I think it was worth the effort. I made some modifications to it after the release of the Quake2 MOD called Awakening 2, which can be found @ http://planetquake.com/awakening2/ I added the sewer pit at the bottom of the main room, so you can pick up your enemies with the new Anti-Gravity Manipulator gun and drop them into it. It's hard to get out of it without a hook. This map is now ready to be played on Awakening 2. So download this new MOD and try it out, it's really great! I designed this map with a neon color theme in mind (Neonopolis). Each main room has a colored neon floor and each teleporter has a color that matches with the room it transports you to. I thought this was a cool idea. Haven't seen it before. This map has a sewer trap, which is activated by a floor switch. Make sure you grab the environment suit before you hit the button. he he It has a moving platform to an upper deck and 2 elevators. The map has a large feel, but with the 3 teleporters, even with 3 players you should see lots of action! Many dark places to hide and camp in this one. This map has a rotating sky, which I think looks cool. It has every weapon, some more than once. No secrets and no invulnerability. Hope you like it!! If the sky doesn't look right, make sure you have your VIDEO - 8-BIT TEXTURE set to "NO", this will correct the problem.
