I'm always impressed with Tabun's ability to add detail and geometry touches to a map that technically elevates it for a new engine while not losing the over all feel of the original design. This level and his rework of Doom II's Entryway are high water marks for me personally and I always enjoy loading these maps up.

Very cool map. Never played the original but I do prefer the modified version (the file comes with two versions, a "pure" one and a modified one). Texturing is quite unique. Feels a bit like a mental hospital!

Holy,.. what a cool map. Quake 1 remake or not, this is really a top one. I'm one of those Quake 1 players, playing from the beginning of the release at that time (1996 maybe? can't remember exactly), a lot of fun. A bit of this is still alive in this map here, especially the claustrophobic feeling, if it would play in the underground. The modernised version of the two is my favourite here. Interesting to watch the bots climbing the single stone steps :).

Understood. But as far as screen shots go, Do you suppose possibly more teaser shots could be added when you guys do have the time?

And rightly so, for I am the bird! :)

As for the release on 1.0, I'm afraid that I cannot put a time frame on it. A lot has been done, but there's still a lot left to do. It is definitely progressing though.

When do you estimate 1.0 will be released? Its nice to hear from the bird. At least thats what the rest of your development team calls you. :D

SW12: Yes, this will be included with Generations 1.0. Tabun is, after all, on the development team. ;)

Was this map used in generations arena? And/or will it be a part of Version 1.0? Which I can't wait to come out. Looking from the promotion Vids for 1.0, It makes us fans more and more anxious for it. The new Luger looked P1MP3D!!

Excellent map! This is pretty much how I imagine The Cistern in a newer engine. I especially like the version with the changed layout, suits the Q3 gameplay much better then the origininal layout.

This is totally awesome, subtle detailing with very good proportions and realistic lighting. Professional work! Makes me want to improve my own map/

I hear you. It's not that I really mind haters -- I'm just bothered about the lack of constructive feedback. I guess I got used to the Q3W forum.. ;]

Hey Tabun,
Don't sweat it too much, there has been a lot of hater and troll activity of late.

To those voting 3's and lower on this map: please help me out some and post your crits. Just indicating that you think the map is totally worthless doesn't really help. I'm always ready to learn and improve, but just voting 0.5 (?) out of 10 is unhelpful. What would you like to see done differently?

Only after helping a bit with botclip and hinting did I actually finally understand the layout of this map. During Quake times I never really understood the layout.

Very nice reinterpretation of an original Quake map... IMO, much much better and obviously more beautiful than the original. Definitely worth looking into.
