Please note: This is an old review originally by Nacher, imported into our database.

A public release from the mastermind behind the classic CTF-Face. I can still remember this map from Unreal singleplayer, but I never knew that it would become a DM map. Probably every serious UT player has already downloaded this map because the Inoxx behind it, and it even got a mention on CliffyB's ownage. The fact is that this map indeed is a great map, but still this map will never be a classic. At least it wouldn't, if it would have been done by some unknown mapper.

Enough for the background. Let's get into the point, shall we? This map is a one huge room with a structure with a spiral pathway around it. The only way to get up there, is trough one of the four jumppads or trough the long ramps. The action easily divides in two different fights. One crowd is fighting below the structure and one on the top of it. Nearly all the weapons are located in the top circle, and powerups can be found on the top of the structure. Just be careful as that green beam is NOT a teleporter =).

The visuals are (of course) great, but the floorplan has some minor issues. I didn't like the idea of fighting on that circular pathway, as you are almost unable to dodge anything, and getting the stuff from the structure is mostly just about learning a dozen trick jumps. The lower level also could have been shrinked a bit, as now the distance beetween the players make the hits require as much luck as skill.

Despite the flaws, this map still is a great fragfest map, which I did enjoy a lot. Just don't expect too much, and you will be all set. Anyway, this map is a must have, as it will be for sure one of the default usermaps in server rotations.

I remember this map from U1, it was farther in the game, and u had to fight about 50 skaarj in it. I think I also remember it being bigger and not as cool looking, but I DO remember it from U1, nice port too, more fun this time, and the map just does a great job, but really, what would you expect from the msatermind behind CTF-Face (I think I took that from CliffyB's ownage page, if I did I give him credit) Download it now!

As much as I enjoy what it did for single player, it's a dump for DM :/

Agreed, a horrible DM. Dont know how this ever got an ownage award. I've played maps rated under 4 that are better than this.

Inoxx always finds a way to blow my mind. Take for example the jumppads in this map. Altogether, the things use 9 polys (nine!). If you rip them apart, you will see how they are done, and just how resourceful old Cedric is. You'd think they would use almost twice as many, but he uses the same fiber poly for another job. I hope he's mapping Unreal2 for us right now! :)

Eh, no, the jumppads look crap :D And the map has bad gameplay, looks weird and just because its made by Inoxx, its not good! :P

Pretty. I remember this from the original Unreal...always thought it'd make a good DM level. Well, it is good - but it's not excellent. It's as good as one room maps get.

I think this is a sweet looking map. Gameplay is not awesome, but I had a screenshot of the map as my windows desktop background for awhile, it's that impressive looking. I prefer maps I can get lost in so this one will never be my favorite. Well worth the download though.

Inoxx owns. Except for the missing light sources, the invisible wall, misaligned textures and invisible collision portal in Face. :)

Ignore the author - play the map - I got this map as soon as I saw it had got ownage, and then thought there must have been some mistake!! Did CliffyB actually play this map? I got the InoxxPack and thought his work had gone downhill, shame really. Sorry Cedric, respect, but this map SUCKS! It's only staying on my HDD so I can learn things from it. C'mon CF! Make me a map that's gonna blow my mind! BarfLung - DM-Pit coming soon... (www.geocities.com/barflung)

Beautiful, fast, and frantic....A nice change of pace from monotonous metallic mazes...And a small download as well!

I never liked this map in unreal 1 but I liked the map after that, illumination, when the whole shit blew in the air (skaarjgen is more fun in UT than in the original unreal tough)

Bots sucked. They just stood there in that little cove and got stuck on the steep ramps. Not some of Inoxx's best work.

A simple one room arena with a skeleton-type structure in the middle. This map is great for using instagib, rocketarena, runes, and sniperarena mutators. Also throw as many bots in as you can and hold on to your mouse 'cause it's gonna get ugly quick. Simple maps can work and this map proves it.

I've seen this map before its very cool too!

Well... In Unreal, this map was the Skaarj Generator, from where a great amount of Skaarj guys (Scouts and variants) appear, you having to kill them all in a dark situation (i remember clearly using the Search Light on for almost the whole battle!). It was almost near the end of the game, about 3 or 4 levels before, i think. It is an ok Deathmatch map, although VERY limited due to its arquitecture. Its specially appealing to anyone playing Rocket Arena or someone who enjoys quick forward gameplay. Other than that, the map worths by itself and NOT by who the author is. When you're playing, the author's name is the last thing you think of. Besides, INOXX is not a great mapper IF you all take CTF-FACE as example. That map is a BAD map, and only n00bs don't realize that. I think even INOXX himself thinks FACE is a not-so-good-map these days... NOTE: Edited. Getting tired of these comments about something i said ages ago, and especially about my English. I want to see you peeps speaking Portuguese correctly :p ...

Quotes from above: "it resisted in my harddrive for long" If it resisted your hard drive, how did you manage to play it? :p I think you mean resided. "im VERY crithic about maps these days" Do you mean critical? "the map worths by itself and NOT by the author" I gave myself a headache trying to understand this, lol. As for the map, well it's ok. I never got that far in the original game so I hadn't seen it until now.

"the map worths by itself and NOT by the author" I think the poster meant that the map stands on its own merits and not just because it was made by Inoxx. Make any sense? Kina a fun throwaway map... but not one that has such long-lasting appeal as some of the 1on1 classics. A nice reminder of the original Unreal, at any rate.

Not good for DM.... but great for the Monster Madness mod!

nahand says: Anyway, i've downloaded this map for quite a while now I say: how many times have you been downloading this map then? or did you download this map when it was submitted and you just finished the download? Lets just hope inoxx has learned a few things right :)

A room with jumpads and... errr... a platform. Sure, it's probably about 4-5 years old now. But it sucked then and sucks now.

from the maker of face you say...well face was a classic..and this..is not..its a nice map, 1on1 insta is best, seems a little like Hall of giants, someone above mentioned it being one of the last levels on unreal 1...well i guess it could be that..just scaled down a bit and lighting improved, but still only a 4 from me :(

I think Inoxx's conversion of HIS OWN MAP, is fine. It plays well, actually.
