The Gloomy Lab

Why? Just WHY do people submit maps like this? Don't they read the reviews of bad maps, haven't they seen screenshots of really bad maps? Well obvously Kronzor_2000 hasn't, otherwise he/she wouldn't have submitted this "thing"...

What we have here ladies and gentlemen is a glorified boxmap. One room with various walls jutting out of the sides to create a little maze like arena. the only deviation from this "box" is a small corridor in one side with two rocket launchers in it, one at each end. Lighting is not fullbright, pretty much the opposite with almost complete blackness in the main area, the little corridor is a lot lighter though...

Gameplay is pretty much non-existant as you just cannot see your opponent thanks to the lack of light, the map is completely un-balanced in terms of item placement as well due to the fact that there are only rocket launchers on the map ( unless you count the exploding box as a weapon ) and they are placed randomly at best...

Give this one a miss...

To all the other maps. It's too high. The author says "I know this map is pretty crap" so I don't feel guilty about agreeing :P
