The Fugue State is a large
group of mappers that map for a number of different
games. Four of the members have joined together
to make a four map Quake3 deathmatch pack.
Circular Logic by Mark Lewis
This level was good, had some nice looking areas
and was probably the most enjoyable.
Chaos Reigns by Akuma
This looked good but I didn't like the lack
of weapons. The Railgun is the main weapon used.
Lots of action took place in the middle of the
map too, so with more weapons it could have
been very good.
Ravenous by Mike Shand
It looked brilliant. It was definitely better
looking than the first two, but unfortunately
bots don't perform well on it. On my first game
on it on it I had perfect score after 30 frags!
That was because on one side of the map you
have the pg and rl very close, then on the other
end the mh and ra! Also the main fighting took
place in the sewer/basement area, I would have
thought the huge main arena with the pendulum
would have provided a better center of action.
Demon Winds by Brian

The last map had stunning looks. But I gave
up on it as it ran too slow. There was alot
of detail and some big areas which made the
level chug along at times. Probably the best
looking map, but not playable on a p3 450, tnt2.
Overall some really good maps,
especially considering for some of these authors
it was their first Q3 AND DM release. Unfortunately
either it looks so good that it runs like crap,
or the bots are useless at them. I can't wait
for more from The Fugue State now that they
are more experienced at DM mapping.
