Difficulty Settings: nope Base System: Celeron 333-not oc'd /128 RAM /Voodoo2 Blackmajic Player load : ARGH-COUGH-BLEHHH !!! (i hate this catagory) this map plays well for 1 on 1 and : i think 2-6 ffa seems to be about right it boils down to personal opinion dosn't it ? * i am no good at makin bot routes, the Erasers i use don't like the jump pads anyway but if you (read whoever) can make and send me a good one i'd be indebted =) * *BUILD INFO* Build Time: 14 hours Utilities Used: *Tread *more Tread *and even more Tread, it has it all. Build Machine(s): same as above Final Compile Machine: " " " QBSP3 : 8 secs. QVIS3 : 243 secs. QRAD3 : 280 secs. Known Bugs: Most likely, a "hom" for sure , man those are hard to get rid of *INSTALLATION* if you got this zip file intact just aim this puppy at your baseq2 folder and let go. *NOTES* The case is made in this map that great textures can make an ok map better (opinion Maric) Ok this one turned out much better then i hoped, it is brimming with curves and long sight lines with many firing solutions and yet the speeds stay well within acceptible limits. I could only find two spots that were above 600 the rest seem to avg. around 300-400. All the goodies are there minus the bfg and pa and bh, i did leave the health and ammo a little on the slim side so shoot well and move alot. OH YEAH please let me know what you think good or bad, i'm not overly sensitive either just go easy with the harsh language, remember we live in a "society". A few are at one of my clans WoD server at 24.113.104.178 You will need to install the WoD mod to benefit the most in there. Say "hey" to all the LOF peops you see there. Give a "hey" to all the [GoTH] folks you see also. Please drop by and look for either Maric or Havok *COPYRIGHT/PERMISSIONS* "Marics16 & "Watch You Back !" is Copyright (c) 2000 by Shon M.
