Synopsis: Escape from the cathedral.

Discuss!

Dat wall texture.

And I don't know what to think about the second shot. It looks good but at the same time it does not. Too brightly coloured lighting and too scraggly-looking architecture for example.

[UB_]

It also lagged for some reason.
The map sucks but not as much as the review says, there's way worse stuff.

Dat wall texture.

Ahahaha, I was thinking literally the exact same thing.

[SteadZ]

After reading Delacroix's review, I didn't bother to download it- always read the review before you download I say!

Synopsis: Escape from the cathedral.

How could you tell?

[redeye]

I say the reviews are wrong anyway, same for movies and video games.

But anyhow, what version or game will this work on, don't think I ever played it or heard or seen this.

That second screenshot looks like 3 other maps i know from u1...
the first looks like a bridge from another japan u1 map i know ..
Guess I play so many maps , everything starts to look the same...
i am almost tempted to go find the same scene in tho other 3 maps now and link screenshots, mabye later

Funny thing is I thought this looked exactly like a map called "scout", that's also very primitive and has a cathedral that looks far better than the rest at the end. I downloaded that map again and I see that it's quite different overall though.

I don't think I've actually played this map before. Very basic with not much to it, and the timed underwater switch is pretty obscure. While not that great the cathedral looks far better than the rest to the point it almost seems like it comes from another mapper.

Agreed.
I vaguely recall there was a discussion about this map not all that long ago.
Major flaws were :

• the timer button underwater,
• the same timer which makes entering the (now open) room for the first time an almost certain death sentence
• the Warlord who poses no threat at all.

OK, build and architecture aren't all that good either, but there are a couple of interesting fights. It's not really a map to avoid at all cost. Just don't expect a memorable experience.

When you guys comment about maps being bad or inferior.I wonder, have any of you played like MH godz return or a lot of other MH maps ?
Because the worst possible comments on some of the maps here are like 2 trillion times better than what I would call bad, LoL, i mean you want to see bad, try some MH maps, eeeeeek.I guess that is why I think some of the reviews are so whacked on this site, you haven't seen bad to what I think is.

[TheIronKnuckle]

Yeah I haven't played it, but that second shot doesn't look all that bad, which confused me when put next to the review

[redeye]

Well, I guess you are right, map is in need of much improvement.I never seen the door open from the underwater switch, and the torchlight thing, and the weird fight against the warlord, and the part that I guess made me mad was just teleporting out to end the map without notice.I was waiting for the big cathedral door too open., so I guess my score would be no more than 15.He must have went on to make MH maps lol.Well he tried.

[Rarsonic]

Yeah, there are pretty much worse maps out there. Are the maps from, say, Final Worlds, The Tragedy or the Cresecent Moon Software packs included in the scheduled list?

[UB_]

Nope, though I'm going to add Apoc because that pack is actually cool to play if you don't think about the low-polyness. CMS stuff are better than maps like this.

I like to play thos cms maps just because of the awesome music
