Ahh, I'm quite disappointed that this has lost the MOTW (13.11.06 - 19.11.06), though I agree that it has some faults, gameplay-wise.  It still looks nice.

-awfull background, bullets can't be seen in some spots
-pointless cave system
-scale of the tiki heads shouldn't be that different
-slows even good computers

Summarized, this map is rather a piece of art than a map. The visuals are astonishing and original, so is the idea. The bright background made gameplay pretty bad though, bullets are hard to see, and the Cambodia like cave system in the lower right corner is totally unnecessary. Also, some of the playtesters were disturbed while playing by a tiny number of frames per second.
I can't agree with most of this post...  :'(
Cave system is quite simple compared to  Cambodia: it's just a bit more complicated then arena2 for example... And it really makes gameplay much varied and makes map suitable for allmost any weapon including m79 or even chainsaw... Any map needs some fency structures... It's good contrast to spray-ground above...
This explains that difference in size of tiki heads...
This map runs absolutely smoothly even on my old desktop with Radeon9600XT...
The background seem to be weak point of my map  :( ... However it correspond to photos i used to make the map... So I just can recomend to use some weapon mod...

I've already made ctf map with similar style.
