Station 19

Description
I think one of the first maps I ever downloaded was by TK409er, and let me say they only get better over time. I love this map! It's so unique. It's rare to get an underwater map; I can only remember ever seeing a few. And since this map was made for a mapping contest it's extra-special good.

It seems to be like this "Station 19" is a mining station. When I first spawned in I couldn't figure out what this annoying noise was. After exploring a bit (and since it's a duel map, there's not a whole lot to explore) I discovered the source of the sound: a rather large (and functional!) drilling apparatus. I was quite impressed with the drill bits, considering they were made with brushes, and the animated functional bit really adds a new dimension to the map. The [i]only[/i] beef I have with the map is how bright the water is, although if he had made it look proper, you'd be fighting in the dark, which is probably just as bad. The very bright cyan rather grew on me as I tested it.

Despite the fact that this is a duel map, it does contain botrouting, which is rather nice. It also features new textures (such as the underwater skybox) and some very nice background music. One of the best bits about this map is going around and checking out all the added detail (the extra drill bits, the various panels and parts, the extra drilling equipment, etc), and the glass walls and rounded viewports really give it an underwater feel. All it's missing is some fish. :)
