I added some particle effects and updated the ZIP files. Will probably be the last time I mess with it.

Hmmm i am critical to your map , because it´s just ....... an empty field :( with three towers, too much mapmodels, cruel design , cruel geometry

Practice mapping as often as you can , i believe on you ^^

But for this i cant give you more than 2/10

I'm just a cruel person, with a crude understanding of Engrish.

Like I said last time I posted it, it's designed for playability (like boxy capture_night and wdcd). It's not a work of art like most of the maps included with the game that nobody ever plays (like the very pretty aqueducts and thor).

Thanks for the two points, that's a real motivator... to do something else.

ok ...
good try....
on your next map heres something to ponder on ... look at 2 points on your map... for example the top of one of the towers .. and the top of the other... in map design we look for having no-liniarity .... or not one way... think of all the ways i can go... without dying ... as a line... and each different way a branch...

if i start on top of the one tower... i have one way to go .... down the stairs... on the next floor the same thing... and the same thing... its a strait line.... then i get to the bottom... and i have 2 options .... through the tunnel or across the open map.... then for now i decide to go out the door and start across the map ... i have one option ... to go in the door on the other side ... and then from there i have one more option to go up all of the stairs .... and then i arive at the top....

if i go the other way thro the tunnel ... i have 2 ways when i get to the water hole ... i can go thro the water and then follow the other path or i can continue striat and then meet the other path at the stairs

here is a visual representation

0 NOTHING- SPACE
1 going across the map
2 going thro the tunnel
3 going down the tunnel to the water pipe then following 1

I intentionally limited the ways down by putting a kill clip over two stories tall. My thinking was there are three kinds of players: One-on-one dueling guys who will like the floor/stair encounters without worrying about some camper taking shots at them, snipers who like places up high to hide/shoot and peeps who are in it more to run around and explore the map (and get shot at by those same campers/snipers.). I tried to accommodate all three types but admit my lack of artistic skill might not impress the latter group. So in an effort to improve in that area I've added more theme-related objects, am using some new textures and I just plain went hog wild with the particle effects. I also tried making it CTF-friendly but as you noted that kind of game-play really needs freedom of movement, so I took the flags back out. Still works best for team or solo death matches.

is this an update ... if so ... then u need to put UPDATE and the date in the title bar so ppl no...

Crito | 2010-03-04 05:38

Update, tested, very playable. I went a little crazy with the particle effects but they're just so much fun to mess with.

Crito | 2010-05-19 02:16

Yeah, my suck map is still going. This time I've added a treehouse to snipe from and an underground nuclear reactor to trip and fall into.

URL is gone and I'm cleaning house, so here's the last edit I made for anyone who wants it. Bye...
