Description : This is an idea I had kicking around for a while but I was too busy with my county jail
style map to get to it. Then along came the Urban Terror Mapping Contest. Aside went
the other map and I got to work on this one. The brush work is clean, but I'd like to
tweak the FPS when standing in the main court area. Overall I'm pretty happy with it
considering the amount of time I had to do it in.

* Map/Creative Notes *

I took a few hints from a local mall. Otherwise, it's all from my head. I wish the Q3 engine could do better with more
polys. :(
The layout of the map may seem like there are unused parts. That may be true in the gametype you are playing, but I set it
up so that different gametypes will utilize different parts of the map and mix up the gameplay as you change gametypes.
Have fun and enjoy the map. )


* Other Info *

I have an extremely busy life between my wife, my job, running Clan {TRIAD}, upkeep of the clan's webpage, and
playing these games online. Somehow I still find time to do this time consuming creative map making stuff.
Ya know, someone could pay me to do these things in my spare time. (Please?)
