This is a tweak of DM-Nygen. Nygen was cool, but it showed up extremely bright and washed out on my system. The bots had some problems as well, and I still see some with this map, but the lighting is much better. I'll give you the low-down on the bots first and get it out of the way: They seem to ignore some vials on a crate, they run right past the invisibility, and one was stuck under a lift. The lift thing was isolated, because they performed well all the other times I watched them.
As for everything else: Man, I like this map. It makes me think of the Epic maps that use bevels, curves, smart geometry to make a map look interesting, instead of hitting you over the head with unwanted eye candy that can slow your computer down. If z-axis is very important to you, you might not enjoy this map that much, because it's very limited. But I found this to be a very fun map to play even if I was limited, and the moderation of eye candy dotted the "I" for me. It's snowing outside, monsters are hanging out playing dice, ripper blades are banging off the walls, water is flowing, or leaking, or dripping; it's just a cool environment to be in. The lighting shows better contrast between light and dark now, and there are many spotlights shinning on the floors. Light is coming from nowhere in some water I noticed, but for the most part, every detail was considered. A couple of small geometry misalignments, not bad. Play it with about 8. |

| Blooddog_sweden | Rating: 5 | | NO,NO,NO! To high!!!!!
| Halo14 | Rating: 9.5 | | TOO HIGH? TOO LOW IS MORE LIKE IT! This map is waaaaay cool. Its Like NyGen on drugs ( in a good way). I found this map incredibly fun, online and offline, and that music track was frickin sweet!
| Metago | Rating: 5.5 | | Qualthwar: take a break, play some GOOD maps and then come back and play this
| _UE_Hunter | Rating: 6 | | No qualth, keep on your high score spree. My CTF will be done in about a week, and you are going to review it.
| Shock6822 | Rating: 6 | | Too laggy, no z-axis, bad bots, but everything else is well done
| Lustmord | Rating: 7 | | I liked this one, it flowed well and the bots worked nicely. Hey Qualthwar, bet its nice to be so popular, eh?;)
| Agent X | Rating: 4 | | Uh excuse me. An 8.5? What you smoking Q. My system tripped up on this one. I'm sorry but fps below 10 just isn't tolerable on a 1.2 ghz. Layout is bland on top of that, and I noticed some bad visuals too. Other than that, it's a good map.
| Aegeri | Rating: 6 | | Certainly isn't as bad as some others I've seen. Qual learn to take screenshots man, those are seriously boring :P
| Vult | Rating: 8.5 | | Schweeeeet. But Agent X... 10fps on a 1.2ghz? Dude, I have an Athlon 550 with a Voodoo4 in my box, and running at 1024X768, my fps never dropped below 25 in the most complex areas. Try freeing up resources or optimizing 3D hardware... that just ain't right.
| TRouBLe | Rating: 4.5 | | What color is the sky in your world Q? This map was not impressive at all. In the larger open areas it skipped..and I have a pretty pumped computer so that shouldn't be happening. Even if it hadn't skipped it definitely was not a fun map to play. Visually unimpressive as well.
| Platinum[STS] | Rating: 6 | | not a very good map. not that it affected the score im giving it but. it got choppy on my computer in a few places, looking down the hole to the snow, etc... i thought it was kinda dumb how u hit a swith and the window barrier thing opens and all u see is a ship hovering there. not worth the d/l
| wing_zero_ex 08-14-2003 01:36 AM MDT | Rating: 2 | | The title should be absolute crap.
| gyokusai 11-21-2003 06:52 PM MST | Rating: 7 | | Not a masterpiece, I agree with its author. But the design is tactically sound, there's loads of atmosphere, great music, and I like the funny bits like those aliens doing airfield duty, attending panels, or playing dice, blissfully or stoically oblivious to the carnage all around.
| Vertigo 11-22-2003 04:31 AM MST | Rating: 5 | | come on this aint a 7 qualth, no z-axis, RcR , at least has a noce atmosphere and the music (that does not fit the map) is very very cool, i like it, yeah i love that kind of industrial/metal music tracks hehe
| slaskan 06-08-2004 01:10 PM MDT | | hhmmmm i know the name from somewhere else hmmm.. ok it was nothing special just that ut2k4 had ripped tha name no big deal (laaame epic)
