around in. It has a relative believability about it until the missing paint is noticed. I spruced my copy up with the image of Uranus in the evening sky and added some NASA logos here and there as well as some bloody hand prints on a some doors. I wish that the bots had a place to camp also. Alas, we must take the elements that we like and weight them against what troubles us. Over all I'd give this one good marks for the design, size, and the ambiance. It loses out on game play and the irritating and aforementioned missing textures.

Its a VERY nice map, but as the reviewer stated, the missing textures take a lot away.
Close the map navigation system
