The floorplan is just a large cross with elevators on each end of the cross leading you to higher tiers . There are altogether three tiers to fight in then , the top two being arches that criss-cross each other , mainly for you to get weapons and the shield belt . Also , the elevators on each end of the ground floor only go up to a specific tier - two ends carry you to the 1st floor and the other two to the 2nd floor .

Hmmm ... description of the map maybe in just three sentences but man , this map plays beautifully . It's action all the way with the minigun and pulse rifle fire dominating the centre of the map . The bots traverse the top floors too , to pick up the shock rifle and weapon launcher and then jump in the fray below . It's a well-thought idea to place those two weapon up there because they're area-effect weapons and won't disrupt the rapid-fire that's going on in the crowded below . Unless of course you be hoping to frag someone that way :)

This map just oozes quality and class in just about all departments . I love the thick walls and inexplicably the odd-looking jester's cap towers too . Lighting especially in the corridors are effective as are the textures on the wall and such . The greyish-brown tones of the map contrast nicely with the vermillion sky , which has two shining moons in it . I could be wrong though , because there's only so much time I could spare looking up at the sky before being gunned down ! As with all good maps , the screenshot doesn't do justice to it . Especially since it actually doesn't look so dark ... hmmmm must be my own gamma settings .

There aren't much ambient sounds to report here , except for that 'gusts-of-wind-blowing-through-the-valley' effect which I thought was pretty good in that it sounded louder on the top tier and noticeably softer in the tier below . The one thing I don't really like is the enforcer which I feel is practically useless in the field of miniguns and pulse shots , rockets and shock blasts . But preferences aside , this map has to belong in your drive *cue - click to download now !*
