Reviewer Hourences Awe Score:  2.0/3 Date 04-18-2003 Build Score:  1.5/3 Review Schema Cast Score:  1.0/3 User Point:  0 Overall Score:  4.5/10 A map made out of 100 catwalks in a large valley, in a lava type of world. So if you are a fan of running over a few hundred catwalks above some lava, then you will like the gameplay in this map, but for all other people there just isn`t enough to keep you interested, game after game. Floorplan looks pretty random to me. Next to that the map is really open, so you get a rather high polycount at times, and pretty low FPS. But it was still more or less playable on my PC. Visually it`s ok, nothing outstanding or special but not "uber" boring either. The copied sky is fine, and lava particles live it up a bit. On a few spots there are quite a few misaligned meshes, and I also think the lightning could have been a lot better, by having some lamps around the map for instance, casting another color of light, or just pure white. Would be a good contrast with the normal redish-white with the black shadows. Other thing is that the mountains look so flat again, like in so many maps. It always looks like the mountains, and the whole world, just stop there. You don`t see any other mountains in the distance, a land that streches out deep into the horizon, nothing like that. It just stops. So in general an average map, that doesn`t really stand out.

A possible reason for a bit of slowdown on this map was the fact that the author has used two terrain brushes. It is not easy to create a map for someone elses machine.

I can't deny that DM-Burn is not a rather mediocre map, but I can't see any considerably lower framerates then in say Slaughterhouse or December.

The fps averaged 38 which is about a third of what I would expect for this type of map. Perhaps a little more attention to map playability is in order.

The map isn't awe-inspiring but there's still fun potential.
