Description:
Well well, here we have a new map from Szico.
First of all before I do anything else, let me comment on the size of this thing. Now I know I often start off reviews by commenting on the size, saying how large the map is. But this map really is MASSIVE. I cant believe how much stuff Szico has put into this map. You could explore it all day and still not find everything!
This is a very snowy map, which I suppose is apt for this time of year, as December is usually known for its snow! Unless of course you live somewhere where it doesn�t snow� In the part of the UK that I live in, we rarely get proper snow. Its usually either mush that falls here, or when we do get snow its only a thin layer that melts anyway after a couple of hours unless its cold enough lol!
Anywayyy�it looks like there�s been plenty of snow falling in this map as its absolutely covered in it! I must also say that the choice of base JKA skybox used is very clever. It might only be the night-time one that�s used on the Korriban Multiplayer FFA map, but it fits very nicely with the snow!
There are just too many cool (forgive the pun) features in this map to list. So I will try and only comment on the best ones
Firstly the area where I spawned was a frozen pond type thing. The texture and shiny shader used looked very effective, and being a frozen pond, its really slippery too, so watch your step! However, there�s something far cooler (forgive the pun again!) that just a frozen pond there. There are fireflies, tons of them! The author has really done a good job making this new effect, it really does look like fireflies are hovering around the pond, and it looks very scenic The choice of music for the map is also excellent and adds to the scenic atmosphere.
The main area to the map is sorta like a little village. There are many small cottages scattered around, a few of them you can even go in. There�s a nice warm fire inside, some furniture, and even a sleeping bag type thing The way the doors of the cottages have been scripted to swing open is more like real life and looks very good, afterall how many cottage doors do you see that just slide away into the wall like the doors we are so used to seeing in Starwars maps?
Around the back of some of the cottages is a TaunTaun pen, this is a BIG map remember, so TaunTaun�s are useful for getting around quickly!
Another thing I like in this map is the Snow covered Fir trees, they fit very well with the map, and there is a nice little area where there is a camp fire surrounded by a few trees. Again very scenic. Lets not forget the Ski Lift and Ski Slope too! Its fun sliding down there�weeeee! *crack!* *crunch!*
Owwww�
Anywayyy, that�s just the main area, after that there is another area to get to. You get to this via a frozen sewer or river type thing. At first when I saw it, it was covered with ice, and I didn�t think anything of it. Then I jumped on it and *CRACK!* the ice broke and I fell into the water! That was a very cool idea, breakable ice Anyway, once I swam my way through the sewer/river I came out at this shaft where I had to jump up in order to upon this hatch above me. Once out I worked my way out onto this snowy canyon road�with errmmm�an X-Wing at the side? That seemed a bit out of place for the setting of the map!
Go through what looks like a boarded-up shaft, wind your way through the corridors and eventually you will find yourself back at the main area! Phew.
Errm but that�s not it�there are loads of secrets and other places you can go in this map, including what I believe is a Final Fantasy themed duel room, control rooms, even deep underground through something that looks like a mine shaft!
Now, I couldn�t tell you where all the secrets are of course, as well as making the review insanely long, that would spoil the fun
I will give you some clues as to where to find one of the secret areas though Look around for some padlocked hatches, you can break the padlocks and then press the use button to open the hatches�I�m not going to tell you anymore though, that would spoil the fun now wouldn�t it? Mwahaha!
One other great thing was the teleporters around the map, they look incredible when they are turned on. Now it�s a bit complicated to turn them on, basically look for round buttons that you can press to turn them on (I had trouble finding them though, but then again I�m not good at finding things!) Also look for a hidden teleporter behind a brick wall somewhere. It�s a bit difficult to find, but I�m sure you will find where it is
Now, onto the things that could have been improved upon. Well the map is extremely high quality, and there was very little here that I thought could be improved upon. However there were still one or two things. One thing was that the boulders scattered around certain places in the map were very jaggedy, it would have looked cool if they were a bit more rounded off. But it still looks ok really
And of course, as with any map this size, the FPS in places did drop quite a bit for me. But overall I�m very glad to say that the FPS was very good
Besides that an absolutely excellent map here! Well done Szico!
