TORRENT ==================================================================================================== Date : 11th October 2002 Title : Torrent Filename : torrent.bsp Author : ReNo [Duncan Blair] Email Address : reno84@eidosnet.co.uk , 0201719@abertay.ac.uk ICQ# : 28651662 MSN : renobutsomebassnickedmynick@hotmail.com Home Page : http://evolution.hlgaming.com Installation Info : Unzip the contents of this zip to your half-life folder and all the files will go to their correct location. Map Description : This is a small, arena-esque map for the Snarkpit "contrast arena" comp. The contrasts (which I hope are obvious enough not to need me to explain) are hot and cold, or more precisely - lava and snow. R_speeds creep up a tad in places but the main point of this competition was to create a map with exciting and contrasting visuals. It is playable on a Duron 800 with a 32mb Geforce2 mx, so if you have a more impressive spec than that you should get by ok. The snowfall also hits the FPS a fair bit but is crucial for the competition. Perhaps if enough people care I will make a version with less FPS eating things in it.
