Who would of thought you would see a kold map (no pun intended ) Its great to finally contribute something towards the Quake 2 community, better late than never! From the word go with this map i had a hard time bringing my ideas from paper into the 3d world and had a hard time connecting my brushes from one area to the next. This was definitely a sign that i don't have the experience yet to be a decent Quake 2 mapper. I managed to come through in the end, and without WHO?'s words of wisdom and seeing all these fantastic maps from all the q2 mappers around atm, i wouldn't have finished this. So here it is a small arena to have some fun with your friends on! Last but not least, its a great feeling releasing a map :-D Map download link: www.koldsdesigns.net/maps/kolddm2.zip

after running around in this a while I like it. well connected, good flow, makes fun to move in. for the style, I'd say that the "Jesterisms" in this map are obvious (especially since Jester made a map with the same texture set, one of my favorites btw), but that's okay. I just don't share Jes' preference for bending the neon tube textures, because this just makes it too obvious that the tubes are only painted, and therefore take away map realism. This is surely a decent debut map, keep'em coming.

kold it's a good map ol feller a really nice map to play in as we experienced the other night(you gotta stop botting though ;P ..)
I like maps that flow, few if any choke points, neat & tidy equates to pleasant on the eye which in turn equates to people coming into servers & THAT from my perspective is a real "biggy"
Thx heaps for the map - it's in the dm, ayce & duel servers at ogn now .. & mate, I did nothing other than try to be a little bit supportive along the way .. YOU had the idea, YOU made the map (drove a couple of us mad just when we though we had the final YOU changed it lol) but mate YOU broke the curse on kold not mapping now get back to the saltmine & make us some more ... VGG & fun map cya in it

Hey Kold. Nice map, but not really my cup of tea. But we all have different oppinions on how map works for us, right? Anyway I liked that you shared it with us, that whats it all about, making maps for us all to benefit from?. Thx. And Kold...Keep´em comming, This is surely a decent debut map, keep'em coming. Iam not quit sure you are right in that Grieve, I remember at least: Kolddm4 Railgun 3peaks Behbr (kolddm1) and maybe a few otherones... W1

I really like the feel of this map. Upon loading and playin around with a bit, I was struck with a very q4/warsow vibe, and to make a map that conveys that feeling so well, and to have it work so well in such a limitted engine, is truly quite an accomplishment. vgj kold, hope to see more from you soon

This is surely a decent debut map, keep'em coming. Iam not quit sure you are right in that Grieve, I remember at least: Kolddm4 Railgun 3peaks Behbr (kolddm1) and maybe a few otherones... :) W1 ::) Wondered what happened to those maps. I made those above ones for a clan i was in a while back called _UD_ What gets me is however did you find them? And do you think you can find a link to these for me? That be great. I think that 3peaks one was some sort of unfinished rock map and i remember doing a purple lighted one. I thought I had lost those first creations forever, i guess not! I still stick with this recent map being kolddm2 through, as i actually finished it ;)

Nice job. The barrels were a bit odd (and small?), and the texturing was a little monotonous in places. But the geometry was honestly very good, and I got the impression that you spent a fair amount of time on connectivity and flow. I bet it plays pretty well.
