Detailed description

wake5 aka Greyskull is a fast map meant to be played 1on1 FFA or instagib but it is fun with up to four players. rocket-, rifle-, grenade-, or chaingun-jumps are encouraged!

Thanks to all the testers.

UPDATE: wake5b is available, it is MUCH better for competetive 1on1 matches and you can get it here:

Interesting map with nice theme and atmosphere. And a good usage of these "older" textures.
The quality of most maps seems (IMO) based too much on the normal mapped texture sets these days. :(
Makes it easy to forget about gameplay.
Of course this isn't the case here. This map is balanced and seems fun to play. :)
Though I don't know if the single Egyptian textures really fit the theme. But that's only me. :P
And you could have put some of these new smoke particles above the lava "river"...
3.9/5

wurfel almost said it all for me already ..
.. I especially agree with smoke particles over the lava enhancing the athmospheric feel of that part of the map - while on that subject: it feels like a few more breaks in the walls, like some torches at least or some alcoves with statues/ornaments/what-have-you, were all that's needed to make this into a classic-to-be - meaning I'd like to see it in the official set!

details, details ... oh yes, ... those pieces of tiling littered about the map ... mmh, well, where do they come from? Shouldn't they be indented/missing rather than ... well ... some Alzheimer ridden castle constructor having forgotten half his work materials after finishing the job so nicely?!?! You know what I mean?
And the absolutely last iota would be for the lava-tunnel to not end so abruptly, sure you never really get to look into there while fragging ... but just as that final touch ... some grating at least or so, where I can imagine the lava keeps flowing ...

To be honest i was out of useful textures in the standard set... i tried to use as few mapmodels as possible, the map is intended to have a uninterrupted gameplay flow, it would be a pity if slower pc's have to leave 10 fps just because of particles. I really could make the lava flow longer, mayb i will fix that soon. Thanks for the useful feedback!

Particles won't do all that much to slow down an older PC. Too many mapmodels, though, and it'll grind to a halt.

Superb 1on1 action. Players almost always moving at maximum speed. Especially love the armour over the lava. 5/5

Very good map, great layout. only complaint I have is that I can´t get to that tower! :D Why did you have to clip the roof?? It´s hard enough to access allready.
