My fifth release was a diversion level to take my mind off the increasingly frustrating project "Forsaken", Echo was a 3 day project. As most of my levels took place outside I decided to have a crack at one that took place entirely indoors, and it came out a complete success. This is certainly one of my favorite creations, and it plays really well with 3-6 players. A CTF version is included in the AG modification, available here... http://www.planethalflife.com/agmod

Snarkpit 2002 "Contrasting themes" mapping contest entry.

After the pleasurable experience of making Outland for the CTF mode of the AG mod, I was really in the mood to try my hand at it again. And so Torrent began as a small CTF map for 4 to 6 players. Soon after though, the snarkpit announced a mapping contest, and I saw potential in Torrent to be suited to the theme. After some adjustments and additions it was ready, and ended up going on to come first in the judged contest and second in the voted one...bagging me a copy of Splinter Cell for my xbox It is a small map, suitable for 2 to 4 players.

After a while away from mapping I decided to go back to it and shove something together. My initial idea was to craft a high detail neo-gothic church, but r_speed constraints kicked in and I simply couldn't afford to put in any walls! So I was left with a floating space church arena, which I must admit I'm very happy with. R_speeds are insanely high due to the open layout and high detail, but despite this it seems to run smooth on most computers anyway, most likely due to the use of under 10 textures! It is best with under 4 players.
