 Gameplay was better, mostly because there are some fun Quad slaughters, and you can get infighting going most of the time - including for me the satisfying experience of getting a knight to kill a tarbaby, or a couple knights to kill a hellknight. I tried the same thing again at the end, but a Shambler gibbed my valiant champion knight with one giant bloody hand. Most of the medieval/​runic Quake monsters are used for their strengths; gameplay'​s a bit predictable but challenging enough to be fun. There'​s no hiding and sniping here, you can blast your way through the map at a fast pace, which adds to the Doom-like feeling. It would have been nice to have the supershotgun earlier. Anyway, while this doesn'​t really measure up to some of the other maps by the same author, think of it as a giant speedmap with some fun Quad slaughters and an interesting ending setpiece, and you should enjoy this release which will hopefully usher in some more Quake maps after a slow summer. Gameplay was better, mostly because there are some fun Quad slaughters, and you can get infighting going most of the time - including for me the satisfying experience of getting a knight to kill a tarbaby, or a couple knights to kill a hellknight.
