Reviewer Twrecks Overall Score:  6.5/10 Date NC2 11-04-2000 Time to clean your room! From the guy who brought you the Bathroom series comes, you guessed it, a bedroom. DarkMantis brings us again to a place were the players have been shruken to frag in a familiar environment. This time, a minimal bot support is added to help with your computer generated foes. They do not go everywhere, in fact, niether can you unless you can fly (example: Damage amp on kitty picture and hanging book shelf). What is nice is two pairs of swirling blue T-Ports to get you up off the floor, and a lift to the top of the chest of drawers. Unfortunatly the lift isn't scripted for bots so most of the time being spawned somewhere is the only way they get about. Graphics are nice and a custom UTX file helps texture the room, including a Quake3 box in the trash, nice touch. Lighting is fairly realistic, I would have liked to see a flare on the cieling lamp, it's a good spot to snipe from. Incidentally, the SE stands for "Sniper Edition", plenty of rifles are placed to good effect. Items are scattered and the Invisibility and armor combo in the fishtank is a throw back from Bathroom's tub. helpful hint: check the sock drawer. Since this is a kid's room, Architecture is fairly blocky, probably to keep the FPS up?. The widow to the sparce sky-box could use some trim yet on the whole convey a sense of place. Add a few secrets and a couple of toys, this bedroom has alot to offer, but with the broken bot paths and inaccessability doesn't fully deliver to its potential. Those who don't like room-corridor-room maps, here's just a Room with lots of ... room.

Luquado Rating: 4   Lighting, texturing, gameplay/flow rubs me the wrong way. Decent map, not staying on my HD. Dan 'cyberg][dan' Waters Rating: 5   Schplorrrnngggg!! FlakHarvester Rating: 4   It's boring its plain its simple and its way to big. Bots play shit too. Tom Browett Rating: 4   impossible to play and not as good as that bathroom thing (which is also fairly crap). Download DM-myHouse][ instead :) Kid Ying Rating: 4   Good architechture, but not much else. Too dark, too boring, and too hard to get where you're going. Bots need work. Some "borrowed" textures. ...might as well pimp like Tom... Get CTF-Bedrooms][ for a god little person experience. :) sparky14 Rating: 7   You guys need to learn how to play these open maps in a different way. Having just started playing the Bedroom map, I agree it is not as good as the bathroom series(Bathroom_Dow being the best!). But my group has found Bedroom to being very fun to play if you set up the game play properly. Play it with low gravity, translocator and the "Rabbit Hunt" umod for more excitement. Also try it with Tactical Ops in Death Match mode. Bot totals should be set to a large number for fast paced game play. Skagalak Rating: 5   I found the map to be very "laggy" when I set it up on my server on the 'net. I ran it for two days and nearly everyone disliked it. I run all giant scale maps and I kind of liked this one when I tried it in single player mode. It took forever to find the redeemer. Hey Sparky, my co-worker made the BathroomDoW map, have you played DoW][? I've got the newest version, still in beta, running on my server. Andy andyofne@excite.com [--x--]LurkerBot Rating: 0.5   newbie morons might like maps with bad lighting, poor texturing, and overall shittiness. then again, lots of people like the backstreet boys too. there's lots of morons in this world; unfortunately, most of them seem to be under the impression they know what makes a good map. :( DarkMantis Rating: 8   Well, I decided to wait a bit and listen to what everyone had to say about this map. Yes, the map doesn't consist of the best textures, and the bots aren't the best at tripple flipping across the bed, onto the phone and landing safely onto the wall trim, but the map is fun to play with a lot of people and a good internet connection. I know there are some things that need to be fixed, such as lighting, but any person with an iq above a monkey can figure out that this level is made for .... SNIPING... I think I put that in the description. I have learned a lot from user comments, but I also have learned that most probably haven't given the map a fair chance due to their corridor loving ways. Lustmord Rating: 6   I think you hit it right on the head with that one, Mantis. Too many corridor junkies out there. Hey people! Try using some mutators and/or mods with this one. It vastly improves things. Besides, the game's called UREAL TOURNAMENT. Not quake (1/2/3/hopefully no more). NoBoDyNoPrOoF Rating: 8   I LIKE THE MAP ...JUST NEEDS MORE IN THE WALLS.....NOT TO BIG STB 03-01-2003 06:08 AM MST Rating: 5   Hm! Too big :D You can make a mix of the bedroom, bathroom, kichen... And this would be a great house :D MrPutz 08-15-2004 02:03 AM MDT Rating: 7   A map that exhibits an obvious grasp of the use of space in the UnrealEd program. I wish someone would make a room with a gigantic, ornamented Christmas tree.
