I thought it might be nice to tell you guys about some of the maps NA's Dr4ko has made, since he never seems to post about them himself!

(TL;DR below -- connect to qw.quakephil.com:28002 and download SPITFIRE and SASHA today!)

Dr4ko has been making QW maps for a while now. He's got a huge amount of talent for paying attention to detail, and for thinking about how a level should flow during real game play. He's revered for taking months at a time to properly plan and create each map he makes, so you should definitely give his newest maps a try!

His latest map is called "spitfire" and features a distinctly Dr4ko-style map theme. It was released just a day or two ago, so try it while it's FRESH! It has some FAST game play once you learn the level, and feels (to me) a LOT like aerowalk. As with all maps that dr4ko makes, this one contains a huge attention to detail, but he's (literally) cleaned up any clutter he'd like to have laying around and stockpiled it away in the basement to make room for intense fights to take place. There are a couple air lifts and portals that feel 100% natural to use, and I think most people will master their use within a couple times of trying them out. You can also pull off some sweet tricks! Try jumping from the tiny ramp on the edge of ya over to the upper widget that sticks out to get up top quickly! Also try sitting above mh and lobbing grenades into the air lift to surprise a waiting enemy.

Dr4ko's second map is called "sasha", and he released it several months ago. It's a great map that feels like a blend of dm6 and... maybe aerowalk? The routes to control this map are simple and straight-forward, but there are also plenty of ways to get a chance to regain control once you lose it. After playing the map a few times, it's easy to develop tactics and routes that work great for just about any style of game play.

Give them a shot now!

Wow, these maps are truly crazy bananas. Some extraordinary fantasy in this guy =)
Some of the things are splendid in themself, but it all becomes a LSD mish mosh alltogether.
Thanks for sharing!

I don't know about the layouts, but the variety of textures hurts my brain
