As you may have gathered from the name of this map, and the fact that today is 'Shite Map Saturday', this level is crap. According to the readme (shockingly, one is included with this map!), the author describes it to be "too fun to explain". Well, using a powerful NASA supercomputer and the finest minds of our generation, I managed find a description to this map- "it's a big drop". If you're still having trouble comprehending the complex theme I'm trying to convey here, then don't worry- that's what these reviews are here for!

Actually, the only three things I have to say about this map are that there are no weapons to pick up ("must play with cheats enabled"), that this is not a bottomless pit (you just hit the bottom and stay there until you die, either through boredom-induced suicide, or you switch off your computer), and that you can break the trap-door system that operates around the spawn points so that as soon as someone respawns (sorry, why would anyone do that, I mean start playing the map) they start falling. So all in all, this map fails in the technical and gameplay departments outstandingly. It's just crap in every way possible- so much so that I don't really feel like pointing and laughing at it like I usually do with maps like this.

Verdict

The words "defunct" and "inane" come to mind.

You have to cheat to be able to play it.

Verdict
The words "defunct" and "inane" come to mind.
