Xerenia2: Invasion
for some reason i felt this one was an overrated mappack, i enjoyed most of Ezkeel's work including the original xerenia, Ezkeel wasnt always know for the good graphics although he can sometimes impress us with something like the white palace, but this mappack was just plain ugly compared to the first, it was quite fun at the start, but the puzzle map really dragged it down for me, it was a cool concept to have puzzles like moving platforms over lava and a giant chessboard, but the entire level just didnt make any sense, the entire place has no purpose, the race or person who built that must have had a twisted mind and therefore ruining the entire story and moral of the game.

horrible, just horrible, the music still haunts me (i hate loud vocal MIDI'S)
and there are a few levels which are a huge waste of space on this planet, like a level which was nothing more then a huge substracted cube with twelve titans in it and the player spawning at 20m above floor falling to death, or another one which was a modified dark arena which had all the textures changed to the animated fractal ones, a ****load of decorations placed and a few randomly substracted cubes, the player exploded upon launching the level because the author didnt rebuild (at least the author cared enough to add a full readme, in which he said something like "i am really proud of this map, i can see myself becoming a professional game designer soon, maybe next time i will build a map from scratch"), for the people who built this i wish a painfull slow death
neonite: to some point i have to agree with your opinion on the elder and attacked, they do get very repetetive (especially in coop, where you have to walk the entire thing over again after you die) and the unfair combat at most times, although i dont exactly see them as bad maps
there are quite a few other maps that have very primitive and ugly designs although which i still enjoyed abit therefore not exactly being bad to me (for example this map called cherokee which was probably designed by a retarded 3 year old, yet i had some fun exploring it since its quite huge)
