Loading Aim DM up for the first time, I thought the map must have been originally made in the early days of custom Q3A releases. It has that raw, simple, experimental feel all at once. But I was wrong - this map was made in 2023.

The objective is clear: practice your Railgun aim. There is nothing wrong with that at all. The execution? You spawn with the Railgun on one of four small platforms suspended in the void. Jump pads (rather than traditional launch pads) shoot you across to another platform, and you can jump back if you want. A Railgun and a sort of hidden teleporter are the only other features.

It is 100% designed for horizontal rail practice, but I just really wish there was more design to the map - more time spent on the details. A slightly raised platform, launch pads with an arc, a nodrop shader in the void to hide weapons when they fall, and a proper skybox!

A missed opportunity. It could have been a lot more interesting for such a simple idea.

Note: The map will need to be loaded from the console with \map aimdm1, or you can download a small patch file to allow the release to appear in the Skirmish menu.
