***QUAKE3STUFF MAP COMPETITION ENTRY***
Toxic Skirmish by Wiebo de Wit

A bit of a take on Q2DM7, The Slimy Place, but not quite as good because it's nowhere near as big. It's a damn fine piece of mapping, no doubts, and is one of the best Tech style maps I've seen in a while - I just wish it had of been a bit more roomy! It's a real good Rocket Launcher versus Grenade Launcher type arena if you're into that sort of thing. The main feature here is the height of the ledges and the positioning of the bounce pads - this map is all about something I was never quite good at, jumping. Strafe jumps, double jumps, double strafe jumps, double strafe jumps off bounce pads with double backflip and Rocket jump landing (?!) - whatever your speciality is, it's probably quite possible in this cleverly disguised circus arena. But be careful with all that jumping around that you don't land yourself in the slime - there's nothing more embarrassing than a player killed himself message being broadcast over the server!
I really liked the hidden teleporter that can get you out of a fix, and the "No Swimming" custom texture is both amusing and well done. I like this map, but recommend it for 1on1 only. Bot file is pretty good - but you should still win if you're any way good. Great work by a very promising mapper - I'm looking forward to the next one :)
