I find these rather boring. The monster placement feels too artificial.

Wasn't boring for me, I found it good and a rare theme for Quake.

i enjoyed this. the first and second map follow the doom3 hell map somewhat closely, but after that it explores new territory. it plays a lot like the doom3 hell map too, and is completely linear. in fact, you don't revisit any areas at all.
you have to respect a mapper who builds all those areas and doesn't try to squeeze extra gameplay out of them by having them return there. obviously, returning to previous areas can be a good gameplay mechanic, but i rarely see a map that avoids it completely.

Underrated. Probably the best Doom 3 map save Ruined Nation. Also Spirit's comment makes no sense, considering he rated this excellent.

The description sounds like negke wrote it. Ratings are meant to be objective. Descriptions and ratings are not "mine". negke did most, several others contributed in early days.

So you cannot compare anyone's personal opinion with whatever rating someone gave this map. I would probably have given this pack a Nice rating. There are way too many bad aspects in my eyes to justify an Excellent rating. Personally they are just about Average to me.

Sorry, was confused, though you handled all the "Crap, Poor, Average, Nice, Excellent" ratings.
