I've made some maps before, but they've mostly been crap, so i haven't releasd 'em.

This is a smallish DM/TM/RM/PM map. It's waypoints are n00bish and only partially done, but because it's not that big, the bots wont get stuck 'cos they'll always have someone to fight. The map doesn't look too fancy, I couldn't think of any scenery fitting in with the texture, but while playing this one, you woudn't have time to stop and admire the view, anyway ;). I think the shading is quite decent, though.

Try playing the map on Pointmatch and 10 bots --> great fun!

Do you know how many maps are named "Arena 4"??? Please, don't name your maps "Arena 4", "Jungle 2" etc [:-hypnotized]

Ok, quite unimaginative name, I admit, but please give me some comments on the map itself...

Hmmm...

ways to improve?
maybe... well... just make a new map? try blending colors and rounding some edges. the more you work with it the better you get :)

Usually, i make my maps more round, complex and colorful, but the whole idea for this one were the tetris-style, single-coluored blocks... :S

I't look's good..

But it's a bit booring!
Try implementing some more scenery, and maybe try shading it a bit more..

EDIT: Nevermind the scenery part..
