A nice urban/industrial level from M.Sandt, which while having nothing new still has good solid gameplay. There's a few well thought-out puzzles and the level flows smoothly - texturing is quite nice, shading brilliant. Monster to ammo ratio is very well done, sometimes enemy placements are predictable but that just adds to the fun. Grab it now! The map!

Misc. Author Info : I was born in 1984 and I have worked with Duke since 1997.
Anyways
for more info about my 'Duke past' go check my MSDN site. I'll be
a high-school graduate within two months and I'll go to army
next
January. I'm a pro-American and anti-religion and I like to
watch
and think of 'Fucking Åmål' (Swedish teen film about lesbians
-
'Show Me Love' in the US) all day. That's all I have been doing
since March 2003.
Other Levels : Mssp1-Mssp7, O'Boy, Dm1-Msdm5, Duke Tournament TC, three
versions
of MSSP Episode, some crappy newbie levels and then I took part in
CBP1, 2 & 3 projects. I have also made a level for Unreal Tournament
& Quake 3 Arena.
Description : "I have been building these maps for Duke since christmas
1997 and
now I'm gonna finish it. This map which you are holding right now
in your hands is my last map ever for Duke Nukem 3D." - That's what
I said in 2001 in MSSP7 readme. Call me a liar if you wish because
that's what I am.
This is a typical city level. It's as big as original Duke city levels
and it has some details. I could have made it bigger & more detailed
(I used about half of the available sectors) but I have
better things
to do. This level has no new innovations.
Anyways this map has only ONE CRATE. So you can't call me a lazy person
without imagination. I didn't fill every room with boxes when I couldn't
find inspiration. I made something else.
Shadows are realistic by the way (maybe not good looking but realistic).
Build sucks because you have to do shadows by yourself. In games like
Quake & Unreal the engine creates shadows - you just tell it where the
light is. When you see a shadow in this level there's always a light
source for it.
Plot : Shoot 'em.
Additional Credits To : FakirBaba for inspiraton - not just design but also for
making FBSP002 which
later inspired me to make a small city level, 'New York Plaza', Fucking Åmål,
AMC forums, 'The Duke3D Community', Fucking Åmål, Dukeweb for elevator tutorial
(which didn't work so I had to replace it with a teleport),
Euronews for reporting about Iraq war while I was building, Fucking Åmål,
Planetduke, Fileplanet, Kimmo Nikkanen for Finnish Build guide, 3DRealms for
making a decent game called Duke3D, Chowderhead3 for throwing stupid insults and
then regreting it later, Fucking Åmål, you and Fucking Åmål.
