    Firstly, I hope it's ok that I put in brackets that this is a puzzle map. The name "Earth" isn't very descriptive, but it's the combination of the Map and Gametype that give you an idea of what this map is really like. :squirrel_giggle:

    So I said my previous puzzle map TERRORtories would be my last puzzle map. I lied, this one is!

    AIM: Reach the territory goal ON YOUR OWN, that is all.

    This map is a mix between mental accuity and technical skill. It's also Long, really really LONG.

    I've managed to come up with yet more new puzzle ideas and thrown in a few fond favourites.

    Screenshots + Tips:

    The end is only the beginning.

    Thanks.

    Yeah the pics really don't give it away, infact almost everything me and my 2 friends are doing has nothing to do with getting past that particular puzzle (except in a few very rare situations where one of us may be somewhere useful)

    A tip of the hat to you for not giving away the answers!

    Very good cryptic clues, nice hard! (That seems dirty for some reason...)

    I will definately DL!

    Lol, well playing my puzzle map with a weary mind is definately not the best state to be in, it will only lead to frustration coupled with further mental fatigue.

    The very nature of my puzzle maps are to confuse and intimidate, I guess this is the first time I've managed to confuse the player before they've even downloaded it!

    Re: Earth (Puzzle Map)

    Lol @ Spanky "When I do my next "Last One"". Touche! This one really was my last!!!

    There is indeed a reason this map is called "Earth". It is because the gametype is called "Hell". When you load up a gametype and map it always says "[Gametype] on [Map]" on the bottom left of the screen, so the name of my gametype and map give a fair description of what this puzzle is like.

    Re: Earth (Puzzle Map)

    No you're supposed to do this on your own (Hence me saying to complete it "ON YOUR OWN" in big capital letters on my front post and in the description of the map). The pics have several people in it just to make it look interesting and to add confusion.

    Obviously you can have other people in the party with you while you are doing it, but you're not supposed to physically use each others in-game bodies to solve any of the puzzles, the entire course can and should be completed by yourself.

    Yes I made a few minor alterations since the testing phase (depending on which test version you were playing). Almost all the changes I made were to make things easier or just altering the position of a few items.

    EDIT: the lag from the level is emense! i'm in the first area and if i look out to the rest of the map the framerate drops like a rock.

    Re: Earth (Puzzle Map)

    The lag is only bad inside those fenced in boxes. It's not to do with me, it's to do with the nature of looking at those fenced bits under the stairs. Once you get out of the first two rooms you'll be fine trust me.
