Powder Keg
2 - 4 players | Reviewed by DaZ - Monday 19 March 2001 @ 02:37
In a change of pace Mr Fribbles has decided to make a small DM map which plays nicely as a 1on1 or up to to a four player free for all.
The map looks nice although there are no distinguishing features or amazing visuals (unlike his other maps) although you do get three versions of the same map, each one with a different texture set applied to it. The sandy desert one looks best imo but the other t
wo styles ( a stone temple and a whiter stone) also look very nice. Lighting is good all round and fits the map well, complimenting the textures.
Gameplay as you might expect is fast and furious and with top notch item placement the map flows very nicely. I found that 1 on 1 games are the most fun while FFA's speed up the pace 10 fold and things get very frantic very quickly, just how we like it :)
All in all a nice little number that comes in three distinct flavours. Perfect for those 1on1 internet games and warm-ups at a LAN party...
3.5 out of 5.0

I was actually waiting for the review of this map quite a bit, because I've been playing this map for some time on a little server I'm running, and this was in my opinion one of the few that would've deserved the 5/5 score. Can't really comment on visuals because dm players play at 320x200 d_mipcap 3 anyway, but the playability is where this map beats 99% of the other maps easily.

Kinda strange that this one didn't get reviewed a long time ago - oh well..better late than never :)
This is certainly a great little map. Too bad my linux server crashes when loading up the blue version (my fav, too).

I should have given this map a higher score for sure! At least a 4.5!
