Review
Reviewer Kain Overall Score:  7/10 Date NC2 12-02-2000 This is a good medium-sized polished level. It is a remake of MaxModule's previous map, Real World Gone Bad, and it now looks a lot more stylish. The layout is basically square, with a large path in the centre, and several smaller paths increasing connectivity. There is one dead-end that requires you to jump up a load of crates to escape. It is relatively flat, with little Z-axis fighting. Because of this it plays well with realistic mods such as Infiltration or Tac Ops as well as with the standard UT guns. Bots provide a good fight when they see you but they do not impact-jump to get powerups and often get stuck under a lift by the sniper rifle. Decals do not show up on this map because the entire level has been flagged a fogzone. The level is almost entirely a very bright blue-white colour, which may or may not be to your taste. The interiors are much darker and browner, providing a good contrast. Custom textures are used and are for the most part good but there is a chainlink fence texture that has a detail texture applied to it so looks wrong when you get up close. I found no problems with lighting or architecture, and there are a few cool details like the foggy passageway in one of the airvents. Framerates are good throughout, and the only real beef I had with this map is the item placement. The weapons are OK, but the redeemer, the invisibility, and the Udamage are all very near each other and require an impact-jump to reach, and the megahealth is further away but again on a crate needing an impact jump. There are also no less than 5 rocketpacks all near the rocket launcher. It is way too much ordinance for the size of the map. If you play with a realistic mod all these items get removed so the placement doesn't really matter.

Nightmare Rating: 8   Just one word needed to sum up the fun factor: Owns! Lestat Rating: 8   I love the feel of this map.Really gives you and Icy,Frosty,Chilly,Coldish,not warm at all atmosphere to it. New textures always add a lot to a map, and these were very well made. Very clean level. sprag Rating: 8.5   A great map with a killer look, feel and flow. The map just glides. Play it--you'll see. creatoR Rating: 8   I like it. Its theme is really worked out originally. It's small wich makes good for some 1on1 action. The action gets way too heated if you add more than four bots/players. LifesBane[4C] Rating: 9   Heh...Kain says that the one Fence texture has a detail texture on it that looks bad....that is a standard Epic texture, not a custom one...Maps shouldn't be reviewed and have points taken off because of something they don't like about an Epic item used in the game...or in this case, texture. I think the map is very fun to play...could have used a snow script...but I've looked and can't find any that work either :) Kain Rating: 8   erm no it's not, you see I check things out in the editor: frz_iceotope.mmfence01 (the one with the big hole in it). Good map tho - this isn't really a problem, it's just the whole point of map reviews is to point out the less-than-perfect things. FranÃ�ois Rating: 8.5   This new version of Real World Gone Bad is much more better.The textures are topnotch and the map is well organized.This map is one of the best Deathmatch map. :) Wiz Rating: 7.5   isn't this the 3d time this map has been reviewed here? Christiaan Rating: 8.5   This map could have been given a higher score... And now I am posting... Could you nali city guys make a normal forum??? Dai Rating: 6   it' flat and weird. Akuma Rating: 6   Nice ambience, crap layout, some weird looking architecture. Vaporman Rating: 9   This map Owns!!! Especially with INF. Shambler Rating: 9   Kain you need to stop injecting crack into your scrote before reviewing maps. Firstly the Megahealth is accessible by a very easy steep slope slide up the opposite crate OR jumping onto the small crate then the large crates nearby. Damn U SUCK if you can't figure that out. Secondly the other stuff is accessible simply by jumping across from the Sniper Rifle ledge to the beam above fence. And even if this was only accessible by hammer jump, that would be a good thing to balance out power items. Anyway, bloody great map, everything, apart from the flatness and b0rked fence texture, works perfectly for both visuals and solid, frantic gameplay. A solid 9. SirFraggedalot Rating: 9   Really fun. Only a few flaws (the fence texture), but It's a favorite when I play on LAN at school. Layout seems to flow nicely, but who really cares. ()nager Rating: 9   Very smoooooth map. *NICE AND SHINY* ( lol :) ) Very fun. So what xecpt for one glictch its pretty good. Good improvment over Real world gone bad. Liked old redeemer room though. Neural Genesis Rating: 8.5   Good map quite fun and looks rather nice, Deathwing Rating: 8.5   Definitely worth the ownage award! Devil Eyes Rating: 7   I liked the original better. It's just too bright this way. It's still fun to play though and it is kickass with INF. skankey Rating: 8.5   Love the layout, love the theme... great map Blooddog_sweden Rating: 7.5   Ownz!!!!!!Do I need to say more? Platinum[STS] Rating: 8.5   great map. 8.5 A NEW RECORD SCORE from Platinum! Uncle_Bob 04-04-2004 03:57 PM MDT Rating: 8   I think this is a very good DM map. Its fun to play and personaly I like the snowy textures. There is a good sniper point as well. I have also played this map in DOM on the net. That was good as well. Hellscrag2002 04-05-2004 11:05 AM MDT Rating: 8   I have always enjoyed this map - great theme and good gameplay. KosaPL 04-05-2004 01:04 PM MDT Rating: 9   Yeah, fine, really cool map, download it !!!!!!! XepptizZ 04-05-2004 06:52 PM MDT Rating: 8   I like the lightning, but the rest is al so simple. It feels nice and cold too. BTW I found another secret on the roof, as for ALL the litle secrets it's accessible without impacthammerjumping, I found it in game and not in the editor, kinda cool. So try to get on the roof, it's hard but not impossible GreetzZ XepptizZ NeoNite 09-14-2004 11:46 AM MDT Rating: 7.5   I've had this map for many years now, and it's never become dull, stale. Iceotoxin is a small, fun fragfest map. It still has a clean look, which I enjoy very much. I wish the bots would access all areas of the map though. They don't go for certain power-ups and completely ignore the sniper hide-out. Otherwise, like I've said: an excellent deathmatch map. I also have "real world gone bad", but I prefer iceotoxin. IronMan 05-13-2006 12:08 AM MDT Rating: 7.5   I also prefer this version over RealWorldGoneBad. An easy map to navigate and I enjoy the "wintery" feel of the atmosphere. Manticore 05-13-2006 09:34 PM MDT Rating: 7.5   Another piece of classic DM. It's been around for years and still worth taking a look at. cooloola 05-14-2006 12:31 PM MDT   While not visually stunning but the theme execution is good and the map delivers some fast and fun Gamelay
