A duel map with structure? No way!
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a bit sick of dm-morbias][ and dm-fractal for duel maps. I mean come on, apart from their theme they're basically the same map, and most the other duel maps are just simple cylinders/boxes/double cones as well. Yawn.
Well here's DM-Agugu, a pretty old map that I wish I'd have found earlier. It's small if you hadn't guessed, and has a feel like some of the best one-on-one, highly vertical maps that have populated the various Rocket Arena incarnations. Visually the map is agruably a little bare, but the texturing is clean and the lack of ornamentation isn't too noticed. Weapons are restricted to the small variety; no rockets or flak. I almost wish the shock rifle were missing as well, as the open levels make it possible to dominate for a while using the shock combo.
The only thing going against DM-Agugu is the water area, which links to the top platform with the armor. For one thing, water movement is dog slow, and this breaks the fast pace the map otherwise sets. For another, bots have no idea how to handle the water, and just float around making no attempt to get out.
So, I recommend if you play this map you play it online. And I definitely recommend playing it, it's one lovely map. Atma, I know it's been almost a year, but could you do an update fixing the bots in the water?

| Jason 'jimmer_jammer411' pina | Rating: 4.5 | | neko your totally over rating thiis map. slow down. its all square make you feel like your playing old wolf3d maps with z axis.
| Frostblood | Rating: 6.5 | | Plays OK, not great, and very boxy. RL would have been good in place of shockrifel.
| N0body | Rating: 3 | | Architecture 9.5 <-- which one?
| Agent X | Rating: 4 | | It has Z Axis. Bad lighting with super simple archetecture does not look really good here. A couple of misalignments. Flow could be improved by adding more lifts from the bottom to top floors.
| JKiller | Rating: 9 | | I like this map very much, because there is so much fun if you camp on the big Tower and kill the ather players with the Sniper Rifle !!!
| 4NK8R | Rating: 6.5 | | See above for mirrors of my thoughts on weapon choices....best thing about this map is level of fun... if playing against humans! Bot-mannequins in the water suck...furnishings are a little sparse, but give slack, fraggers;I've seen higher rated maps thatsucked big donkey dicks! Not an awful map, especially if your central tenet is gameplaying!
| Mxtrmntr 12-03-2002 08:24 AM MST | Rating: 3 | | i was just looking through the database again, and found this one... the gameplay is flawed, the map is almost offensively dull. nowhere near an 8 :|
| deathdragon 08-09-2003 06:50 PM MDT | Rating: 7 | | I like maps like these they have small arenas and are fun to play.
| RJGexplode 01-10-2004 04:30 PM MST | Rating: 9 | | This map is amazing
| grim reaper 01-11-2004 07:02 AM MST | Rating: 7 | | Good map, only the bot pathing and lightning have some bugs.
| Hourences 01-11-2004 03:19 PM MST | Rating: 2 | | fascinating to see how easily people can be influenced by marketing, publicity, or in this case a review there are hundreds of other maps out there that are far better then this one, yet even today several people still rate this map damn high, because the incredible highly scored review ?:) map is really old but even by the standards back then this is overrated, its too full of beginner mistakes and too simple and ugly
| gyokusai 02-23-2004 09:32 PM MST | Rating: 4 | | Gee, it's an okay map, but!!!
| hype 05-13-2004 10:37 AM MDT | Rating: 9 | | Superb Map. Small but perfectly formed. Where as I get bored of playing so many of the maps I download I keep coming back to this one.
