the summary
tombstones of id software was the first quake2 sp map by level designer mark shan. as such, you can not expect much from this level. gameplay consists of mainly roaming through cramped hallways and ocassionally shooting down some strogg with the boat-load of ammo you have available. the end of the level does feature a small outdoor cemetery that is somewhat creative and makes for a mildly entertaining battle with the flying insect boss. tombstones is better than some first efforts i have played, and not as good as others. it's tough to be hard on this map though, knowing the awesome units that mr. shan went on to design after this release. play it if you know mark's other works and want to see where he started off, otherwise this is only for the spq2er that simply must play every map ever created.
