The Forlorn Hope by JustOneFix is an excellent mix of gameplay and convincing medieval visuals that are sure to keep this map on your harddrive.

Situated in a medieval castle, this map exhibits some of the best architecture I've seen in awhile. You'll find imposing towers, cathedral-like windows, and wood support beams that make the environment seem plausible. Lighting is great, and consists of skull mounted torches, and purple pentagram jump-pads. All of this is accented by the gameplay. The author's included a myriad of jumping possibilities, none of which require you to be a complete master of physics or anything, which is nice for us not-so-hardcore players. Connectivity is definitely there, and you can do a complete circuit of the map in only a few seconds (which is a good thing).

Items are placed thoughtfully with important items tucked away or left exposed from different angles. Unfortunately, botplay leaves much to be desired, however the map is featured in Generations Arena, so finding a server running this map shouldn't be too much of a problem.

The Forlorn Hope is a great map for both 1v1's or 3-5 player FFA's. And with it's sweet looks and gameplay, I'm calling this one a keeper. Download it!

I've seen this map several times on different sites. it's quite popular on some sites but others quite poor. I played this map before and i thought it was good. Textures are good and gameplay is alright. 9.5/10

I've stumbled upon this map from time to time in the downloads tab but thought nothing of it. Now that I've actually given it a try I must say it's incredible.

You can navigate the map pretty quickly at any given time thanks to cleverly designed pathways and lack of obstructions. Almost anywhere you go there's at least 2 other directions you can take, and an assortment of trick jumps to take you anywhere you would normally think you couldn't get directly to. It placement is spot on - I especially like that SG by the tele - perfect for ambushing unwary opponents!

My only gripe are those spikes on top of the RA entrance - damn things get in my way every time! The texture quality could be improved, but everything still looks alright and more importantly the actual texture choice is good and has enough variation to help your perspective but not too much to be distracting.

This map's being added to my list of all-time favorites. It's definitely on par with any given classic duel map. 10/10

it's 1 of those maps that at first glance appears quite bland but then you play on it...

Awesome. A map that caters for beginners and old dogs alike. Everything I found can be done by a new player, and there are other ways to make use of more practised movement as well. Only bad thing is that sometimes you can't work up any speed without running out of ground. Probably works well in ghe... promode. Nice one JOF!

Playing this twisted map is very enjoyable. Very fast gameplay, there will be bots or other players all around you. The lighting and the look of the map is great. The rocket launcher is what everyone wants in this level it seems, because I always found myself blasted down with a rocket launcher. This is a great map that everyone should try.

9/10

Leo I'm surprised you didn't give it zero due to the absence of Gary Coleman pics. ;)

Even more jumps/faster movement in Promode. I'd give it an 8....'cause there's not enough plants :-D
