============================================================
This map has been created for the quake 3 mapping competition #4
hosted by maverickservers.com. (http://mapping.maverickservers.com/)
For the theme I have been inspired by games I recently (in 2012) played, like
Team Fortress 2 or Rage.

UPDATE:
Today, on January 17th 2014 I finally managed to find the time to 
fix the remaining bugs on the map and put together a final release
version. 
Here are some lame excuses for the delay: School, girlfriend, work for
QuakeLive, my dog ate the .map file. 
The file size is stupidly big because the .pk3 contains a lot of high resolution
textures, some of which I did not use on the map but wanted to include
to give people the opportunity to use them in their own work (please credit me
if you do).

MAP DESIGN CONCEPT:
The map's theme builds up on McSarge's, a fictive company for deathmatch supply 
and manufacturing. Offering Rocket Launchers, Jumppads, 
Armors with superior build quality, the enterprise managed to build up an 
overwhelming monopoly. Prior to entering the Deathmatch market in 1999, the family business 
founded in the late 19th centuary focused on coal and steel productions only; 
expanding quickly and eventually raising up their palett of products. 
To date, the company that went up a steep path during the industrial revolution 
still has it's old fashioned beauty to it, as well as the flawless product quality.

OTHER INFO:
Making the level took about 6 weeks (+1.5 years of delay and one day of bug fixing)
, including developing the layout,creating the textures from references 
(taken from cgtextures.com) texturing, lighting, shader effects and technical optimization. 
On the map itself you can find one Mega Health, one Red Armor, one Yellow Armor, 
two Green Armors and all of Quake 3's weapons minus the BFG. Gameplay wise, 
I was aiming towards a fast paced and vertical setup as I usually tend to do. 
Additionally, to give the level an unique touch, I tried to develop some 
extraordinairy angles and routes to have an extended learning curve for the player 
while keeping the basic layout simple enough to make the layout accessable and easy.
