Reviewer Twrecks Awe Score:  0.0/3 Date 01-13-2003 Build Score:  0.5/3 Review Schema Cast Score:  0.5/3 User Point:  +1 Overall Score:  2.0/10 Your normal two tiered circular arena map with lava pits and a spiralling outer hallway of stairs and lifts. Lighting is over bright and architecture sub-average. Item placement is random, except the U-Damage centrally located amid the floor. The upper catwalks take some skill to navigate in a fire fight, so will the lava pits as they will be your next stop. Intended as a 1-on-1 map, no visual or architectual clues will lead you to a specific item due to the symetrical build. If anything, not a bad first map, but not deserving of a higher score for any other reason.

Its an arena style map which is'nt big on eye candy but is big on gameplay, and has some nice trim work. Its a little slow on my machine (which isn't very fast); this could probably be remedied by using zones in the outer tunnels. The slowdown is'nt bad though, even without zoning. It flows well, the item placement is good, and has a catwalk to rain death from above. The bots use the map effectively. I really like the lifts; they look realistic. Overall I'm having a hard time finding flaws to point out, which is unusual. The map could use some more z-axis; theres little to no cover in the arena - while I realize this was probably a design choice, some cover would have been welcome. The lighting is a bit bright too; and I didnt notice any sourcing in the tunnels. Also, the cobblestones on the floor of the catwalk looked odd given the high tech setting. All in all though a good first effort. I'm looking forward to your next one - a decent 1v1 or 2v2 map. misterrioes 12-25-2002 03:07 PM MST Rating: 5   quiet good map ... for being your first one ...

Find a better screenshot or at least add some eyecandy. Claw 01-21-2003 03:35 PM MST Rating: 1   Mr reviewer got it right. A zero is bashing, a one is what this map deserves. He also did mention what's wrong with the map. Of course, it's not his job to include a mapping tutorial in the review. I used to believe reviews are for the players who may want to download a map. Or not. Try the mapping forum for feedback. horned demon 01-22-2003 06:15 AM MST Rating: 5   i can always understand someone giveing a map a low rateing becuse they feel that the map is incomeplete or not good enough.take in mind that some ppl first map isent going to be real good,usally they never are.if you dont like a map and the author want's to know what he can improve,just tell him.thats really alot better then being an prick and insulting the author(of coures unless he makes a series of bad maps and dosent really give a fuck, then by all mean fire away).but since this map is a first for Krull and he's not very experinced give him space, after all he took time out of his life just to build map that would be runed down into the ground by ppl who problebly never found out how to run unreal E.D. as far as the map gose, i like the over all layout, with a uper deck and reasonbly size pit, and decent bot surport this map is good for a fast skirmish. i do think this map need's more textures,mabe some more paths and secret weapon placment's.for your first map i quit like. look forward to further maps Louise 01-22-2003 05:32 AM MST Rating: 5   For a first map it's ok.
