I fear I suffered an Ack attack when viewing this file via the Editor. Having suffered the same mistake of deintersecting a level to combine geometry really hurts the ol FPS. The I had another Ack playing the map for the first time. Visuals are not the best in the world. Aside from a ghastly skybox and some of the nastiest hacked terrain Ive seen, numerous unsourced lights and poor texture transistions abound. Then theres gameplay, or lack of. Flow is hampered by numerous snags, mainly by the fugly terrain and abundant crates. Tight corridors and small doorways cut the circulation further. A shame that a level with so much work in it plays so badly. It is obvious that the author has some grip on Ued, and from the readme appears to be an accomplished mapper. Unfortunately expierence and knowledge do not go hand in hand. Sorry, but this is one Guarden this reviewer will lead you into.

Great concept, Unique is the word for this map, this is a must have for your DM arsenal storm 03-01-2003 03:36 AM MST Rating: 6   well intill a review arrives on this map i thought i would give it a bit of a review guarden is definetly a change of scenery to your average DM map the main reason i gave this map a six is because the bots arnt to hot on thee old A.I if made to they will venture out into the dirt and bush but have a tendancy to keep to the walkways other than that it is a pritty good map, but what it lacks in size it sure makes up for in detail the weapons are well placed but there is a ammo thing on the third floor where there is a whole arrange of ammo for every weapon which is a little over the top in perspective as i said before it is a change to your average map so i would recomend dowloading this one theBAMNman 03-03-2003 06:30 PM MST Rating: 2   Read some tutorials, lay off the fog, and work on the lighting. Oh yeah, and try using a layout that’s not a few paths, one on top of the other, around a main arena – actually get creative! Stalin 06-15-2003 12:39 PM MDT Rating: 5   It's not that bad. Good consept. The only noticable problems it has is the tereign (which is total ****) and the sky, which isn't even that bad but for the stupid tree thing (anyone ever seen a tree that big? Anyone?). So long as you stay off the stupid pile of hashed together blocks in the centre, it's ok. and let's face it; only an idiot would go out into the open like that anyway. mafia_massacre 06-26-2003 09:13 PM MDT Rating: 6   eh u up there, some people like to play on maps like this, everyone has their preference, as for me this map is one of my faves simply because it is far from being like any other map ive seen, who says it has to be realistic anyways? if we wanted reality we could look out the window! good gameplay and all around good fun map VERY CREATIVE :) Ragnorock 07-08-2003 11:59 AM MDT Rating: 8   One ofthe very best maps I have ever played.
