Popularity

Map is not very popular in competitive play, but very popular in FFA. Servers quickly fill up when this map cycles round.

Appeal

Map is quite small, ability to rj and bunny and lack of RA makes it very fast-paced map. Even distribution of weapons and items makes domination by a single player in FFA difficult. Quad is placed in unusual place.

Critisism

Map is too small for many players in FFA. Causes camping and spawn-frags. The popularity of this map in FFA exacerbates these problems. The RL chamber is a infamous spawn-camping spot.

Areas

There are 4 main areas. First, biggest one is yard. Second - LG chamber. Third - Quad-below. Fourth - RL chamber.

Yard

Place which connects all areas, where you can jump to other place of map or teleport to Quad after pressing a button.

LG chamber

Connected with yard by small passage, teleport to GL/from quad-below.

Quad-below

Place below Quad. It's possible to reach a Quad by a single or double RJ.

RL chamber

Good place to hide. Spawn-camping in FFA here is a problem.

How to Play

Play it good.

Duel

Some notes on this particular gametype. If nobody plays this map in this gametype, remove it.

2 on 2

Ditto.

4 on 4

Probably too small for 4 on 4, really.

Free for All

No subtlety with this one. Just grab yourself an RL and kick some butt! This map is manic when full. When spawning in the RL chamber being camped by a spawn-camper, try and grab the RL as fast as possible to try and beat them to the draw.

Screenshots

I'm going to flesh out a screenshots section later. Too lazy atm. =)
