 * TRICK JUMPS *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like trickjumps a lot. So I always try to include a few in my maps.
With this map, no distance for jumping is set by chance.
So check out where strafe / bunny jumps may be useful :D
Also, every jumppad expect one has AT LEAST TWO useful landing destinations.
Rocketjumps on jumppads are sometimes useful but not always necesarry.

There will be a demo with some of the trickjumps on my homepage the next few days.

 * AUTHOR's NOTES *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I started building this map I had in mind a big deathmatch map with
some very cool r_speeds (and of course a nice gameflow).
And so, the r_speeds are actually really cool :D !!
With simple items on, cg_drawgun 0 und geometric detail low, r_speeds reaches
its maximum at a point between the MH und the SG looking to the LG.
Here the maximum is 5.100 !! The average r_speeds are about 3.500 !!
With everything on high quality and showing everything the max r_speeds are 6.650!!
So don't expect any laggy spots :D

So this map should run on any system without complications :D
Of course bots slow down the performance and so does the framerate when you play
against lots of them. But nobody should have any problems playing this one at a lan
or the internet :)

 * NOTES ON TEAMPLAY *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Changes in teamplay mode were performed for http://www.teamplay.net for the badlands
competition. New item placing was created with the teamplay guys. Thx!! 



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * NOTES ON BOTSUPPORT *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Puh, bots are really stupid. Actually I hate them ;)
It took me a whole day to optimise botsupport.
They won't use the quad or the flight. The secrets wouldn't be secrets when the bots
would go for these items ;)
