Basicly you take a large sector and stick a bunch of boxy 3dos randomly in it.

What Flexor forgets to mention is that they have to be placed in a manner that invokes fast gameplay. Otherwise it's pointless.

I give it a ten without having seen it yet. Why? It's Dark Tempest and it has new music by Crystal Nova. That's enough for me.

Dude, again, this is awesome.
I liked DT7 somewhat better coz of the color, which is a bit plain here in my opinion.
But 'hollow' rocks .... good idea ... places to hide....the music ownz, what can I say? Try something new maybe, like, add transportation tubes here and there.

AWESOME .... i voted for lvl of the week!

U should teach me editing lol

ORJ_JoS gives this one a 9 !!!

These levels are quite possibly one of the biggest reasons JK will never completly die out. Awsome level 10/10.

I love it. It's fun, and the stuctures were places in just the right points. My only problem is, that because there arent really any big platforms or anything, just a little lag is enough to send you flying off edges every time. But that just might be me, Im not good with edges. Seems we've been getting a lot of good JK levels in recently :)

May the Dark Tempest continue...
This is nice! All apart from the HOM in the corners of the sky box, IT IS NICE!
Keep up the good work! Maybe on your death bed you could reach DT 20... :P

sry man but im getting extremely bored with DT levels i would be a liar if i said the first DT didnt blow me away but now its way to repetitive. I rly dislike the music, and the dark theme i must give this a 2.5 for design, and 2.5 for effort 5/10

I'll give it a 7. It's a really appealing well designed level. But, WHERE ARE THE GUNS? This is a great open level that would make for terrific conc battles. But there is only one conc and hardly any ammo. I wish you would rerelease and put a bunch of concs and rails in and forget the other guns.

You know, pal, there are other JK players besides you and your conc-loving friends. Some people actually like to PLAY instead of just running around keeping the trigger pulled.
As for the level...excellent as always.

I'm very sorry to say this Flexor, but i am COMPLETELY out of comments to say about your work...

...You get a 9!

zag, the other guns work alright in hallways and such. But they are completely useless in wide open areas. Take the ST rifle and point it at a wall and see how many shots actually hit your crosshair. Flex please please release another one for gunners like me :-)

How many levels just like it there are is irrelevant. It doesn't affect how good this specific level is. If you're sick of them, then don't download them. It's that simple. You knew there were already 7 other dark tempests and you think it's getting repetitive, then why the heck did you download it?

The rating is meant to represent how good the level is. Not how long before *you* get bored of it - because quite frankly, nobody cares. This level is clearly not worth the score you gave it. Your only valuable argument is that you disliked the music - and that's not worth taking off half the points.

I'm sorry to say, but you make a horrible reviewer. Next time try to think a little more before rating a level. If you can't do that, then don't rate them, or you'll just screw up the scores.

I'm going to download this when I get home from class just to hear the music. What music software do you use anyways?

nonononono you see i dont make a horrible reviewer (thats a personal attack REPORTED!). the fact that its just a box with a bunch of platforms makes it not alot of fun.

I rate games on this scale

Look
Sound
Design
Fun Factor
Replay Value

so each is worth 2 points

Look - 2
Sound - .5 cuz i dont like the sound
Design - 2 because hey its original
Fun Factor - 0 because i didnt find it fun, i prefer the older DT levels
Replay value - 0 i deleted it as soon as i finished playing it because i didnt like it

the only reason it got a 5 was cuz i couldnt give it a 4.5

you can say i make a horrible reviewer but i think its just you cant stand the fact that someone didnt like your level.

That's not at *all* what you said. You said you gave it a 2.5 for effort and a 2.5 for design.

I don't give a rat's ass if someone doesn't like my level. What irritates me is people who screw up the scores for no good reason.

Yes indeed. this bit right here is meant for posting comments on what you think of the level. if you wanna argue, go post in the forums.

I didn't download the level, so i haven't voted, but i think (from the screens) that it looks pretty good. the rocks are very well made, altough a little bit of extra detail on the platforms wouldn't go astray. eg maybe pipes, or a bowl shaped bit, maybe even just a couple of indoors bits.) overall, very nice look.

perhaps it is time to make something different though, if you've got 8 of these levels now.

Isn't it odd that Flexor complains about people messing up the score if they say something negative, but doesn't mind about people who say "I give it 10 because it's Dark Tempest".

No thats not what he said, he said that its dumb that people vote low score for no reason, he doesnt have anything against people rating it for a low score... only those who does it for a bad reason thats just it... and i guess i agree with him on that part

"I give it a ten without having seen it yet. Why? It's Dark Tempest and it has new music by Crystal Nova. That's enough for me."

This is making a mess of the scoring system just as much as someone giving a bad score for no reason.

Is this a commenting system or a forum? Once a point is made it is made.

I agree det but most people rate it around 7-10 anyways so it doesn't screw up the rating nearly half as much.

This level was great. It has everything the other DT levels had... great archi, textureing, mood music, new cool powerups with cool sfx, and it has even more, with cool broken platforms and stragically placed jumppads.

10/10. I can't think of anyway this could be improved, and I've had a blast playing it.

This is a great level! Who would have thought that this could come out of the smaller original in the Massassi Level Pack 4? These DT levels are just different enough that they are not tedious, and each one is worth the download! Hopefully, there will be a Dark Tempest 9, someday. Oh and by the way, I would like to recommend a modpack for use with these levels: Manowars V2. You can find it at the same place you can find BFP2X...the JK Multiplayer Add-On Group.
