Original review by Lord Griever:
You know it. You loved it, hated it, and were deathly sick of it. Bespin Streets is back. Tysplo has kindly ported ffa_bespin to JKA. And that's all it is. Just a port. No changes made, just good old Bespin Streets FFA!
And that is not necessarily a bad thing. Obviously, all the familiar areas make a return, such as the landing pad, the streets themselves, and the rectangular building. There's not all that much that can be said about this, as it is simply a port. A most welcome port, however. I find the base maps in JKA to be rather boring, and there is only five of them. The base maps in JK2 managed to stay fresh the entire year and a half I played the game. Bravo, Tysplo!

New Textures - Yes(JK2 textures) Bot Support - Yes New Music - No
The only thing that has changed with this version is the fact the problem with Rift Sanctuary has been rectified. That's all there is too it! This has been fixed by [BLU]LCARS> but the map was not originally done by him as he clearly states in the readme.

********************* * FFA_Bespin Update * ********************* I know a lot of people were having problems with the Rift Sanctuary map (the crystals map) after installing either the original Night Bespin 2310AD map or the original FFA_Bespin map. The issue as far as I can tell has to do with the flares textures from JK2 being imported to JKA. I have no idea why the Rift Sanctuary would be calling up flares from other maps, but when I took these maps out of my base folder the textures returned to normal. So I took the liberty of fixing that issue and now with this updated version of the FFA_Bespin map you should have the textures restored to normal on the Rift Sanctuary without any real noticeable changes to this map. All credit should go to the original author, who's original readme file is included below. I simply saw a bug and fixed it. To install and correct the bug simply delete the old ffa_bespin.pk3 file from your GameData\base folder and extract the new ffa_bespin_update.pk3 file to the GameData\base folder.
