  • AMATEUR QUAKE 3 LEVELS FROM <2007
    •  astronomy

    An ongoing level-project made for CPMA duel
    Has been featured in numerous tourneys and subjected to high-level tournament play and tweaked
    several times for balance since its first release in 2006.
    Playing a purely aim-based game has been made harder with the close ranges and the tight
    hallways, encouraging prediction and listening for the enemy in order
    to set up ambushes rather than relying on sniping or brute force skills.
    It provides a refreshing difference to most other tournament levels,
    and sets a niche for itself.

    inverted penguin

    A 2vs2 team deathmatch level I made in collaboration with a norwegian online friend called Fjoggs.
    It's for CPMA and it's quite well liked so far.

    Yet To Be Named

    An early Work in Progress map for Reaction Quake 3

    chop3tourney1

    A rather old CPMA 1on1 map that development discontinued of when my hd died and the map file disappeared.
    A very early project, but a good learning project and 'reboot' of my mapping skills.
