The ever turbulent waves are a mere façade for the silence of the deep. Little is left of the serenity of the sea nowadays, for human creation has corrupted it's gently sloping and rolling hills of sand, rock and coral. Originally built to fuel ships of war for their pointless ventures, Aquatica Submarinal Refuel Station landmarked human defilement of nature like no other. Closed down due to low budgets, but still in near perfect condition, the installation was easily bought up by Liandri, turning the structure into a Tournament venue, with the sole purpose of fueling the hunger for bloodsport of millions of fans. Now, peace of mind in this eerie place can only be obtained by emerging victor over your enemy....

Tuokool 04-23-2006 07:23 AM MDT Rating: 8.5   I decided to take a look at your LE version of aquatica, and compare it with the original version. 1stly, the frame rates are much better in this version, as to be expected with all the changes you've listed. I'm glad the minigun is in this version, I'm not sure why you didn't sqeeze in the pulse too tho? Maybe it would be too much... The extra room feels good, and the general unclutterdness is a nice change. I haven't played it enough to comment about the weapon/ammo changes yet, except to say I didn't notice anything "wrong" so far. Anyone who had trouble with frame rates will appreciate the differences, and I think also competetive gamers too. You've done well to maintain the general feel/atmosphere of the original, while taking away alot of things. GW man, I hope it's well recieved. souldividersjosz 04-24-2006 04:24 AM MDT   Actually TuoKool, the Link is in the basement of the map! I'm glad you like it. T2A: There's spawns behind the LG and link as well, so you won't just get either bio or rox ;) Glad you like it Turns2Ashes 04-23-2006 05:23 PM MDT   I like it. Don't really like how you either get a bio rifle or rockets on spawn, but whatever. I'm glad the mini and link aren't in the spawn rooms because having those too near the flag sucks. :-)
