My Description Here we are with another great Quake 3 remake, Camping Grounds. Like most remakes, it was given quite a nice face lift into the transition to the Unreal world. While it is not an exactly the same as we may remember it, the gameplay hasn't changed a bit. I still found my self fighting for control of the U damage and the rockets just like in Quake 3. It's really nice to see older games come back and not change a bit in gameplay.

The Rating Tech: A really nice job was done with this, while there are still a few spots that could of had better looks at, they are hard to notice and most people wont even care. I really like the area near the sniper rilfe where he made the ground look like it collapsed on it's self. Small touches like that really make a good port. Fun Factor: This was one of the most played maps in Quake 3 Arena and with the gameplay not changing very much this map has retained the fun factor it had back in the day. Item Placement: Everything is where it should be, I liked the idea of putting the minigun where the shotgun was at and keeping the green with the green (plasma gun and linkgun) was a good idea too. Balance and Stability: At no point did I feel my FPS drop at all and the balance of all the weapons is perfect. Quality and Creativity: This is a port of a great map but not only does it bring the map into Unreal it does a better job than the original could. Visually, it's great to look at, even the sky has a nice amount of detail. I had to dock it a few points in the creativity department just because this is a port and is not 100% the designers fresh idea. While I wouldn't say not to download it because of this, it is just one of the rules I go by when reviewing a map.
