Everything about this map rocks. Every room is both an awesome arena and feels like a real place. The lighting and texturing are so clean that I don't feel compelled to use alien vision at all. It's full of memorable architecture, and I've had a bunch of great battles on it so far. It makes me wish we could do a relighting pass on tram to put some yellows in it. Awesome job!

    I've only had the unfortunate timing of playing the map once today :(
    Looked great though! Had some fun lerking around and felt that I didn't want to use alien vision. Just a great new map, good work UWE!

    So many new props to play with as well. I agree Descent has a real quality feel to it and it was quite the journey. Just lovin' it that NS2 stepping into the world of even sexier visuals :P

    First map that made me stop and look around in almost every room. Especially those see through floor panels. Man biodome is going to be so good if this is an indicator of future maps. I just hope we get discovery and the game will be complete for me.

    My jaw dropped during the trailer, it's on the floor now. Gorgeous map. This used to be the best FPS I've ever played, now it's also the prettiest. Congrats, and most of all thank you.

    Aye its a fantastic map. The rooms feel different, and strangely claustrophobic. Only complaint is that it seems the marines can turtle very well.

    I don't know about you guys but when I ran around the map exploring the sights I was totally reminded of System shock 2, not that the map itself resembles with areas of that game but with all the corridors and that big mall area well... do I need to explain myself any further? ^^

    Anyway it's a shining jewel in comparison to the other maps. (sorry but that's how I feel)

    Theres a water texture so the update is 100/10 for me, 'nuff said (also the clean props/textures were so very needed)
