NO WHERE TO HIDE.

Starting with the RL is a nice bonus, but if your opponent is good with the rail you're going to have a miserable time. Getting the rail is a race and whoever gets it first is probably going to reel off 4-5 frags before it's your turn. Having only one rail is often helpful but on this map, in my opinion is a real failing.

Navigating this map can be an exercise in frustration. There are sections of the map that aren't connected making it easy to slip in-between and fall a surprisingly short distance to your death. Yet strangely, there are other sections that have guardrails to make sure you can't fall.

This is a map that we wanted to like, but just can't. After two 1v1 attempts (one last year, one last night) we bailed on the map before reaching the end. Maybe it plays better with more humans.

A very good looking map that just gets too many things wrong.

It's very possible that a new botfile could potentially help the botplay... For now, off to the LAN this baby goes!

I still think after two years the author could have made the planets spherical.

Amazing architecture. It's one hell of a space map :).

The gaps are really annoying, really breaks the flow.

Man, if only Planetshit would have had the file. I would be able to play this map

Ehlo! This map looked very promising in terms of layout and "ideas"...it was even running quite nice on my system. My thought was, "how bad can the bots be? I'll give it a go"...well, first of all with 3 bots (all sporting RLs per the maps gameplay) firing away my sytem died. FPS probably a third or a quarter of what it had been. Then they kept going more and more into negative scores :- I think two things could have made this map much better: Principally, not spawning with RLs, because this would both improve flow/fighting and FPS rates, and also less places to fall off. Since both of these are true you are nearly always being shot off by splash from a rocket. Gets a 6 from me (I wouldn't score it except it actually has less than a 6 now, so seems I'll be raising the average :-p)

oh yea don't worry nano. nothing new here, we talked about it already. besides, it's not like i really cared about credits. but the pack had been also done by two other artists, for this reason, and for them only, i thought it was a good idea to speak about it.

other point, that rebel assault definitely has ideas. on this particular map, it's too bad about the technical issues, but he did released later on other works that are really fine.

n00n00k :)

nunuk =)

Well, yeah, but he didnt forget it, he just didnt know he was supposed to give you due credits, i'm now making sure that every spaniard that releases a map includes credits for the sources they've used, as well as the .txt file (that some of them happen to find pointless, dammit).

This kind of map is what happens when you have good and cool ideas, but no enough technical knowledges about the engine. That's my opinion, he has improved a lot since this map, trust me, specially his latest map, which turns out to be both cool aesthetically (tho a standard gohic map) and gameplay-wise.

Anyway, this one gets a 5 from me, may be better, may be worse...

Yes trying to imitate nunuk is pointless, as only the "real thing" can possibly be better than what nunuk has already produced :-) (Meaning more from nunuk, of course). I won't download it because

(a) Requires high-end system supposedly

(b) The bots play crappily,

but it does look cool from the screenshot (I especially like how the earth/planet in the skybox faces the game area)!

Love to see people making space experimental maps. There are several cool ideas... I love "lunapark style" maps...the playability is not the best thought. It's a very nice one, just one thing.. too much similar too much nunuk's maps IMO.

only thing i'll regret is that the author never gave any credits for having used the distonic texture pack to make his level.
