Looks awesome. Are those little dead soldats I see laying on some portions of the map?

That statue looks a bit out of place imo. But the shading and texture streaching are as smooth as ever.

Extraordinary.
You're undoubtedly one of Soldat's best mappers.

personally i think he is THE best mapper. both layout and optics are always great + he releases like 1 map each two days, thats one hell of speed regarding the complexity of the maps

EDIT:
somehow i'm missing al scenery in the rar file. happens to me with db_island aswell, could you possibly upload a zip?

++Karma!

That is one of the best looking maps I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of maps.

I think the green area really disrupts the harmony of the map, otherwise you did a great map, as usual

beatiful. 11/10

Dont your maps lag like hell on servers? I mean theres loads of polys and big scenery.

jrgp · « **Reply #8 on:** October 02, 2006, 04:07:43 pm »

I love how it transitions from sand and dirt to grass, trees and water.

I love the scenery, texture, shading, and everything else about this map.

Im downloading it now...

edit: I just played the map, and love how it doesnt have polybugs.

zOMFG this map owns. I love it.

VirtualTT · « **Reply #11 on:** January 20, 2010, 09:36:59 am »

In the new version i've changed bg colours, fixed polybugs and oasises appearance.
Hope you'll like it more than old one...

yeah, we discussed this map in our forums. The main concern was the overloaded scenerys.
ps.: so yes, new version seems better

My friend taught me to play on those 3 Arenas, and i already remember how ugly they were in the past, and even after some rmks how ugly they are. I lav those themed rmks.

I love this remake, but... need two things:

Remove two boxes, are important areas to ricochete.

Illuminatus · « **Reply #15 on:** January 20, 2010, 06:05:54 pm »

wow, really nice - make it default as suggested.

Suowarrior · « **Reply #16 on:** January 21, 2010, 12:30:48 pm »

Those greeny islands should be changed back to original and png scenery should be changed/fixed.

smiluu · « **Reply #17 on:** January 21, 2010, 03:07:52 pm »

God this is old like hell. Those shadings were outstanding and ahead of their time and even to this day, it dominates.
Those islands looks like two poops in snow - fully deserted desert would look alot better.

I kind of liked the coloring in the old arena.. It was orange, brown and gray if I recall right. But here it's just two colors that
doesn't even fit together.

You're forgetting really saturated solid blue background and bright-green grass. Colors were a mess in the original Arena3. Green and yellow fit together much better, but I agree that in this case islands are way too green comparing to the rest of the map. It would look better if there's less grass and if that grass has a tiny bit of yellow tint.

A few pillars or similar sceneries at the bottom (under the islands?) would be a nice addition to gameplay and visuals. Low is rather vulnerable, but pillars could at least be used for hiding/camping.

I know VTT knows better than to follow this suggestion, but just for reference: No.

Luv this map simply for of its older nostalgic style. Yes I know it isn't old if you really want to compare it to the prehistoric Ash etc.
