Reviewer AMmayhem Awe Score:  2.5/3 Date 08-11-2004 Build Score:  2.5/3 Review Schema Cast Score:  2.0/3 User Point:  +1 Overall Score:  8.0/10 AWE: 2.5 By this point now, I shouldn't really need to tell how good a map looks that KaMi has made; it just goes with out saying, it looks damned good. Supports angled into stern, punishing positions. Well recessed lights, which cast shadows upon the colorfully lit surroundings. Deep blue lighting in the blue base, with subtle green lights adding into the mix. The red base has yellow coloring to it, which is rare to see, and looks great here. Here again, KaMi has ported UT200* textures for usage, and of course, look awesome. The only real complaint I have is the center area is a bit on the bland side, a lot of gray texturing. BUILD: 2.5 Again, don't need to say much here. The map is solid, and I didn't have any problems running it. A few noticeable sounds, but not a whole lot. The map is zoned off, and has location strings. The skybox has a nice, yet bizarre, sudden change from orange to a dark blue. CAST: 2 The gameplay just seemed to lack a little. Bots took the lower route most of the time, with some taking the sniper roost for a path out of the base. I don't think I saw any of them grab the U-damage. Bots still grab and cap the flag without problems, aside from blood-thirsty opponents that is. Though the map isn't small by any means, it still has this compact feel to it. Weapons seem a little too close together by the flag, one can grab the shock, pulse, and flak in the matter of 2 seconds. Still, no major flaws that impede the gameplay. The map flows well. SCORE: 7 I still like how KaMi is able to make odd colors look good in maps. Not as impressive as other maps from KaMi, but is still an awesome map, and definately worth the download.

Oh, and Kami, is there supposed to be a big, square, orange sun visible during play?? :P To see what I mean, ride either elevator in one of the bases and as you exit, look up.

Architecture's not a knockout, but it's still good, and yes, bot pathing's not that good either. The visuals are tremendous though! Great lighting and texturing, and this definitely shows youth in the ever-aging UT! Great stuff by KaMi. GTD-Carthage 06-11-2004 01:48 AM MDT   The "ChicoRuinsPack" texture package is missing...

I looked and found there is no detail textures used on the ones in ,mylevel, Im sure you know about doing that,but can only people with opengl using compressed texture setting see that detail texture?And also that "quality" property of texture if both of those are set to true for both settings does it do anything? And why is the sun a square patch? I don't do much ctf so i'll leave the score on this to the pro's Map looks nice,don't run slow,again nice sky area. quillion 08-12-2004 10:22 AM MDT Rating: 8.5   i hate Kami's maps, even worse when it's CTF. in DM i'm to busy looking at the decor and die! in CTF i always loose;) i dont even go for the flag again, to busy looking around:) as usual stunning stuff.

But lookswise i think it's better than SiberiaN23. Coolest use of color i've seen in a while. AND based on my running around in it alone, it doesn't lag on my puter!! EDIT: Yeah, it plays, so i'll rate it!!
