Hey, this is a cool map ! Thanks Than !

Now, what would it take to declare 2012 the year of Quake ?

Skill 2 17mins 4/4 80/80

Barely, *barely* survived :)Really fun map. Secrets as always were awesome.

Only part I had trouble on was finding what the red button at the top of the starting area did. apart from that progression was nice and smooth. 

Fern i tried your demo and it crapped out missing gib.mdl. I think you ran the map with Quoth. Use plain old ID1 and you will not have the monsters telefraging WHY? I don't know.
Much better though 

In The Shadows
Round The U-Bend 

... I can't play any of these maps <- /me crying

:( 

Yes... yes I did...
Better try again tomorrow. 

Wow.

Jesus. Than, this map is beautiful and super classy, and very fun and just the right skill level, with perfect ambushes and a great finale and good (though somewhat too easy) secrets.
I wish I could sit down with you for an hour and you could show me how you make all that beautiful curviness in WC 1.6.
had no issues with progression (light change).
Recorded a demo, will upload shortly 

Here's my demo!

Sorry I kinda cheesed a lot of it. I've been playing Dark Souls.

and available in the Quake Injector.

Worst possible release date. ;) 

Solid map with great secrets! 

Having drunk quite a few cheap "wines" full of sulfur when I was younger, I can imagine what it probably smells like round the U-bend.

Nicely done map. Felt very clean and clinical when compared to negke's, though. I think the fog is to blame (not nice to put tarbabies* in the water when the fog and the color tint makes them so hard to see). Please put less hordes above my eyesight next time!

weird feeling there was some combat missing.

I felt the same way, for some weird reason. I also found the Nightmare secret only after getting all kills... I guess that's motivation to replay this on skill 3.



* - why did apsp3 have none??
