Greetings all, today I have released the official revision of my second map ever, BR-Templus (UT2k3) for, you never guessed it, UT2k4! Since this is a revision of the old one I would like you the following questions.

For those that have played the old one and the new one: Has Templus improved since it's very first release?
For those that have played the new one, not the old one: How do you like this map?
For those that haven't played any of the twö: What are you thinking? :P

Never played the original version, but I just had a chance to check this out. Pretty slick... for being a Thorns-style map. Nice music :) and the eye-candy (when have a chance to breathe) is nice.

Overall, pretty good job. I would suggest however, adjusting the spawn points so they point in a better direction. I got turned around when spawning and had a hard time trying to get out of the spawn chambers fast enough -- but that's just me :D

Thanks for the comment, the respawn rooms being identical tends to make you lose the overview a bit. This little project was just something I had to get out of my system, because I was very irritated by the 'graphical splendour' of maps like Thorns, I felt like showing how it's done, and IMO I did a decent job. I'll try and adjust the playerstarts so that they're aimed at the door to insanity;)
Along with some other fixes that my right hand in this map, Carson 'Dregs' Smith, has found, a 1.1 is not far away, just like the CTF version:D

Great map Souldiversjosz. Nice Looks and it plays very good. It can become a little crowded when using the default botnumber. I lowered it to 8 players (instead of 10). Also I think the rocketlauncher is a bit to much for a map this size. Perhaps you put it in on purpose to create some chaos.

Thanks for the comment:D
the 1.1 is still underway, but it's taking longer than expected due to exams and other stuff. Templus ain't dead yet!
