"When I played it, the end room was, errr, flooded..."

That doesn't invalidate anything that than said. :) Find a dry spot to shoot from. 

Do you play with autoaim or something? 

sv_aim 2, non-inverted, no crosshair. The way it is meant to be played ;)

If you were watching the demo and thought I was too accurate, it's just because I know where everthing is. 

here is my skill 3 demo/ 22min. 101/102 kills
5/8 secrets

What does "sv_aim 2" do to the aiming? 

disables any auto-aiming (normally Quake does some vertical help). Anything above 1 disables if I recall correctly.

Every \m/ true \m/ Quaker has sv_aim 666 in his config. ;) 

Oh OK, I usually just go with 1.0. :P 

Hawter than fizzy peach drink. Will d/l it when I get home. And find my Quake 'CD'... 

In the demo it seems that you are often aiming above an enemy but still hit it with the shotty. That's odd. 

Oh, I get it now. Bit of an odd one that. Very easy if you get it right and very hard if you don't. 

How the fuck do I get to the MH that's partway down the main lift shaft?

The interconnectivity and compactness of this map is astounding. It makes the best Sadlark maps seem like sprawling messes. 

"How the fuck do I get to the MH that's partway down the main lift shaft? "

I never got that either. Not sure what it wanted me to do there. 

! 

Waht to say about this level except it is awesome. Architecturally this one of the better map I've ever saw.

Gameplay is also very good, while I would have fill the area with more monsters in some areas... though.. However, ammo/monster/health balance is good, while I found the map quite easy...

Also, maybe the ambience could have been improved with some custom sounds, but with this foggy effect: it is very good already !

Only complain: I've been lost for a while before finding the way to the vermis... at least I had time to visit the map ;)

Very good release: I wanna play more ! go map 

that someone hasn't already said?

Impressive on every count.

Maybe I'm the only one who loved the gameplay as all the others factors.
For example the fights were so much fun! Fighting the soldier guys in these tight halls was challenging. I found my self taking cover. In quake. You really made it right. 

There is something that has not been honored yet. The fantastic sounds (JPL, play with the soundtrack ;) ). The cdtrack fits the map so well. There are just the right ambience sounds on just the right places. And the monsters feel totally in place.

I have no yet finished it, searching for the progression after the silver key & very low on health.

Since this, as it's the first map this year, simply cannot be the best map of this year just yet, there's got to be something so fricking amazing later in the year my yaw will fall off and start fellatio or what? ;) Well, it will be damn damn hard to top this. FHSFNSFHSFNNG! 

Way to take the wind out of everyone's sails this year, ASSHOLE! :) 

Haaaa!

Jaw, UP! You nasty thing. 

I found this too convoluted to enjoy: my play time was a ridiculous 73:01, and you can bet I wasn't having any fun for the last forty minutes of that. The cheap boss fight didn't help. Was I *really* meant to stand in one place holding mouse1 to win the level?

Visually and architecturally the entire level is brilliant, possibly the most cohesive and structurally clever quake map I've seen. The gameplay, though, doesn't work for me. 

Finished, loved it. Such atmosphere.
I am not sure these are all the demos, but hey. http://www.quaketastic.com/upload/files/demos/apsp2_spirit.zip 

you rock beyond reality.
this is the best level i ever played!
thanks for quality quake experience, atmosphere, balance and end boss. it was perfect!

thou art rock! 

I'm with you on the gameplay thing, it was good, and suited the map well. Almost every enemy counted in it, which is a welcome change of pace from horde combat. Felt like it was supposed to in a base like that. I like the RL/GL as well, much better choice than SNG, the limited rockets meant you could use it to take the sting out of situations a bit, but couldn't be wasteful. 

it should have been very slightly harder, but I forgot to flag a couple of items dm only and didn't notice until after release :( Still, it didn't ruin it or anything.

Again, thanks for the comments. Just to let you guys know, Ricky has a really big map that is of a high quality in beta, so maybe this will be topped very quickly :) 

your map is classic quake gold. even though its quoth! I just think that the brushwork is phenomenal. Some of the textures I dont know where they came from. Did you make any of these yourself Than? Like the one on the edie crates, and theres one animated texture behind where the player starts, it has alternate flashing red lights at the bottom. There are others I dont remember seein anywhere else too. Im just asking cause I wanna use them!
