	File Name dm-scorpion.zip Author Nahand Gametype UT Deathmatch Date Added 07-05-2004 File Version 1.00 File Size 905 kb Player Count 4-8 Map Description An air platform-styled map. I know most UT players don't appreciate it, but i do. Anyway, this was an old map that i wanted to get out of the way. Take a look at README file for further info. I know it's a crappy map, especially about the layout and gameplay. :p Review Rating -- User Rating 6 Overall Rating --

I know about the BSP and all the rest. Take a look at the README file... Thanks for commenting! EDIT: not merged? I must have slipped some... Every tip taken into consideration, all ;) ... hype 07-05-2004 10:03 AM MDT Rating: 7.5   You might think it's 'crappy' but I think it's pretty good. Great gameplay for maybe 2-6 players and very nice looking as well. It also runs smoothly on my crappy old machine! Nice work! milb 07-05-2004 11:51 AM MDT Rating: 7   Hey that map looks nice! Maybe a little bit undetailded, but great theme! Those little detials look really good. But the map has some probs: 1. Not enough Z-Axis fighting, I was a bored after some minutes playing! 2. Trim! Sometimes ther is trim, sometimes there’s no trim! WTH??? For example the stairs! Why is there no trim??? 3. The Lighting! Ok, it looks good. But at least you could choos HighShadowDetail!!! The sunlight looks to white! Your sunlight should have LE Cylinder! And you could use some variations of the orange! 4. The Brushes! WTH are they not merged??? All those brushes from the shapeED, why are they not merged? The lighting will be better and the polycount will be lower 5. Your map ist to static. No lighteffect ( ecept the jumppads, I think they look worng, but I can’t say why ), no other effects! But it’s a good map! Like Swanky would say: “OK Map!â€�. I give a 7!

Milb is right on the most points, but leaving out light effects make a map feel deserted and dry wich fits the sandy theme like a glove. Nice archi, bland texturing creates an above half good look. But it sure needs a *hell* lot more Z-Axis. BTW I experienced it solely as a solid DM with no CTF feel in it while DOM could once suit it as for most DM's.
