Astoundingly good! If you don't have this map, your either blind or fewlish.

I've never actually played on this level with people, but to be honest I don't really think thats what its all about anyway. Its beautiful and novel to behold, and I reckon thats all Andrew was aiming for really. The teleporters are wonderful, probably the best I've ever seen in HL or even any game.

Pfft, of course it was about that.

It took me a while to figure out what I wanted from the connectivity on this one, but I got there eventually. I think it ended up working out pretty well - my intent was to create two larger combat arenas and then limited routes between them (the circular route up top and the direct link below) and then I included the teleporters to give a few more options for rapid transportation to different areas, as well as add the connection from the lower level to upper level.
