Fragment by KOHTPA is a small deathmatch map designed for 2 to 4 players. Although certainly a good effort by the author, there are a variety of issues that keep this map from standing out from the vast number of custom levels.

The positive aspects are primarily the creative placement of the RA, which sits on an inverted cone platform high above the map, and the RG, which is on a dangerous arch platform hanging over the death fog. The gameplay is a fairly straightforward experience of constantly fighting other players due to the small size, with trips into the fog interspersed. Some of the item placement is questionable, particularly the MH, which is oddly located on one of the sides of the symmetrical central area, which seems entirely arbitrary. The spawn placement could also use some work, particularly the one that spawns you in between a large column and the wall, and at least one located on the edge of a platform overhanging the death fog, which led to immediately falling a number of times.

Visually there is a large amount of room for improvement, and I would encourage the author to beta test his future maps at some of the editing forums (try either Quake3World Forum or leveldesign.nl). Some specific problems are: sparklies, unsourced lights, mismatched light/light source colors, poor texture alignment, and odd texture coordinates on the RA platform cone.

To conclude, I would recommend skipping this one by if you are looking for an arena to run around in for an extended period of time. If the author engaged in some discourse with others in the editing community, I'm confident his subsequent levels will be much more worthwhile.

SW12, No problem - I'm sure KOHTPA and the Quake 3 Arena Community will forgive you. I too, forgive you, as I'm a part of the Quake 3 Arena Community and so are you. I don't think the community would have turned into the current community if people didn't forgive each other from the bad things they did - although we had a rough time in the few beginning years when this site appeared though I don't want to talk about it, but the community has completely changed into a more friendlier, helpful and respectful community from that time.

Again, No problem and I'm sure that KOHTPA and the Quake 3 Arena community will forgive you :)

@PaN61, Okay. I'm sorry to everyone if what I said may have hurt or offended people. As you can see however, I make my mistakes too. Mostly by jumping to conclusions.

SW12, We are all human and therefore make mistakes such as spelling errors and typos when writing, but you have to realize that not everybody is an excellent speller or good at English. People also make grammatical errors when writing; the first time you write something you don't notice it, but when you look back at the sentence later you see that you could have improved the grammar in that sentence so that people knew what you were talking about.

Again, we are all human - Me, You, Tigger-oN, KOHTPA and everybody else, and therefore make mistakes. Nobody was born perfect and you need to understand that as well as respecting other people who don't know the language or are learning the language.

KOHTPA: Then why would you write that in the readme it being called "Fagment"? You REALLY need to brush up on your spelling/English.

@acid: That is what is in the readme, so I guess that is what the author wanted.

Is "Fagment" a spelling error or purpose? xD

Hey man, I notice your map had no votes and I felt bad. So I decided to give it a whirl. I didn't like it, unfortunately. I felt I was testing an experimental map where the mapper has taken several experiments--such as bounce pads, lighting, curves, fog, etc.--and mashed them all together into a test arena map. I would vote 0, but I would vote 1 for effort. I voted 2/10 though because I enjoyed one corner of your map where you actually modeled a bunch of spikes coming out of the top of the walls--that look cool. :)
