Ok - here goes: The map is stocked with 2 rl and 2 ga giving opponents an even footing - and within easy reach of the rg & mh/ya combo which is what you'll both be aiming to control/head for. the player who makes the rg then drops to mh/ya will have the obvious advantage - this is where the gl comes into play. it is set in a corridor to teleporter which is ok because you won't be using it for spamming. A swap between the lg/rg was what i would have liked to have seen in kit carson's
victimised but thought having the rg and rl so close in this level would be cheeky but it seems to work here ok - oh well "what might have been"... anyway the teleporters will be your best friend here as they enable you to land right on the rl's, rg, and mh if used right. And just as well because the stairs lack an obviously needed trim to open up the lower sg area of the main atrium and give you a bit of height and angling speed in the corridor duels. this would also have helped with the ra which is the most contentious issue of all. it can be strafed but because the platform it sits on is higher than the top part of the stairs there are awkward drops before you reach it. you can reach it by angling back from a jump on the stairs or clipping the area by the lg and angling it back (this is alot trickier on stairs wiothout trim) - which can turn the tables when you are being chased heading up the stairs - plus you will likely be receiving some splash damage from your opponent to assist in the jump but it leaves you painted into a corner. There's nothing like a rail in the back to see you over the line. There is also the good old fashioned rj which doesnt have that much expenditure to it if you are already carrying the ya/mh combo so i guess it's placement is somewhat of a moot point as you cant have all the powerful items handed to a player on a silver platter. the mh in
tribute to don king is similarly placed in an awkward spot but is alot easier to reach. having said all this i can't really compare it to all the other versions other than to say that this is the only version that has appealed to me.
