At first glance
this runic-style map appears to be decked in
classic id metal, but look again: Kingpin textures
adorn the walls, while id metal acts as trim.
There are also swathes of discoloured planking,
which looks a little strange at first. However,
you'll soon get used to it.
Architecturally, it's a large two-level atrium
with a split level floor and three side pods
holding stairwells and heavy weapons. Curved
buttresses and cutouts in the walls frame nice
views of the blood red sky. This is a relatively
simple, straightforward layout and you'll know
it like the back of your hand in no time.
Low end/software users should give this map
a miss due to r_speed issues: in the central
atrium there's almost constant greyflash if
you look along the long diagonal. R_speeds tended
to reach 700 and above. On my box anyway.
DM is a slugfest with people running inside
for weapons and outside again for ammo and fraggies.
If your system can handle it, give the map a
whirl.
A Single Player version is included which blocks
off the stairwells, and you have to get runes,
kill all monsters, repeat until the exit opens.
Great stuff.
