A remake of my old but popular "mentalspace". No screenines im afaraid, it would ruin the suprizes.

Nice touch with the stairs.

This should make for better games when it's 4v4+

Aw c'mon man, i'm at the office and I can't try it out We want screenies!

Dling now...

It's nice. Real nice. I see really only 2 problems, gameplay-wise. The amount of health and proximity of the bases allows a person to double rocket jump from one base to another, repeatedly. Check out my demo:

The second is that the jump pads on the bases are maybe tilted down too far- they are invisible until you are right on them, meaning that people will probably miss them.

I think this map is meant for larger groups, which in effect will reduce this problem.


edit: Also, I just watched your demo and no offense but you're doing it the inefficient way.

check out my demo uno rocketo

bah.

Yea, you are just laser- rocket- jumping instead of double rocket jumping.

trickjumps where always a central part of this map, so i see no issue with any of thise besides, a lil speed caps every now and then can be fun. and good aimtraning for nex'n

i suck at your map but its still awesomesauce.

I like this map, which comes as a surprise to me because I don't really like the old one. (In which my greatest joy is hopping over to the enemy base and lasering their noobs off while jumping around.) It might be the way one can rocketjump onto the enemy base from right near a major health powerup, but it probably has to do with the fact that while I am not very good at Nexuiz in general, I've had the (>120) high score on this map both times I played it and my team won both games. I don't know why. Maybe the new goodies are distracting more seasoned players. I guess time will tell.

(Just realized there might be some confusion here: my handle is GNOMES. Gnomes is not my real name, as might be expected.

Nice retouch of the map

crap map

The changes really improve gameplay, especially with high playercounts.
I'll agree with torus, it's hard to hit those jumppads sometimes with their downward tilt

I actually thinks it's a lot easier You shoot just before entering it. At first I had problems with it but now I master it.
