Scourge Of Armagon contained only one deathmatch map, Levelord's(c) Edge Of Oblivion which created the space map genre. However, SOA contained a lot of cool content including some novel weapons.
I often base my map ideas on a primary weapon then build the layout to emphasise the particular gameplay that entails; Storm Halls is my tribute to the Mjolnir. Originally I wanted to make the map entirely close combat, but quickly realized that was impractical in a game where everyone is constantly running. So I kept the Mjolnir as the primary artifact and changed the emphasis to lightning. SOA has many lightning-based traps and effects in its code and a subtle celtic theme in some of its textures. Think of Storm Halls as the Mission Pack 1 deathmatch map that got lost in time. You will, of course, require Scourge Of Armagon to play this map. |
