MAPBOT'S REVIEW

In more than a few words...
Brushwork -- Generally sound with minimal brushwork overlap. No tears are apparent during game play.
Performance and Stability -- Smooth and consistent gameplay through use of fog occlusion and zoning.
Gameplay and Fun -- Open areas contain unique exploding and burning props. Closed areas create claustrophobic and high pressure gameplay. This creates a lively and stimulating environment that enhances the zombie's behaviour.
Graphics, Lighting and Polish -- Custom made textures are liberally located providing a context to the locations they support. Lighting is somewhat subdued and washed out giving a unique printed ink effect.
Creativity  -- The MacabreDay version of this map pits players against a zombie horde that is currently in possession of an air base. Well considered planning gives the base a zonal feel with accommodation for all the base's functional needs. This is highlighted with a control tower, hangar, landing area, parking area, recreational room, et al. Numerous exploding props scattered throughout the map give players a real sense of the destructive nature of the zombie horde and provide for some outstanding pyrotechnics.
KF Specific Features -- Architecture allows Bots to spawn from within buildings giving the effect of an over run base. The bots feel quite compelled to remain in some rooms at times and need a little coaxing to come out. Outside gameplay can become very intense as the horde advance and surround the players from multiple locations. Thematic traders and custom placed pickups offer a refreshing mix to standard KF features.

In a few words...
Mapbot thinks KF-Abandoned-Base-MacabreDay is the cream of the Abandoned Base series due to its' straight out of a comic book pages feel and all round balance. Mapbot also notes that this is THEDDLE's 2nd map offering for the community with the 1st offering being his introduction to the Unreal Editor. Mapbot awards this map a 4.44 out of 5.
