Wow, I used to play "rail gun wars" on this map all the time when I was a kid. *sigh* I miss those good ol' days.

One word Great

Pros

- Everything as far as the add-on goes worked; no texture errors or any other errors. - The loading poster was like no other one I have ever seen; truly something unique. - I thought the amount of supplies was overboard, I.E. way to many weapons and throwables, but uh, yeah that's a good thingÂ¿ watlolo - As far as visuals go, you nailed it. Very impressive texture selection. - You see many maps with rain, or in a storm, but you don't as often see those maps using lightning strikes; this map does. - Surviving was as usual; although the layout and the way you set up the spawn reminded me of a campaign. - Good placement and amount of turrets; more maps need to incorporate turret bases. - The map was pretty well optimized, no real lag spikes. ---------------------0.8 Review--------------------- - The lighting within the map looks more defined compared to 0.7. I can tell you spent some time on it, looks great.

Cons

- The spawn point was a bit tricky to navigate, as well as figuring out where to go next; I have never played 'The Edge' from Quake 2, and maybe I was a bit slow tonight, aha. - I noticed many flaws in the navigation mesh, which make it virtually impossible NOT to get a gold on this. ---------------------0.8 Review--------------------- - Still a few problems with the mesh, bots have trouble in some areas, but overall much better mesh design.

- I wish I could review this map better, but I can't mainly because I know nothing about 'The Edge' from Quake 2. All I can say is this map is a masterpiece for not even being all the way complete; the layout, visuals, and overall survival style make this feel like a very professionally designed map, not only that but it is fun to play! The reason I rated this far less then what I first anticipated, was because of the navigational mesh. The zombies just fail to come to your position, and the bots have so much trouble following you around. This map has everything, and to see it with a not so good navigation mesh is sad; it should only improve your score, not ruin it. I will update my review according to map updates as usual and I hope to see the the navigation fixed for the final (I do realize it's only 70%). Just as a side note I went to the website tarados.org, and it's in that half baked spanish mumbo jumbo (no offense) so I don't really know what you're trying to show us or get at when this site mainly promotes the English language. --------------------------0.8 Review-------------------------- - Overall, I believe the navigation mesh was by far the best improvement in this update. As for everything else, the map feel and structure is basically the same. I can see you polished the map a bit more, and for that I applaud you good sir, to few maps are fine tuned as good as this one. Just as another side note, I still don't know what that mexican website is about:3

Pros

Feels like a co-op map with many camping locations Very nice map structure and design Challange Enough weapons and ammo piles Big map Many zombie spawn locations

Cons

Lack of throwable items (Did not find enough molotovs or pipebombs) Can get outside the map at start - ladder seems pretty pointless Dumb bots - bad navigation or?

I really enjoyed this map! Challange, alot of camping spots, nice design etc. Can probably be a nice co-op map with a finale location. Also hope you port this to l4d2

Pros

For connoisseurs who appreciate the good. For young people who did not know the Quake 2 A remake worthy of admiration Do not let a single detail. Survival with circuit Added extras such as the generator or the elevator. Good atmosphere Multiple ways to survive

Cons

Lack debug the shadows Missing water sewer xD Little optimizing of map. Lack Hook Mod (hehehehe)

It's been a great revelation for me and I am convinced it will be for many more being able to play the most played map of Quake 2, reviving in this way has been such an experience for me and my friends were to become one of the icons of L4D. However, remember that even that is a 100% plyable map (at least apparently) there is much work to do ... not misunderstand me, just have to debug and optimize the map for a better load, otherwise everything perfect. We are eager to take out new revisions for L4D1 and L4D2 with Versus and scavenge modes.
