Review by Kim Robinson on 1st August 2007
FbSp003: City Under Siege is pretty much exactly that, a city in the process of becoming another alien stronghold. As usual it's your job to do the down and dirty, getting in there and clearing out the invaders. Gameplay is superbe. There's a reasonably high number of baddies for you to contend with and sometimes it's just not feasible to run in, guns blazing. There's plenty of nooks and crannies to duck into to attack from, which while adding that extra aspect to the playing style also increases the 'siege' atmos tremendously. Design is, as is usual from Fakir, top notch. The new, optional skybox fits the level really well. A little empty in parts but you won't be hanging around for long anyway. A real masterpiece - take a gander!

( Dutch, but not too hard to navigate )
Description : A part of the alien invasion army has invaded
and fortified a city that, once completely
taken over, will give the aliens a great
benefit because of it's strategic position.
You are to enter through the old subway system
and clear as much ground as possible to make
way for EDF's troops.
Other Levels : can be found on my site.
Additional Credits To : Everyone in the community that had an overall
positive influence on my maps;
James, Jesse, Maarten Pinxten, Alejandro,
C3P0, William Gee, Mikko and Bob Averill.
Another big thanks to Mikko for giving me
some ideas that made this map extra-awesome.
Some credit goes to Red Alert 2 as well, for
the idea of placing sandbags around buildings
and such.
Finally, I'd like to apologize to Cody for my
irrational behavior a few years back, and I'd
like to wish you the best of luck on current
and future projects.

I've included a custom skybox in this zip. It's optional, the map
looks just as good with hitile textures than it does without it.
Ofcourse, this skybox can only be used with Jonofs port; browse the
3drealms forums to find it. ( www.3drealms.com )
I've found this skybox at www.levels4you.com.
