Oh Speedy what have you done!!! I thought when I saw the map name it was familiar but what I didn't know was that Speedy had seen the high scoring (sic) Fall by Born.2.be.wild and decided to remake it! As he clearly explains in the maps readme he did indeed download the original disaster map from here. He even thought it was interesting concept that could be improved…
It is certainly looks a billion times better than the checker board massacre of the original, but that doesn't detract from the fact that 
as a pure DM map it stinks in terms of playability and the need for any trace of skill. Play is totally random, infuriating and short lived. It's like being in a blender, its only a matter of time before you're gibbed. It actually plays just like the original with the exception being you don't get hurt when dropping through the liquid section since this time its water and not lava! And you can't rjump out of the top of this map, which is always a bonus.
I pondered on a score… and although it is more pleasing to the eye and obviously a fair bit of work have gone into making it look cool, it just plain sucks as a map. Repeatedly falling through a map certainly isn't my idea of fun. It gets 'em only for its looks.

Nice idea (again) but just doesn't work with Quakes fast game... Maybe if was part of a map instead of THEE map then it would work better... :/
