Overview
This is the map formerly known by its assigned layout name, ffs33.
Small duel-centric map with three levels and no teleporters or jumpers. Sunset lighting provided for alt mode and broad daylight in normal mode.
This is the first complete map done with phillipk’s normal maps over flat diffuse textures; the skeletons of phillipk’s textures are visible but muted in this map.
Notes & Strategies
- There is just one mine on this level, so use it wisely.
- There are plentiful grenades (4) for such a small map, so don’t be too prudish about using them.
- Flamer users are susceptible to running out of ammo on the bottom floor; shotgun users are likewise susceptible to ammo depletion on the top floor.
- The relatively limited line of sight can be used to the advantage of short range weapon holders.
