Your post:

I noticed everyone had a topic open for their map...figured I would join in on the fun.

Basically, I designed the Superman map for 3 reasons:

1. Never did a standard HL DM map before and wanted to do at least 1 before D3 and HL2 came out.

2. I wanted to do a map that didnt look like everything else. So I picked red, yellow, and blue flat colors and went with the SUPERMAN theme.

3. I saw the snarkpit was having a competition and thought it would be fun. And it was. Congrats to all the other mappers who got in on it.

Other notes:

Why Superman...? 1. Christopher Reeves is the man. 2. Clark Kent is his alter ego, most other superheros are reverse. (See Kill Bill 2 for a better explanation). 3. Cause we all know Superman gets the girls...why else would he be called the MAN OF STEEL.

I put in the superman, batman, and spiderman models for your playing pleasure. Also added in waypoints for bots. also, r_speeds might get kinda high in corners since I skimped on the map optimizing. My bad...besides you should be playing Doom 3 right now anyway.

bwahahaha!

But surely not essential to a map?

Mind you, saying that, I tend to forget i've got it when playing DM as i'm too busy concentrating on staying alive

EDIT: Regarding the map, I quite liked it, and the superman flying bit was a nice gimmick. Having shadows possibly spoilt the flat coloured look a little but it was still pretty cool Kinda felt like I was running around a big lego fort at times too I think that was due to the choice of colours (red, yellow and blue were more or less the standard lego colours here in the UK).

Oct 11, 2004. Christopher Reeves died.

Sad Day.
