Reviewer Qualthwar Awe Score:  1.0/3 Date 12-31-2002 Build Score:  1.0/3 Review Schema Cast Score:  1.5/3 User Point:  +1 Overall Score:  4.5/10 This is clearly a n00b map, but I can appreciate how hard the author tried to make things playable. You play in this large facility, but rooms are divided up to keep the polys down so the map will run okay on slower systems. Custom textures were included, but the place seems a little bland. Perhaps this was the look the author was going for. You have some water, some z-axis, and you can move around by warping, ramps or jump lifts. The bots seemed to be on their toes if you want to play this one offline, but it may be possible to play online with a dozen or so since the polys aren’t too bad. There are a few things I’d like to see the author change. Such as, I didn’t really see any light sources for the lighting. At least nothing I’d consider a source. Also, there’s a razorjack on a platform that’s difficult to reach, and I think a better weapon could have been placed here. I also noticed spawning and facing a wall; something that’s not too cool in the face of battle. There is an instagib, which will offer some firepower and I did like the low amount of health and most of the other item placement as well.

DM-CubeX (check that one out as well) Admins and map addicts, and anyone who wants to have some real fun.. download this map, it's worth every KB. naed 12-29-2002 07:16 AM MST Rating: 9   I am pretty new to UT, so havent seen many different maps, but this is one of the best I have seen for gameplay. It is not so big that people like me get lost running around and never see any combat. The textures are good and subtle, they dont overwhelm.It is great for some fast paced action, but there are also some great spots for sitting and picking people off with the sniper rifle-I especially liked the sheltering walls in the main arena, I got several kills, most of them head shots from here. Go see for yourself- try it now! Claw 01-03-2003 12:20 PM MST Rating: 4   *cough* When will people realize that a 9 is meant for an awesome, nearly perfect map?

They don't realise that it takes 1+ year of experience to make a map that's truely worth a 9/10.
