This Map Is Very Cool!

I love how it's built inside a massive atrium, kinda goes against classic Quake design principals, but in the days of Ironwail and vkQuake, why not? Makkon textures used very nicely here. Has some really nice details too.

THis was what Aesopolis wrote in the other thread for this release, (which has now been closed as a dupe):
I finally released a level that I've been working on for the past 8 months, while learning how to actually map. It's been getting some pretty good feedback on Slipseer, and I just made some updates to it.
Unfortunately, easy mode isn't that much easier, and I know this is important for some people. I'll improve this for a future update. It was hard enough just getting this thing out the door as it is.
Easy Mode

Easy mode was... ok. There were some parts of the map that were not so easy, but overall it was decent. Much, MUCH better than other maps, where easy is INSANELY hard.
Impressive, Albeit A Tad Confusing In Spots

Like Ricky stated above, the detailing and build is quite nice; very impressive for a 2nd map! However, I got a bit confused in some parts with progression, either due to a breakable that wasn't clear, "laser X barriers" that seemed to serve no purpose, or a crucial button camouflaged in a sea of lit tech panels. Also, I really wished for a nailgun earlier & a few battles seemed rather unbalanced, at least for "normal." Luckily, the Alk's "resurrect" feature came in handy!
Anyway, it's definitely a cool Base map. I'm willing to bet that a few more playtesters (like "normal" & "easy" folks) would smooth out these minor issues. Of course, I'm always pleased to see a map using Alkaline! :)
