OK ...
Any comments?
Did you all that DL'd it find all the nooks and crannys?
Did you have fun?
Try it with bots set up a bit and sniping with Zarkrifles?
Try it with Redeemer mod?

Still waiting for comments here! 
I should hope to finish this map this coming weekend - 5/30 to 31/08 roughly!

Yes, I play it whenever I can!
I know - I know! 
Waylaid again! arrg!
It "eats" at me every day!
I really want to finish this map soon, but I need time and total concentration!
I am not certain I can do much more to it but I will try to!
Please be patient! 
Any last suggestions for this map?

I am not a map builder but these are things I'd do to this maps to make it a good "Redeemer" map:
Size---I personally like big maps---I would double/triple the size of this map.
I didn't see any health, jump shoes or invisibility lying around?
I'd add a ledge or two around the outside boarder of the map---places to hide.
Maybe a boulder or two to hide in---you can see out but others can't see in.
Again, I am not a map builder. I do not know the first thing about doing anything
that I wrote or if any of it is possible...or if it would make it a better map for others?
We all have favorites and personal preferences but overall I play with what is dealt.

I do not Dare make this map any larger as it is very unstable in the editor as it is!
I will try to add some of your suggestions though!
Hope it'll take it!

I am hoping to finish or nearly finish this map this coming weekend!
I know - I've said this before!
But, if my "Honey Do" list isn't too long, I may have some mapping time this weekend!

Update - DM-DeathValleyUtah_BETA - I'm working on some good ideas to add to this map!
I'll implement them Friday night!
Hopefully finish soon!

wow, How did you manage to get that many polygons in the level without a cut?!! This is a great map, but it puts lag even on my Nvidia 8600 1GB GT  . I'd recommend zoning it . But, Hook is right, I shouldn''t be complaining about my map build time. His map is HUGE! Definitely a good Deemer Arena

I found it very laggy, jerky and slow.
Either that or I'm drunk again?

Could you explain this?

Just divided the map into 4 zones and added a flush zone in each one. A flush zone will perform the
Flush-command, that cleans up the current used memory. Very useful for
huge maps. The FlushZoneInfo will perform the Flush-Command, if a PlayerPawn
enters the Zone. It gives you some more usable video memory basically .
