:p
But yeah, while people often say that the valley being filled with lava was kinda lame in that it limited gameplay, I thought it was interesting and made the whole place a lot moodier. This was one of the better remixed maps in the pack, I thought. I just wish they had used fog to make the lava look hotter.

video playthru doesn't work.. I think it's the url from when you edit it instead of the final result..
Edit: fixed.

Whoops!
I guess I'd have to read the entire page before posting. It was just seeing that map and then posting.

Now that it is explained it makes a bit more sense. But still, it surprised me to see all the water replaced with lava, as there's no volcano (that I know) in the original map, and I doubt that the volcano you find in mid-ONP could get its lava flowing all the way down to NyLeve.
It doesn't make it less cool, though.

My second favourite map (or more like, one of the maps that I liked) of ONP. First being the Vortex remix.
Nothing really to say here - it's just Nyleve with a great night theme and with the usual ugly terrain retexturing. And where the hell those Tarydium spires come from?
Ambushes are really nice, especially the ones from the Pupae (reminescent of Xidia).
Seeing Nyleve with lava is just something you would have imagined every day. I don't know, but the lava fits more with the night theme. Aye, the liquid texture locks at a certain point.
Luckily you can choose what map to play in the game (through Console, for example), so I can experience this one without playing ONP and passing 27 or so pointless maps D:

ditto here.. just revisiting with not much extra's... felt more like an in-between-map....

This thread seems a bit of an exception but there's always been bunch of orgasming over this level I never really got, the remaking is nice, but between the lava and greater Skaarj occupation it felt like they could have done a lot more with this level (like new side areas or something) but didn't so you just walk to the end with a couple of really easy fights in the way.

I'll be honest, I don't remember much about this one aside from the lake of lava by the Rikers and the pupae ambush from a crate. I did find what he did with the environment interesting and all, though. But as I recall it was essentially a nostalgic cake-walk. Perhaps that was the intent?

I think it was just meant to be slightly creepy... which, to be honest, I think it succeeded at.
It's also a much better redux than Rrajigar IMO.

Ehm... not really I think... more like "RL"-issue here.
No problem with a delay tho... take your time.

Don't worry - the RL issue is something that I'm more than capable of coping with. I just forgot in the midst of it, that's all. Hopefully I'll remember tomorrow.
