Marics maps - Good to see Maric come out of the retirement to offer the Quake 2 community some more fun fresh maps
to frag on. marics105 was something different..... Nice work with the sounds! Maybe a little distracting during game play
tho :-)
Loved the spaceships, but seriously! They aren’t eco friendly (not with today’s fuel crisis....) I had to deduct 20 points
because of that.
marics106 - was quite a solid map, had a lot of fun playing that.
marics107 - I didnt have as much fun on this as the others :(, felt too vertical and cramped for me.
Sorry for the short and brief comments for your maps but you already know what i think of your other work. It was great to
see you out and about again, hopefully not for the last time! :)

Subjective Observation (What did you think of it?):
Come on, ANOTHER space map?
[Comments]
"Come on, ANOTHER space map?" was the first thing I thought when I entered this game. Just when I thought
space maps couldn't get any better than what I already saw, this map was quite unique. The base/city texture
mix in space looked like some sort of docked ship, gave this map a nice feel. However, it seems that you only
have one "part" of the square to visit which makes all of the fighting happen in one area. Nicely done, however.
Keep it up, Maric. :)

I played this one for one round on TS: mutant, while I was at work yesterday..
Couldn't use my headphones here, so I don't know how the sounds are, but the map itself has some very interesting flow and a huge intersection of activity right at the jump pad by the mega.

The corridors are a bit tight in spots, but smooth enough to allow for some movement (not many players clipping problems that I could find) and the switchbacks in the stairwells make for some funny surprise attacks on people that thought they were stalking you.

It makes for some hectic SSG action and if you can get mega and the RG you can rack up quite a few kills on people as they gravitate towards that area and go for the jump pad.

My only complaint was that with 8-10 players I had trouble finding enough bullets to spray with the chaingun.

Cool, great feedback.

Has anyone found the BFG as of yet or the quad for that matter?

Yeah, but they seem imposible to reach without hook or jetpack...

Nah, it's possible. It falls within the guidelines of vanilla Q2, you just have to stumble into the right spot.

Visually lovely, however I do feel this was the weak link in Maric's entries. Once more too many cliffs, and narrow ledges. Once you move away from the edges there is a great bit of halls though, and they can make for some interesting battles. I love the bunker/sniper nest the teleport leads to.

Great skybox and some cool rocks on this one. I like this one better than marics105. Looking forward to give it a try at tastyspleen. ;D

Sorry for bumping this but, did Maric get banned from here? ;o


edit: sorry again, I see that he did post here after he said he was banned, so I'd gues he worked it out

All is well...we're one big (dysfunctional) happy thing-a-ma-jig still.
