Guerrilla warfare on the home front: Before this map, I think Iâ€™ve only seen one urban warfare map that I really liked. This one was pounded into shape by perfecting that balance between visual excitement and poly counts. When attention to detail is approached subtly, simplistic shapes take on life and supply enough eye candy to feed your bloody hunger. The gameplay was perfect for me when I placed 11 bots on the battlefield; plenty of z-axis, plenty of varied battles at various ranges that are believable. None of this 10-block view stuff; instead, a moderate view for sniping, scaling carefully calculated.

The sewers are a battle in and of themselves, and thereâ€™s plenty to do at street level and on the rooftops. The item placement adds to all the hoopla. Itâ€™s really quite well thought out and offers you a lot of choices for your attack strategy. The catwalk with the sniper rifle provides many views of parts of the city, and is a source of surprise for the enemy. I had a blast when I cheated for awhile and hooked myself up with a nuke and 999 rounds of ammo. You can guide a missile down into the underground parking area, around several corners, and sting a bad guy in the face with a little practice. The ambiance was set with attention to lighting and sound, custom music and textures. Itâ€™s a nice package and worth the download, especially for urban map lovers.

Graphically this map is a treat with very intelligent use of new textures. The location is realistic with lots of good frag spots. My only complaint is that it could have done with more spawn points for increased player count. Also the teleporters look very out of place.Especially recommended for realistic weapons mods

I just don't care much for the layout or all the brown colors. The main reason I have kept this map is because Akuma made it and I really enjoy his other maps alot. I do not see why this map got the Cliffyb Ownage award. Edit: The bots play real bad.

I've had this map for a long time and will keep it for a long time. Urban maps are my favourite but mostly disappoint - this one never has. A while back this would be an automatic 10, but things have moved on lately. Still highly enjoyable.

Excellent, classic solid DM map. A little slow with a small player load, but great with 5-6+.

This is another bad assed urban map, the street makes a great in your face frag fest once everyone gets their asses outside. Im a fan of urban maps and this one gives me a chubby. Kinda a pian in the arse to get on the roof w/out trans though another elevator would have been nice. Im puting this on my server, anyone is welcome to play as i own the D2M server (descends 2 madness). [CSHP] \|D2M\| Clan \|Asylum of Apocolapse\| Thats the server name find it in TDM the password is d2mdk, its a private server but public is welcome on it. It is off limits on wed, sat, and sundays as those are clan match days. u log on on one of those days and ill ban u for being a ****. [D2M]Ultra-Sierra

Nice... different from all those standard maps (like mine, I have to admit). I found one problem though. With an unlucky blast from a rocket, or a deliberate hammerjump from me trying to leave the arena, I hopped on and over the low roof from that building with the truck and a teleporter next to it. Wheeee.. I'm stuck...

lovely map! d/l took awhile though(got a GETRIGHT d/l accelooraita now..very good,better than DAP-up to 5.5 instead of 3.8/4.0 per sec!!) This style of mapping is old now but seems to retain a spark of excitement amoungst oldee gamers,I like house2house/streetfighting/urban maps most of all.

this level is great, the poly counts are quite low and the architecture looks cool. it also has good item placement and is fun 2 play :)

Nice, but to make the texture complete, add some hobos in the street that throw molvos at you, and like 2 cops that patrol the streets. (optional) but what im deducting a point from you is that (BY THE SCREENSHOTS) you need to make a thin layer of dirty water in the sewers, add some mice, and make it a little darker, with flickering lights. It would be cool if you could shoot the lights out, so it becomes a real pain in the as...phault in the sewers if u get stuck. a lot of brown in the screenshots... Hey! Where are the people in the truck making it rock back an forth? what the fu...mble , the truck is in the roof? ALL ASIDE THIS IS A GOOD URBAN MAP THAT DESERVES A TRY FROM ANYBODY!

Wow, this level kicks dude. Missing a few things in my opinion, but hey I didn't make it. I love it, good work dude.

Nice midsize City Map, but for no more than 12 or 14. What can i say that hasn't been said? Could use a few more attention-grabbers, but then i could get my butt kicked staring at the parading hookers... Not memorable, but decent flow and feel.
