Read elsewhere about the project and the other maps that are part of it. Absolutely everything about this map has been designed with an aspect of 4on4 teamplay in mind, as such it is going to be a very boring affair in FFA or anything less than 3on3 teamplay. * balance: I've tried to give it an e1m2 feel, not much armour (YA/GA/HH), and 1 of RL/LG/NG each and 2 of GL/SSG/SNG each. Also, the RL is far away from the best armour and the quad, there should be no point in camping it. * structure: again e1m2 comes to mind but only superficially. The structure is quite flat, with the main connectivity being circular. There are smaller connects and most importantly there is a set of underwater tunnels which give you a different way to get from a to b, often unseen. All this to allow a team to effectively cover a zone. unlike e1m2 it's very roomy. * spawn: all out of site of the main campsites, so you should have a chance to run off and tool up safely. I hope. there's 10 of em. * speed: even though r_speeds aren't optimal in some borderline cases, portal wise its been optimized and it should play a lot smoother than maps with comparable r_speeds. ============================================================================== * Copyright / Permissions * This file is part of the UKPAK .zip, and should normally only be distributed as a whole. refer to the main UKPAK readme.
