COMMENTS

Confusingly large until you have been everywhere and then you wouldn't have it any smaller.  This is a good map to show that small maps need to be bigger and that big maps need NOT dilute GamePlay.  It becomes sort of a large map punctuated by small areas that feel claustrophobic at times.  Still, a player's ability to get from place to place is not only easy but (personally speaking) a treat.  Come on - I mean, jumping from a walkway to a roof top and back to a different walkway is fantasy in real-life but Oh-So rewarding as a computer character; admit it.  It is also laced with (appropriate) dark areas that, until you get a feel for tossing flares (which add considerable atmosphere) you will grope.  It has a second floor (preferred by this player) that consists of a remarkable maze-like quality; well thought out.  There are additional added pluses that make this an example of a High GamePlay Unreal map.  I'm not fond of this "dark areas" feature but AngLoiD must be and ... "that's good enough for me".  d:-)
PS: Don't come here alone (large maps always REQUIRE several players); the more the merrier.
