kzus_pharaohs_complex

Status: Denied

Reasons:

First of all I want to mention, don't be sad when reading "denied". This is a great maps with a lot of issues, once the bugs are fixed the map will be easily accepted.

The Jumps: Nothing to complain about here.

The Textures & Atmosphere: Texture choice is solid/good, nothing to complain about here either. What is a bit sad and bad for the atmosphere is that there are only a few details, most of them in a bad place and you had to make them non-solid to block easy sc's (which is a bit unrealistic, but that's no big problem in the few cases). However the start/end button and the signs didn't really fit into the theme and destoyed quite a part of the overall experience/atmosphere of the map.

The Architecture: No problems here as well, some of them look a bit squary, but that's not a huge problem because it doesn't look that bad.

Bugs: Major problem of the map, it has too many bugs that could easily be fixed or could have easily been found with playing/hooking through the map for one single time. With small fixes this map can be a lot better than it is atm;

Suggestions:
- Please try to fix the bugs and resubmit the map as soon as possible.
- As you can see there are a lot of bugs that can be noticed by playing the map several times alone or with some friends before submitting it. You should not treat us as beta testers please.

Other:

Please tell us your decision, the new mapcheck system will be released soon with major changes to the custom maps and we really need to know what should happen to this map.
