With a title like "Rockets Please" you should already know what you're in for. The author states "The single goal of the map is to create the most favorable conditions for shooting players out of the air with rockets." Sadly it really didn't work out that way. You spend most of your time on the ground, and the only way to get even a small amount of air is an invisible bouncer wrapped around the perimeter of this poorly constructed box map. The PG and SG are also available, which does not make any sense, because this is supposed to be a rocket arena.

Only a few textures have been used and the lighting is garish. Overall it looks like the product of a fresh mapper just beginning to learn the editor. One cool feature is the word "please" has been written three dimensionally in different languages on each side of the map. Unfortunately one of them is covered in a missing texture. It's hard to say anything great about this one.

The author clearly needs a lot more practice using the editor and needs to spend more time observing what makes a fun and visually appealing map before his next release. Good news for the author: You can start the latter half right here at ..::LvL, where there are plenty of great maps, and even a bunch of well done rocket arenas for you to learn from!

As for the rest of you, I do not recommend downloading this map.
