This is a quite hilarious short, fast paced map. It is done in a medieval theme, with very simple, angular blocky architecture (fast build time!). However, each blocky room does have at least one wall decoration to reward the player for moving from room to room. The layout is similarly very simple, the original id maps have more multileveled areas and interconnection than this map. There are a couple decent looking areas later in the map, the only really interesting looking area is a small outdoor courtyard with zombies, which is also one of the more fun fights. Anyway, the emphasis here is on running basically full speed through these large areas, and blasting enemies (especially groups of hell knights) with the double shotgun and grenade launcher (the latter is especially satisfying, explosives tend to be held back a lot these days). This map, I’d say, brings absolutely nothing new to the table, at all – except one weird wall decoration consisting of gargoyle horns (nice to see that new runic decorations can still be made out of the same textures after so long!) – but, the map is still fun, just don’t expect anything on par with id’s originals or current standards.

Score: 12/20

   Don’t worry Ron is the way this community is! if isn’t already dead, some people are making all the efforts to make it dead.

   woah guys, I wasn’t trying to be harsh. I don’t think the review was unfair or unfriendly. Reviewing, I hope, is a way to keep it from being dead!

   I removed one extremely disgusting and comment that was insulting me.

   Keep the language on a friendly level and don’t insult people, I will not tolerate that on this site.

   Reviews are subjective. So Tronyn did not like this map as much as the others. Big deal. I liked this one better than Veni and would put Grendel way ahead of both. That’s what different taste does. In any case, 12/20, 3/5 is definitely something I personally consider good.

   I like music other people would call noise. I dislike movies some people consider masterpieces. We can make up our own minds, thus we are bound to have different opinions.

   Good.

   While I was not the one who banned from IRC, I would have done so seconds later. The reason should be quite clear: Blatant racism. I still have the logs.

   Why would I respond to your insults? If you check, then maybe you will realise that I did not react at all to your personal attacks.

   This site is not a democracy, but it is also not anarchy (probably what you actually meant). Definitely not. But I do my best to make it fair and a welcoming place to visit.

   Stop harassing and stop flamebaiting.

   I sincerely hope you will be happy.

   #Trinca I thought this map was fun. You said yourself that it was made with very little time, and it didn’t contain as much detail. And I agree. The texture alignment is definitely better than id’s maps. But Ids maps are much more compact and condensed, so the layouts have more details if you see what I mean. I mean 12/20 is definitely “better than average”, so OK, Tronyn reviewed it, if you started writing reviews of peoples maps then maybe people would read your reviews. Doesn’t mean either of you would be right or wrong.
   Just be glad that someone reviewed it, and that people sent you demos, and we all enjoyed playing it. Just cause one person didn’t say that sun shines out of your ass doesn’t mean you should go crazy and have a big tantrum. Thats how jealous children behave, not adults.
   I enjoyed the map, but there are a lot of bigger, more detailed maps with more interesting gameplay out there, and i think 12/20 is a fair score. Im sorry, I dont want to upset you, but I am being honest. And surely honesty is much more valuable than false praise. Which is more important to you, the truth about a person’s opinion, or having people say nice things to you to make you feel good even though that’s not what they really think, or because they are scared you will have a big tantrum? I know which I would prefer.
