Detailed description

Monster Castle by BoeserBub, Z1GMA, AGNX-FuBar and AGNX-RemixedCat.
This map was a joint project between us during a Coop edit session.

Monster Castle is a capture and ffa map in a castle during a full moon. It has many levels and corridors and the 7 bases are very well placed. Even though it is supposed to be at night the lighting is very well done. I expect this map would be very fun to play and a good capture challenge.

Version 2.0
A major enhancement of the map! The middle of the map has been enlarged to allow for a larger couryard between castle towers. MASSIVE details such as arches and smoothed out corners everywhere! Better texture use in many places. Drastically improved bridges and stairs. Improved ramparts (blocks on top of castle walls). More and better lighting. Some more ammo, armor, and models.

Seriously, if you can get a few friends together I DEFINITELY recommend a go on this map! Not to toot my own horn but WOW I seriously love how this came out. It looks great and is a lot of fun. I haven't played a map with this good of a layout in a wile and it is awesome!

Good work, I say!
It was nice idea to create mirrored map with many levels and corridors, playerstarts and bases placed well, too. Very nice illumination and fire particles, good geometry. Got 4/5 from me

Yes, the layout and placement seems very good;
I would say you could do some optical improvements still ... maybe even broaden those stairs in the keeps a tad?
But I would really like to see you make the jumppads more ... exotic than a lil' ol texture on the floor :-P
I'll rate it 3 now - but it's sure to be 4 with some more for the eye,
of course, you'd need to noclip/clip some of your additional geometry - the player should move through what is there now ... but the eye should see more detailing on the walls etc. - at least IMHO that would keep the map from being dropped sooner than it should deserve because people were bored with it visually!
I think you can even get 5 stars out of me .. but I only give those to especially well done pieces of art ;-)

Keep at it!

MASSIVE OVERHAUL!! Big enough to be called version 2.0

So something more for the jump pads MeatROme? Ok I'll look into it. I didn't see your post before I did this so it didn't get included in this release. Otherwise with everything else done I'm hoping for 5 stars.

From the screenshot to the actual level design, I was genuinely impressed. The gameplay was great, there were lots of places to run and hide! ^_^ I also liked the torches and the dark atmosphere, although it does get a bit too dark at times. If you could find and add rain particle effects to the map, it would add to the overall atmosphere. Imo, anyway. Overall, I'm gonna hafta give it a 4/5 for now. Improve the map, and I'll give it closer to a 4.5/5. Keep it up!
