Reviewer Twrecks Awe Score:  0.0/3 Date 12-26-2002 Build Score:  0.0/3 Review Schema Cast Score:  0.5/3 User Point:  0 Overall Score:  0.5/10 I find it hard to start a review without any positive comments in hand. Now in the off case you find spammy maps fun, then heck, have I got a map for you... DM-LANmap is a simple arena, as you can tell from the screenshots. Yes, that's the whole map. 8 spokes radiate outward from the killing hub. Item placement provides abundant arms/ammo for the 40 player starts, 5 along the back wall of each, along with a kicker to launch players to the health-walk above. Smack in the resulting circle of ensuing cross-fire lie the three prime power ups and at their nexus, MrDeemer. That hand held nuke awaits for the fastest with a translocator. Believe me, a quick suicide bombing run at the start should result in a fast multikill. The e-radiating of on-rushing bots will give you a boost up the score ladder. I got all 10 bots on my initial attempt! That's 9 frags for me, Zero for the rest of you. (10 kills minus one for self-frag). On architecture, there's not a lot to say here either, well not anything good. Again I see the un-deintersected subtract-a-brush build technique in action. Lack of trim on the upper catwalks and obvious texture tiling on the floor and cieling offend the eye no matter which way you look. Heh, it's all the same. The mesh supports do not terminate properly and do not tie with the brush work between. Without going into more smack-down, DM-LANmap does get good framerates. There, I said something good. Made before the first patch, has niether a preview screen or level summary. The download is short, as should any comments. We do have an anti-flame policy at NaliCity, Reviewers are the only exception.

Balton 12-26-2002 03:57 PM MST Rating: 0   and again an author mixes up gameplay that the game itself provides and that the map provides. the map only provides as much gameplay as any andaction clone or whatever provides... qwhat I want to say is that the author should rethink what a good map makes BangOut 12-26-2002 03:59 PM MST Rating: 0   Just say no, kids. Bot40 12-26-2002 04:00 PM MST Rating: 0   A map that needs to be played on LAN is not a good map...LAN makes almost any map fun. Nice one Ruk :p Trailblazer 12-27-2002 02:04 AM MST Rating: 0   Err, to be exact, this is a bit worse than my first map attempt on UT, a lot of time ago. But again, I didn't know how to move brushes then :) Lruce Bee 12-27-2002 11:50 AM MST Rating: 1   It takes a brave man to review a map like this but an even braver one to play it Lruce SirTahngarth 12-27-2002 02:53 PM MST Rating: 3   May be worth your time if you like insane fragfests. but then, if you like insane fragspamfests, just play DM-TrainingDay or DM-Gael with 32 bots. whoopee. =| layziepop 12-27-2002 05:09 PM MST Rating: 0   And WHY do you waste your time reviewing crap maps like this? Agent X 12-27-2002 11:57 PM MST Rating: 0   Rukee will have a lot of explaining to do :) hehe j/k Satyrkarma 12-28-2002 12:38 AM MST Rating: 3   Review by Satyrkarma Design: 4/10 >>>Good design...too bad it wasn't done by a professional. I don't mind playing these kinds of arenas every now and then, but I prefer my maps to look a little bit less Doomish. Awe: 1/10 >>>I could go lower I suppose but I don't like giving out zeros. There's nothing to see here. Move along. Difficulty: 5/10 >>>It's as average as they come. If you're a good player, it'll be easy. If you're a bad player, we'll try to identify you at the morgue. Overall: 3/10 >>>This one is fun to play once a month, but I don't clutter my PC with imperfection and certainly not garbage. Claw 01-20-2003 04:05 PM MST Rating: 1   It's a map. I mean, it's not just a subtracted cube with default texture and a single playerstart or something. Other than that, it has no redeeming features. Fuzzy Logic 01-21-2003 01:23 PM MST Rating: 1   Duh! This makes my brain hurt... The_Real_Meneer_Aard 06-03-2003 10:14 AM MDT Rating: 0   The screenshot says; "press fire to start" Now WHATEVER YOU DO DONT PRESS FIRE PLEASE!!!! The Twiggman 06-22-2003 05:50 PM MDT Rating: 2   A fresh idea that needed to be buffed up on the visual side. I wouldn't find much wrong if it had nice visuals or architecture but keeping the same floorplan.
