First map ever, "a bit heavy" but hope someone likes it. ~3 weeks non-stop-mapping, blood, sweat and tears. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

This is probably the best "first map" I've ever seen... It isn't even possible to compare this to what I produced as a first map when I started mapping

I really love the atmosphere, and the details, oooh the details... There are also alot of "jumping potential". Looks to be a good layout, and should play pretty well... I was going to say that there wasn't enough sounds in there, but then I noticed them

they just fit so good into the atmosphere that I didn't really "hear" them at first.

There are one real minus as I see it...
I'm sure there will be people not really comfortable with the 5000 r_speeds

Most of us won't notice that, but if you have a little more dated computer this could really be a problem. High r_speeds also tend to affect network performance, so we'll just have to wait and see how that works out.

GREAT JOB NEME!! keep going!

Next time you make a really nice 'intro' picture, turn off your hud and it will look even nicer

It looks good and I guess it's pretty nice to play too. Tested it on my own server for a while so dunno how it works in teamplay.

One thing keeps bothering me in new maps (generally speaking!). Almost everyone seems to put more effort on the looks of the map than on the playability (is that even a word BD). Ofcourse it is nice when the map looks nice but at least for me, it's a lot more important that it's fun to play the map. I dunno will this, bloodpsa, be only a nice looking map or will it be nice to play too. I have my fingers crossed for the previous option.

Anyway, gj!

Thnx for everyones nice words, warms my heart cause theres so much effort and time put in this. I tried to make it look good but also make it playable since as we all know, AQ2 map is nothing without good playability (weird fucking words ;D). I uploaded it to DuraWorks if someone is up for a test-drive. ;)

Constructive critisism. If people don't like it, they can fuck off.

At last... I've been waiting this since... you know... long!

I like it's playability (is it even a word?

). And it sure looks very nice too. GJ!

Already ideas for new map?

Nice map, reminds me alot of Plaza3 with nice textures, but heres alot more roofs and "hidable" places instead of brightopen-areas.. nice work !, hope this map will be prisiouated at publics also.
