The latest version of a deathmatch map, featuring a council estate with accessible apartments and courtyard area.

The map environment is set in a futuristic silo, transformed for deathmatch play. 'The map looks and sounds like a real place, and plays differently to traditional killboxes'.

Many hours have been spent developing a deathmatch map that looks more realistic and detailed than maps of old. NextGen features new HD textures courtesy of texture artist Philip K, who provides free not-for-profit textures. NextGen moves away from traditional square killboxes and introduces a multi-environment arena, based on cylindrical shape and transitioning-platform, which transforms the environment at the flick of a switch. NextGen returns with the traditional lift platforms seen in killboxes, and uses water to add an extra element to the gameplay.

Hi, this map is now released as rc1 version.

The build has taken influence from the Alien films, the abyss, total recall and the game Doom 3. It is based on the map dm_areolite which is a deathmatch classic game still available on deathmatch classic servers, although built from scratch and extensively modified beyond similarity except in map layout. The map is centred around a 'pit', with 3 interlocking floors, and features teleports, stairwell lighting, manual closing doors, ventilation ducts, working elevator (american english) and switchable lights. The pit features an expanse of water that forms an abyss.

The map also includes increased lightmaps, which means that shadows appear more striking and less diffused. New textures courtesy of catalyst source studios - http://www.fpsbanana.com/textures/98 And a custom made skybox with martian sky and mountains.

The switchable lights are a main feature of the map, and affect the soundscape, making the map very quiet while also darker, which brings in a new form of gameplay for dm.
