All of the maps have cyst pathing bugs on them atm. I talked to Mendasp about some of the summit ones and he couldn't find anything wrong so chances are that it's a programming bug.
Something else I've enjoyed is the return of Corridors alongside iconic rooms. It's actually interesting how too many Exos end up blocking each other off in places like Y Junction, limiting the Marines until they can push out of the Choke.
Plus, with the larger map space, seeing the difference in speeds of Aliens covering the map against the methodical pushes of Marines heartens me to no end.

I'm amazed at how faithful this is to the style of the original, even down to the vent2 rimmed doorways! :) Amazing job. It glows just like the original. I love what you've done to flesh out the hives. I might actually remember their names now!

That is a big honor from a mapper of your caliber, thank you. And Shiva would indeed look awesom in Spark :)

And to the requests: I want ns_lucid!
And an overworked version of ns_ayumi would be cool as well. One that won't be called ns_coldturn ;)
Ah goddammit bring em all back.
Precisely. We are experiencing a bug.
