Here's a pleasant surprise. This is a large map, which will impress you as soon as you see the room you start in. It's well designed, featuring large moving machinery, great Strogg placement, great action, and nicely done secrets. Fortunately the map does not disappoint from there. You make you way through a level that manages to have great variety, while sticking to a strong theme. The flow is great, no boring lulls, or impossible fights. Architecture is creative without becoming gaudy, and texture choice compliments it very well. If you like to hunt down secrets, this map will not disappoint, but may frustrate you a bit. Highly recommended map here by Charlie, and I really look forward to the second map in the series. Only minor gripes: the map will not run properly in sofware rendering (see his read.me), and there was a bit too much firepower at the end of the map (although since it may be needed to start the second map, I'll not deduct too harshly). Get it now, and let this quality map hold you over until Unreal is unleased upon the world tomorrow.
