Looking at the screenshots it needs cubemaps!

Don’t waste your time with this. It doesn’t even have a suit, meaning once you pick up one weapon you can’t use the others.

Really, it’s just a few ordinary rooms with one big one full of zombies.

Hmm. Why even bother add such simple maps as this one? While the site clearly has the purpose to list all maps and mods, maps like these shouldn’t even have been released in the first place, let alone posted on a website.

Sortie, I believe that listing these sorts of maps is important, even though the map itself is not very good. Besides the point you mention about the site’s objective, it helps players know that I haven’t missed a map. Imagine you find a map but only perhaps its name and the download link. How do you know if it’s any good? By looking on PP, of course! Otherwise everybody that finds it has to download and test it, clearly a waste of time.

Now I know you don’;t particularly like this policy but please don’t mention it on every bad map because that doesn’t help anybody. Either play it or ignore, it’s your choice. But at least you have that choice because I added it.

Alright – Just wanted to know why you add these kind of maps. Playing all those is a lot of work, and I’m really glad you do it. I always enjoy when I see my RSS say there’s an update on PlanetPhillip, even if it’s this kind of maps. Of course, I won’t mention this on other pages for other mods like this.

Hmm having a second look on the screenshots, this isn’t a first map. The brushwork is too complicated, but the lack of HDR cubemaps hints the mapper isn’t really knowing how the engine works in details. I guess this map is only a test map and shouldn’t be considered anything more. It’s probably only good for a 2 minute long Zombie Battle.

“It’s probably only good for a 2 minute long Zombie Battle.”

Not even…

*Spoiler*
As a fun side note, if you throw a grenade into the hole in the window with the stalker in it, you win the game!! (must bring own grenades)

I won’t say Avoid it–it is something to do, and you get to kill zombies. Other than that, there’s nothing to recommend it, though.
