Description: After the intricate detail of Demon Base, I decided to go for the grand scale this time. Marvel at the views from the top of the enormous ice shelves! Actually, don't, because you'll die. It's not that easy. (MB); My brother never quite got the hang of convincing outdoor architecture, which is a pity because this map almost lives up to the grandeur of its description. If you can overlook the consequent TARDIS-like effects, the texturing is consistent and restrained, atmosphere is good and the "Knee-Deep in the Dead" sky fits nicely. There are no big monsters but UV skill level is still quite a challenge because enemies swarm and there is little cover. An in-joke concerning his first map (MARTIN.WAD) made me smile. (cs99cjb)
