I wanted to review more recent
levels, but I couldn't find anything recent
that is really worth it. So I ended up playing
(yet again) one of my all-time favourites. Maybe
it's not quite up to todays standards of top
levels (and this was only released half a year
ago!), but it was definitely my favourite when
it first appeared in March.
Wiebo de Wit has made a few levels - two very
early releases for Q2SP, and also the popular
Overkill for Quake3 and recently Toxic Skirmish,
but Sinister Purpose is my favourite so far.
It's not different to ID's levels in design,
with the gothic textures. But Wiebo has also
including some nice outdoor terrain areas. It
looks very good, as the side of the gothic structure
gives way to a short cliff. This gives the entire
level and great atmosphere as you battle on
multiple levels.
Connectivity is good, with
a number of teleports and steps between each
of the levels. Sinister Purpose is not a big
map though, with about 4 players being enough.
Overall a classic gothic level,
with a good layout and adequate eye candy.
