This has being floating around of my HDD for a good year. It started off as a Map made by aliminuim who is a e+ mapper. When it came to me it was fairly bare bones and i added most of the visual detail and configure the layout so to improve r_speeds etc. Now i have released this map to tribute my good friend aliminuim. Sorry its a year late

Re: XPTEAM001 (New map)
Great job guys
One question. why this map must have such a strange name? XPTEAM001? >.> really annoying, sorry.. best option would be to give the name that is simple, has an interesting name and what's the most important the name that says something about that map. but it's only my opinion.

Re: XPTEAM001 (New map)
Mhm. I tried to think, what the map might suggest to me and nothing. Anyway this watter is too much invisible (transparent). I didn't know what it is, watter or only abbys. What else, where is Excessive Plus logo?
and these tunnels doesn't fit a bit..
sorry for my criticism

Re: XPTEAM001 (New map)
The aesthetic stlye is just abit random i must admit and there are definately so elements which overpower other elements. But im happy enough with it as each area seems to be atleast from most angles visually peasing but then ofc thats objective.
In leymans i probley should of stuck with one theme but i cant be assed to change it as i am busy in other projects where im learning new things unlike in quake sorry.
PS: about the e+ logo (you will have to imagine one) if anyone wants the map file to continue .. doing stuff to it. PM me.
(i dont mind critz mzi without people like you the world would have much worse design)

Re: XPTEAM001 (New map)
Nice map meteor, i like the textures and the overall look but ... did you wanted this to be played succesfully on e+ servers or you just made it for fun? Because as you already know, there are no maps on public servers in rotation that are 20Mb heavy and so demanding. Every map with complex textures and many details becomes fail on public servers because not all ppl here have a good pc config with tuned up graphics for design and stuff ,and its annoying when you get the fps drops all the time when entering a large rooms with 15 other players. 
suggestion: if you want a popular map,make it more simple about textures ( exclude fog,effects and shit) and make a simple - not so big map - like overkill with awesome room positioning and it won't get rotated every time like lffd on beer 
simplicity is geniality remember that

Re: XPTEAM001 (New map)
My moto if it gets played it gets played. I dont mind.
Anyways for me this is my last quake map atleast for along time as i study games art degree atm and i focus on more advanced game engines udk/crysis etc. Quake mapping for all its pleasures will have to fade away.
Yes i know the smaller files are more commonly played but the average pc today can handle 3 times what ive put in that map (even my toaster could tbh haha).. anyhow the map itself i more or less finished about a year ago i only spent the last 1 and a half days making it complete so i dont really feel much for it anymore. I did it so i could finish it to get it out of the way. it was annoying me it was so close to being finished but wasnt. you understand
