Awoken Madness

I played this map map with big pleasure. Excellent structure of the map. Great balance armor/weapon/ammo. Have to play.

This map has it all: hidden buttons, vast yet intricate and satisfying arenas in which to obliterate monsters, and a frankly maddening number of monsters to obliterate. I enjoyed it a lot!

Beat this on Hard, amazing when you consider how hardcore Mazu can be with the combat, tricks and general difficulty (I play most of his other maps on Normal). It's an excellent and difficult map (but fair) and so so rewarding when you beat it. Some of the traps are geninuely diabolical and would do horror to Sandy Petersen so keep on your toes and expect ANYTHING! One of the most memorable custom Quake maps I played but not for the faint-hearted.

Even when he had just begun, Mazu had a serious sense of style in his experimentation and use of gameplay mechanics to create more interesting scenarios than the usual heavily-decorated hallway simulators that were popular at the time. A must-play if you enjoy your Quake spicy.
