* Known Bugs *

This level has been through a fair bit of testing and seems pretty solid.

I think the jump-lifts are working well, after much tweaking.

Yes, there are two CELL ammo boxes, and no Lightning Bolt. If people suggest
it I might add one, but I put the cells in mainly for use with the Killer
Quake Pack (KQP) orbs.


* Description *

This is a fairly simple map (although being my first real map, it took some
time), consisting of 8 rooms (4 on each of 2 levels). It is symmetrical,
smallish, dark, and uses only ID's 3 black stone textures (except for the
lights). I did take the time to meticulously line up the textures, make
lights that don't cast shadows on themselves, etc.

It really gets hot in here with just a few bots, partly because it's small
but mostly because the good items are near the center (where everyone might
see you). There aren't really any camping spots, though there are some
ambush points... near respawn points... ;)

I plan to add at least one more group of player-triggered weapon traps, a
few more gaps in walls or floors, and rearrange items better. I think it
plays fairly fast but I'll try to optimize it.

This is my second map; Carbon4 was my first. Carbon14 may be my next. :)

Let me know what you think! I enjoy feedback of all sorts (well, not the
flaming kind) and I intend to have some really great maps soon, so your
ideas are appreciated!
