***QUAKE3STUFF MAP COMPETITION ENTRY***
The Pharaoh's Revenge by PeaceFrog
Reviewed by RawShark webmaster of RawShark's Quake2 maps
Filename: peacefrog.pk3
Map set inside a large pyramid structure with acceleration pads that through you ridiculous distances up into the pyramid to acquire weapons, armour and health. And it's fun! You would think looking at this map at first that's it's simply too big for 1on1 and that your FPS is going to go through the roof, but this not the case. It's not exactly aesthetically pleasing, nor is it highly original (in fact it's quite plain) but this map sure is highly playable - if you like arial combat that is. You can stay constantly in motion picking up heavy weapons like the RL and RG, as well as power-up items like Quad, Flight and Invisibility (you can grab 3 or 4 items in 2 or 3 jumps and have them all at once!). I like the way there are weapons to pick on launching off the pads and armour to pick up in your flight path. I don't like the use of the red and blue CTF flags in the map and I think the bot file could be better. Not the world's greatest map, but fun for a while. Oh, and I was really scared by the skeleton guy coming up out of the Fog of Death (not!). Peace.
