Airboat ride is ok, but you can just speed through most of it without a need to take on the Combine or look for keys to progress.

No structured ending and there just was not the content or gameplay to keep the player interested. But none of the above should stop the author from releasing more stuff; he obviously has plenty of ideas and a basic knowledge of mapping.

Did anyone experience graphical errors in map 2? I did.

Yes, I got lots of HOM effects and I forgot to mention that in my brief review.

–And he expects you to kill them all with a shotgun and 6 shells!

SPOILERZZZ

To be fair he’s not. There’s a secret cache with a pulse gun and batteries.

But overall, gameplay is average to below-average. Also, you’ll easily notice that it’s very much styled in an arcade-like fashion. Enemy placement is horrible for the most part. The author tends to crumple a tone of soldiers together in bunches and also chuck turrets into some of the strangest places.

I’ll admit that some of the airboat runs were quite fun to rush through, but again the author is unfair on his part. He expects you to run through every obstacle and bottleneck perfectly. Muck it up – And you’re pumped full of lead from ceiling turrets. It’s an annoying little niggle that just breaks any sort of fun one may have been having at that point.

The last stretch of gameplay (IE Map 3.) is decent, if not a tad boring. To be honest, it had heaps of potential gameplay wise, but falls short of its design.

Overall, gameplay: Unfair, repetitive but at least it’s not too boring.

Now onto design itself which – Is not very good at all. Like Phillip said, the author must’ve had some fantastic ideas and set-ups in his head, but with his level of skill (At this point, at least.) he couldn’t pull them off. Everything is way too big and under detailed.

Brushwork is decent but is still average for the most part. Like I said, everything is too large and everything seems so bland. Texturing is bad. Everything seems almost out of place (Except for map 3.) and textures are continuously repeated. Trimwork and detail is nonexistent, which makes matters worse in terms of these maps huge stature. Lighting is mostly quite average. Nothing too special.

Map 3 was probably the best in terms of design. Although it looks awfully bland, it’s still quite decent to look at. The very last part of map, the little rebel shack, (Screenshot #20.) is arguably the best looking thing in the entire mappack. It’s looked quite decent, but still seems bland and out-of-place.

Overall, a mappack to hate. Bland and repetitive, big and under detailed. At least it’s not boring, but even that’s not enough.

If you want something good from this author, go and play ‘Water Burials’ for some 10-15 minutes of decent fun! Otherwise, step away – There’s nothing to see here…

My recommendation:

Gameplay is a little on the repetative side but if you enjoy driving the airbaot you may have fun with this one.

Don’t expect anything fantastci. Play it if you wantt 10 minutes of thoughts shooting and driving.

My Recommendation

My Five Word Review (What’s This?)
NO, too much driving again!
