I didn't realize that I had started this map pack before. I played sock's fallen1c at his recommendation after mentioning how much I liked the rooftop mechanics in another map. I probably downloaded the full pack afterwards when I saw ericw's name - I know him as the guy who has done a lot of coding wizardry so I absolutely had to check out one of his maps.

I finally played through all of the maps except for scampie's. I was looking for more mfx maps after playing through the incredible ad_swampy when I rediscovered this pack in my directory. mfx's map was nice and clean with good verticality and it employed one of my favorite styles - artificial structure built into a natural formation, mountains in this case. It was a relief to see a map from him that wasn't so incredibly dense and intricate because it seems like a reachable standard for new mappers.

I was already a huge fan of sock's map. Fallen1c was masterfully crafted and scratched my itch for another great rooftop map. I had played ericw's before but I decided to play it again anyway. My only complaint was that I wish it was longer. It had a good intro with intense combat and it looked great. It's clear that he's not only a talented coder but an excellent mapper too. I'm going to look for more of his maps to play.

Skacky's was a really pleasant surprise. The opening courtyard area was beautifully cinematic. The blue fog looked really good. All of the colors were excellent. I was admiring all of the wooden trim throughout the map and the interesting angles of some brushes, as well as the beautiful shapes of some rooms and celings. I ended up getting a 100% clear and I left satisfied. I've only played one or two other Skacky maps but the man is obviously extremely skilled.

I'll run through scampie's next. I loved his Arcane map and I love the style of all of the maps in this pack so far, so I'm sure that it's going to be good.
