I find this map curious because, as you can see from the name, this map is intended to be a duel map. But it's not available for the duel game mode. He must be using the term loosely, as this map is sized more to be -- and is available for -- free for all.
So let me say that these are the most geometric caves I've ever seen. The rooms are all quite boxy (as in angular, as opposed to random and rocky, as a cave would be). The architecture includes some random features (a lot of spikes, probably a result of the mapping tutorials) and is otherwise pretty bland. I also didn't see much more than 3 or 4 textures throughout the entire map.
While it's visually a bit lacking, it seems decent from a gameplay perspective. It's spacious, but has obstacles here and there to spice up gameplay. In fact I'd say it would be good for guns play, if there were any gun pickups. Overall there's a lot of work that should be done to improve it -- lighting, texturing, architecture -- but it shows good potential, so hopefully the author will take some of those suggestions into consideration for his future works.
