From the sky box, it looks like you're going for like a cloudy night or something. It's too gray for night. It ends up looking lukewarm and a little washed out. The light radii on the torches needs to be a little bigger to provide some actual contrast. That and the texturing just doesn't do this much for the place. These kind of environments usually fare better under full light. I.E. Morning or evening or late afternoon. Something like that. Night has to be executed well or it just ends up being shelved with the rest of the lot. This is all I caught in a 3 minute run. I'll get back to it later.

Lots of z-axis. - Items are OK placed too. - Both indoor & outdoor zones. - Good bots, they know how to slopedodging (like DM-Rankin)... Not good: - Very nice architecture, but the same textures are used again & again through the map. I think the wall textures should have been scaled down a bit more... I agree the lighting could have been better. - In my opinion, framerates destroyed this great map: Some places ran really smooth, but some others ran terribly. That confuses me so I could not play the level as well as I would have liked... Sorry, I had to low my score cause that. Maybe in newest machines it run OK... ;) Fuzzy Logic 01-20-2005 12:09 PM MST Rating: 6.5   OMG! That 3.03Mb download is actually 29.2Mb... An OK map. Not spectacular enough or different enough to warrant staying on my HD for long. Plays well though with a decent layout. Bots do a good job of making things interesting though. Same comment as others on the lighting. Giving that a re-work will improve the map no end. Manticore 02-16-2006 05:26 AM MST Rating: 7   Good layout. Decent construction. Worth a look....
