Map Info
	File Name dm-evildead.zip Author Mic Gametype UT2k3 Deathmatch Date Added 09-30-2003 File Version 1.00 File Size 2.46 mb Player Count 4-16 Map Description This map is based from the "Evil Dead" movie. It's a recreation of the main living room from the movie. This is a "Giant Map" themed level. I only put about 16 hrs. into this map, but its still vary fun to play. I worked as much as a could on getting the AI to use all of the level. The map contains stuff like new textures and custom meshes. Please add this to you list of servers if your a fan of "Giant" maps. If you have questions about the level, or suggestions for when I build the rest of the cabin, just drop me a email.

Reviewer Mister_Prophet Awe Score:  1.0/3 Date 10-21-2003 Build Score:  1.5/3 Review Schema Cast Score:  0.5/3 User Point:  +1 Overall Score:  4.0/10 Evil Dead being one of my most favorite films, and Evil Dead being one of the most ball rocking cult classics ever made, I admit…I went into this one with high expectations. It is a “Me=Smallâ€� map folks, you know…where the whole map is centered in one big room and you and other combatants fight like termites over giant furniture, books, tables, window frames, and other stuff that would be in a room. Most Me=Small mappers make maps based off their room…or a bathroom, or a kitchen table…but the author of DM-EvilDead made the choice to make his map in the cabin room from the Evil Dead Movies. Visually, he does do a good job making some meshes from the film, which I did like. What I didn’t like was the lack of cool skybox, lighting, and just about everything else often done with these maps. Textures are all huge, naturally, but this makes them look crappy most of the time. Lighting is what you’d expect, large white light filling the map with illumination, without much effort put into it. Basically, it looks like…what we call in the industry, a “roomâ€�. The style and design here is reminiscent of UT1 rate graphics, only the appearance of the meshwork gives the place the presence of UT2K3 level visuals, and it is more of a reminder that you are playing UT2K3 rather than a sign that UT2K3 has good graphics. At least he wasn’t ghey and put a giant porno mag on the table like the other Me=Small mappers (*Sigh*, Virgin gamers) Game-play. Well, it is what you would expect. There are always those people who think maps like these have simply the best gameplay EvAr. You have lots of running between large chunks of furniture for both cover and nabbing the various supplies that lie along the floor, and tele-spots for teleporting you from one part of the map to another. Hitscan and long range weapons dominate, the presence of the Bio rifle made me laugh so hard blood came out of my anus and I freaked out cus I thought I was having my period, but then I remembered that I am a dude so all was well. Bots suck in this map, as they suck in every Me=Small map I have come across, and I owned them easily, plus bots get stuck in some parts. I didn’t find the gameplay appealing, it follows the basic principles of any Me=Small map, which means that is it as stimulating as watching ants screw. The Prophet’s Verdict: I smiled when I saw the theme, since I love the film, but the theme is a gimmick only and this is still a tired and weary Me=Small map, when you get right down to it. Sure enough, people are already giving this maps 8s and 9s, but they are only rating it cus they like the movie. Either that are they are idiots. “Give me some sugar, baby!â€� No review screenshot available

Obi-Wan 10-08-2003 02:59 PM MDT Rating: 4   hahaha lol! if you really really really really like these "omfg im so small" maps,,, then.. maybe... erm.... no nevermind Mic 10-08-2003 10:58 AM MDT   This level is very much themed like the movie. And I'm a big fan of Giant maps. As far as giant maps go, it falls some where in: not as good as bathroom, but better then the living room. avatar 10-20-2003 10:19 PM MDT Rating: 2   Themewise it's decent- unfortunately that's all it's good for.. just looking at. It's literally unplayable unless you play in some form of low low (double low?) grav. The mapper seems to have talent and an eye for detail. It may have been salvageable for low grav if there were pickups in the middle and maybe some additional stuff (a ball? a shotgun on the ground? a corpse of a zombie from EvilDead - anything to break up that floor from feeling like a horrible Tom Petty song). edit: horned demon, because it's basically a box?

But I really like this map...I think its theme is well presented,runs smooth and is a breath of fresh air to the usally bull**** of the castle and hallway maps.I will admit,one needs to play this with Low gravity plus trans.It's a fun map and all servers running LOW G need this one. Thumbs UP! horned demon 10-28-2003 09:19 PM MST Rating: 8   you may not like low grav but why the hell whould anyone give this map a 1 or 2 score? i mean thats the score you give a map that's just a box with a flak gun in the middle.this map looks good runs smooth bots r ok, weapon placement needs some work but thats it. [edit] yes avatar it is a box . but it might be this dudes first map, and you gota admit you have seen worst for first timers. [edit] prophet i know it lacks alot of stuff, but you know at least it looks and runs decent, too many maps i d/l have too many lights flashing and crap happing that slows my framerate. witch sucks becuse i just got a nvidia 5200. besides, im a cheap fuck that likes to snipe alot >=). NOTE: prohpet please review dm-SPA for me i requested it ...over a year ago...by anyone Cobra 10-21-2003 02:33 AM MDT Rating: 8   Never mind the bad comments. Good map man!. My only complaint is the bots. They need work. Some just stand there and don't move.

No, that kinda map would get a .5 I love Evil Dead, and it is because I love the film that I can't give this map a good score, gimmick theme aside, this is a lackluster map with problems, and even as a ME=Small map, it is inferior. generator 10-23-2003 09:08 AM MDT Rating: 4   I hate this "one-giant-room-maps"! But this one is better than the others... LIM 10-26-2003 12:40 PM MST Rating: 3   Only gets 3 from me 'cause there's no boomstick on it. Shoulda included the spaz 12 gauge, or some sound bites from the movie. :p Other than that yeah Me=Big is played out and umm,...how would the uber gamers put it..."suxxorz" ? As far as map making goes tho I'd say 8 for construction and tech.
