Description: This map is set inside a crater - there's not much cover but the terrain itself is far from flat with many deep indentations (which can provide cover for a man). There's a tower in the center, which I assume generates the force field which allows for Sam's survival in this circular arena. There are also a few elevated areas and the occasional rock poking out. The weapon placement is fairly balanced - but you won't find a single piece of armor or health on this map - this is an ironman contest - nor will you find any extra ammo. I recommend this map be played with the 'unlimited ammo' option turned on as otherwise the quantity of ammo available will be very low and players will be running around with dual shofields and knives - the flip side of the coin is that an unlimited-ammo minigun seriously unbalances this map (and there is a minigun on the map.)

Positive comments: Suitable, in my opinion, for 4+ players, since this map is quite large. The map's appearance is quite decent, and if you're a sniper, then this is your promised land, since you can see clear across the map from one of the elevated areas found near the outside of the crater. The adjusted gravity is interesting and fun to play around with, although jumping could be an excercise in suicide here, due to people with a minigun gunning you down as you're floating gracefully in a leisurly arc. There are very few clipping problems and irrational lights, and unless you look straight up, you're not likely to notice that oftentimes a quarter of the sky will turn a different color... But other than that, the lens flare looks nice, as does the Earth.

Negative comments: If the host doesn't use 'unlimited ammo', your weapons will have a very short operational lifespan (such as about 5 seconds). You'll spend most of your time running around trying to grab more weapons for their ammo. In addition, the shotgun family is nearly useless in this map, since it's big and wide open and you're not likely to be able to get close to the enemy. In addition, the 'edge of the map' is easily reachable from several of the elevated areas at the edge of the crater. You can look down into the endless void, and then realize that you're not on the moon but on something resembling "Dark City" (a floating city in space). Of course, if you're not one to complain about inconsistencies in map design, you'll say "screw clipping problems, I just want to climb up to the top and snipe with the minigun!", climb up to the top, and snipe.

OVERALL SCORE: 5/10 - on a personal level, I don't like this map. It looks cool, it's fairly well designed with few inconsistencies, but I prefer maps with . Perhaps with a large amount of players and low-lag server, I'd like it, but as it stands...
