The Bunker is a three-story bunker with long halls and large rooms filled with tables and beds for the troops. Allies start from the top and work there way to the bottom to meet the Axis and vise versa. Nothing fancy bout this map but it provides great performance and lots of action.
Presentation / Technical
Texturing was basic but was applied correctly with only a few rotation errors. The rotation errors were on the underneath of the tabletops...the table angle supports. That·s minor since in this action packed map you wont have time to notice it. There was no Z-fighting which makes me very happy to see since this is the second map I have reviewed for the author...he knows how to use the Mohr.
Lighting was adequate and fitted the theme. Nothing out of place and the red lighting gave you the feeling of staying on alert. No lighting errors were prevalent either.
Brushwork was basic and but did the job. Some areas branched out from everything being "square" which was nice to see. That little bit of time spent in the detail department made a difference. Speaking of detail the one exception to the basicness of this map was the spiral staircase...its a secret staircase to the Allies but not for the Axis. That shows the author is branching into details from what I have seen on his other map releases. No major errors, only one so small its really not worth mentioning but as many may know I·m picky on the details, lol....its in the spiral staircase but you would never see it in gameplay.
Creativity and Theme went different paths in the review marks. Creativity got low marks simply since the map was based off a bunker....nothing new there. Theme received above average marks since overall nothing was too out of place. The Allied spawn had wallpaper that I doubt was in bunkers but since that·s a fraction of the map it didn·t weigh too heavy on the score.
Playability / Game Flaws
Game flaws? Didn't see any so lets get to Playability, which was the strong point of this map. You couldn·t ask for better performance but take into consideration that your pc is only rendering a few rooms at a time....still was very high though. I thought that "flow" and "fun" would be average to slightly above. I·m glad I finally got to play this map as it received a point or two higher in each area. This is one of those "Not exactly eye candy but action packed fun" maps. After all that·s what we really want...fun! Eye candy will only get you so far.
Conclusion
This is much better than the other map that I have reviewed for the author. Again if this was the second release by the author he is progressing quite well. Don·t download this map if you are not looking for the following in a map: Great performance, action packed fun, and virtually error free mapping. With that said hurry and click on the links below!
