The overall visuals are interesting, and there are some nice details here and there. Except for the big tree with blue lights under it, the roots look artificial and clumsy, also the generic alien neon light plants there feel like they belong to some other map. Love the skybox or should I say forestbox, mossy alien ship, swamp, and the plants in the river near waterfall <3 No idea how it plays as I only tried training mode. Really hard to judge distances and scale as the references are natural but way off-scale.. I guess one gets used to it. Feels somewhat big, which is nice IMO, although I'm sure not everyone will agree. I'm all for bigger maps like Raindance, which contributes to more strategic gameplay and coordination instead of the general chaos / fragfest that is Sunstar. _________________ a.k.a. topelius \| EU-AMS

Overall though, it's not bad, I just got done playing it in a match for the first time, the routes are strange, but there are enough hills around the flag stand that one can grab from practically any angle. _________________ http://www.twitch.tv/shadoom78 Last edited by DarthGamer on Tue May 08, 2012 9:41 am, edited 1 time in total.

The look and feel of Tartarus is something that I did not expect, but very much appreciate. I would love to see more maps with similar environments in future patches. Well done. As for the rest of the patch... It looks like there were some great changes made. I'll have to check them out further soon. _________________ -Guardfather

Looking at the name, I thought it's gonna be a space station or something space-y.. but its quite the opposite.

It looks really cool, size seems about on par with sunstar, and most med-sized maps. can't comment on gameplay yet.
