Status: Denied

First of all I want to mention, don't be sad when reading "denied". This is a great map but it has quite a few problems. Once they are gone it will be easily accepted.

Reasons:

The Jumps: Pretty cool mix of sick bhop lines (like chinabl0ck or other speedmaps) and normal jumps. A minus is the missing variet and the very easy and obvious shortcuts as well. Some little fixes could improve the jumps a lot (making the shortcuts harder, remove a few of the repetitive ones).

The Textures & Atmosphere:: Cool textures here, but a little lack of details. The inside part was pretty boring.. You just travel through empty rooms around; same blocks on the same walls. Some details and other textures for the jumps (esp. in the red cave) could do miracles, especially replacing some of the few boring textures that are super stretched. Besides that the atmosphere is great, you feel like being somewhere far away from our planet :)

The Architecture: Solid architecture, but once again the problem of repetitive things: There are 2 sets of 3 rooms that are identical. A bit variety would be more than awesome, like different textures or lighting? Also the jumps are very seperated from the actual map, it feels like the map was built and jumps were placed everywhere around just to finish the map. Unfortunately, you feel really alone on the map, I think a few ambient sounds and details could not hurt, it could make the map more mysterious!

Bugs/issues:

+ Some really obvious and easy sc's, no big problems but making them harder could make them "sexy".

Suggestions:

We would love to see you fixing the mentioned stuff and put some more work into the map adding variety, because this map has a lot of potential to become a great map.

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.
