Mos Eisley Spaceport

Description
There are a number of things that could be said about this super map by Rends, but it is probably best summed up thusly:

This is the map you are looking for.

Jokes aside ([i]"You don't need to see my sense of humor"[/i]), Rends's "Mos Eisley Spaceport" is about as accurate a recreation of any movie location as one could hope for. It recreates, of course, the iconic "wretched hive of scum and villainy" we all saw in great detail in Star Wars, and it (most probably) matches that detail to a T. (atooine. Okay I promise I will stop.)

There's a lot to see here, and it is of course best summed up by simply downloading the map and trying it out. What's most interesting about this map is the talented blending of stock assets with custom assets (the map is populated by a majority of the latter, although most are so well-done you wouldn't guess it at first glance). You can walk into an innocuous small building and all of the sudden find yourself in an underground pathway leading to several hangars and walking you under a large part of the map (this part specifically was probably my favorite), such is the level of detail.

What's neat too is seeing several movie locations created so faithfully. It wouldn't be fair to mention "movie locations" without making special note of the representation of Wuher's cantina in this map, because it's been done [i]very[/i] well. From the droid detector at the door ("We don't serve their kind here!") to Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, this is a sight to see. And what is truly incredible is that it's just a piece in this immersive map - not to lay it on too thick about the detail, but the map is so large and so detailed that you could play through the whole map and miss something as neat as the Cantina simply because there are so many other neat things. Some other highlights include the (numbered!) docking bays with the ships landing and taking off (as well as... other things) and the small Imperial base, with the security cameras (nice touch!).

I could wax descriptive about the map some more, but the reality of it is simply that you should just go play it. It's an incredible job and easily one of the best maps available for this game.
