ReviewerAaron 'Platinum' IngersollOverall Score: 9/10

This map is of today's epic quality. The atmosphere was "1337". The wind blowing around the corner, the flickering torches, the dripping water, the endless pits, and missing floor tiles all create an extreme atmosphere with an elite uniqueness and also a "spooky" atmosphere that you don't see very often in the UT community and I very much enjoyed it.


I played this map with 4 aggressive tweaked bots, this map is well suited for shock comboing by the way ;) they did great, they are even smart enough to not fall into the pits. Baal often has 200 in view polys but it still doesn't break 250. Items were placed where needed. The amp was placed above the arena along with some vials. You should notice it if you walk by in the right direction. Just like all of Chico's maps the architecture is one of a kind and the textures also helped out being from WOT. The lighting was very nice and helped the atmosphere a lot and contrasted well. There was a warm to cold feel that I really liked. The music was very fitting, and ambient sounds were placed expertly. All in all, this map was a unique experience you won't find elsewhere at least until Chico makes another map.



  • If you liked this map you may also want to check out Ictus' 1on1 map, because it uses the same textures, and has a theme that can easily be compared to this maps theme. You can find it in the recently released 1on1 map pack.

    Ictus map is much better then this. Id say get that. This flow on this map just isnt that fun. Graphics and sound were nice but the gameplay just wasnt there.

    This map rox, while it isnt Chico's best its pretty fucking sweet. I think his best so far would have to be CTF-Shadar!

    Good atmosphere, a little more sense and order to the design and construction than some of Chico's other maps. Suggested download.

    A good map, but not a 9 IMO. There are several BSP errors, and while they aren't bad enough to affect gameplay, they detract from the quality of the map. The Rune textures were a nice change of pace, but the skybox was shootable and moved too fast. Not one of Chico's better works, but still a good map.

    Well, I agree with the reviewer on this one, its a great map with great effects that fit together naturally. Though its not a very original theme, it was very well done and very well thought out, there is only one problem I have with it. What is with the name? Baal??????

    I'd give it a 9, but anybody who claims one day on a map like this loses one point for being a smartass. I can't stand people who pour blood and sweat into making a map and then act like it was a Sunday afternoon joke map. Don't piss on my leg and tell me its raining...

    Didn't like this one as much as Chico's others. It looks ok, plays about the same.
