The Edge by Unknown (mail if you know who!)
Reviewed by RawShark webmaster of RawShark's Quake2 maps
Filename: q2dm1.pk3
Okay, so someone worked out how to use a Q2 to Q3 map converter - yeahhh!! I'm obviously being sarcy guys, 'cos someone put bugger all effort into a conversion of The Edge from Quake2, possibly the greatest Deathmatch map ever. The idea was there, just not the will to work. As usual with a lazy conversion like this one, the proportions are all wrong and players seem to be too big for the their surroundings.
The textures have all been ripped from the Quake2 pak files, rather than replacing them with Quake3 textures, which would have been real neat. The sky looks different, darker, but that's really all that's changed. Obviously Quake2 items have been replaced with there Quake3 Arena weapons array equivalents also. I just wish someone would convert this map properly!
As pointed out by Reactor, this map would be cool for attracting "Quake2 Lamers" to your server. It's also got a good bot file, so it's good fun offline too. Download only if you were a serious Quake2 fan and want an excuse to play on The Edge one more time. Possibly a good map to play with Coliseum mod, the Q3A reincarnation of Lithium II. Anyone seen a really good version of this map? Let me know.
