Addmitedly its not original, but after enjoying the Q3a version on the DC, I can see why he wanted to copy it. The textures are nice, and the mouth is pretty good looking. A smooth small blast em up map which u can't really say bad things about.

Well, fiirst of all: "Urgh, Quake"

But that's not your fault :)

There were two main things I noticed; a phantom wall coming off one side of the tongue (In pic below). High enough to walk under, but not dodge past, and low enough to walk on top of.

Texture alignment on the tongue would also have been sorted out by selecting all and aligning to floor.

Some of the geometry was a bit simple, and I thought the looks suffered a bit as a result.

I thought the Quake archways were accurately recreated while keeping te polys reasonable.

The thing I most liked was the idea of a powerful weapon costing a bit of health by means of an environmental hazard.

Damn, I thought I got rid of all tohse invisible walls. That whole area was an invisible wall/BSP error mine field.

Oh BTW, the RL isnt the most powerfull weapon in the map ;)

Ah, I see.


lucifix:

That's what I thought when I saw all the jagged cutouts. :0

Potamic also has an invisible wall... well, it had lots, but the best build had just one in a place where it hardly interfered with gameplay.
