I've added this to our JK2 server (not in rotation).
Pretty cool, though /methinks there will be a few of you who (like in the original Bespin) won't enjoy the framerates. JB -------------------- Yellow Is Golden

I agree... the screenshots looked pretty snappy, but after running around and getting horrible fps, (and realizing the map has NO flow to it) I think it is not worth the DL... unless used for a sniper game or something.

Not to mention that it's simply enormous.

So is sublime... but one can get around it without losing patience.... pretty much.
Enormity is not nec. the problem. Sloppy mapping with too many semi-transparent and curved surfaces is. --Rugg -------------------- Oobawanga wata chopay polah.

Exactly. It still "feels big," though.
This map gave me the same feeling that the redone 2fort4 map (32smooth) did when it was released for TeamFortress/Quake. Someone had taken the very publicly played 2fort4 map and enhanced (stretched, enlarged, etc), it to accomodate the maximum possible 32 player scenario. Unfortunately, the scale was all wrong. It made you feel like an ant on a very large surface (not unlike the Bathroom map from Unreal - which, I think you remember Ruggie). I'd have to hook up a second keyboard for all of my teleport points. JB -------------------- Yellow Is Golden
