The Rest Stop

-----------------

Architecture: 6
Average architecture here. The author did make a few details, but it is pretty blocky.

Textures: 5
The texture choice in this level was ok, but overall, a little bland. Also, there is a color map error on one of the textures.

Gameplay: 5
Good gameplay, except for a few problems. First of all, the elevator cog on the bottom floor is backwards, making it impossible to bring the elevator down with the button. Second of all, make sure you flag all floors as a floor, so the player doesn’t float on them. There is a bit of an imbalance between weapons and ammo, weighing a little toward the ammos side. There are also a little too many shield pickups.

Lighting: 6
The lighting wasn’t bad. Good use of sector lights in the hanger, but a little too bright in some areas.
-----------------
Final Score: 6

Posted: 2003-01-24 12:57 p.m.   Report Abuse Being biased and whatnot, I don't think I could rate this. Instead, I'll focus on some reasons why you should make some new maps.

-You have an eye for ambience

-The map was vertical. Most "n00b" maps are planar.

-You know how to stitch textures.

-You understand the basic concepts of lighting and cogging.

It's a small level, with not much to do. I suppose it is just like a typical rest stop. :P
