Another Quake2 to Quake3 conversion that maybe shouldn't have seen the light of day, or needs at least a texture rework. If you don't have a good graphics card or enough RAM to turn the details up high, this map looks like dung! This is a terrible pity, because the playability is excellent, reminding me a lot of the all time playable Q2DM1 in places. Like that map, this one has 2 RLs, a GL and a Railgun - the weapons combination required for a solid DM (I'm showing off my knowledge of quake mapping here - sorry!). Also, it has an even mix of inside, outside and underwater action, as well as above ground and underground action. Do I need to keep pointing out similarities to The Edge?
I just don't think that the author has done justice to the original map. He simply opened it up in Q2toQ3A and converted it. Minimum effort. It would have benefited immensely from some well thought out texturing and lighting. The bot file is just okay too, could be better. This in one for LAN parties held by people who possess Voodoo3, S3Savage4 and GeeForce video cards only. If you have an ATI and an insane amount of RAM (like yours truly) you might just slip past the doormen .....
