This jam has some really strong maps standing out above a baseline that's pretty good as well. The Copper mod of course does wonders both for the moment-to-moment level of fun and also the potential for mappers to create original scenarios, with quality of life that helps get the most out of the time available. Mapping for this jam certainly sold me on the Copper mod for life.

The Dismal Omlette by Juzley, which instantly made me a fan through cleverly layered combat with hidden enemies, serves as a precursor and teaser for The Punishment Due. Grim Gallows by Markie is what really solidified his status as a legend of detailing, storytelling, and fun-first gameplay early on. Primordial by JCR is still one of the all-time peaks of exploration gameplay in Quake, even among fierce competition from JCR himself.

Just slightly below those three in my estimation, you still have some very enjoyable maps like Lunaran's Quad is a Four Letter Word squeezing the absolute most out of a tight vertical layout as well as Copper's own changes; Dies Irae by PoolboyQ providing scale and adventure to the ikwhite/lava combination pioneered by Lunaran in Func Map Jam 2; and Sunscorched by Grome introducing a new and thematically appropriate mechanic, though not quite giving it the full conclusion it deserved.
Absolutely fantastic pack here. The standouts to me are Markie's fantastic singleplayer rendition of Grim Dungeons (q3dm14), JCR's wild nonlinear beautiful lava cavern, and Juzley's map which feels like it could've fit right into The Punishment Due (which is one of my favorites!).

A must play.
So many bangers in this jam.

Juzley giving us what would end up as the precursor to Pun, JCR's crazy nonlinear lava caves, h4724 and PoolboyQ coming out of the gate with a splash, Newhouse taking their brand of eclectic hostile-to-player design to crazy places. The list goes on and on.

This is one of my favorite Jam releases to date, if not my absolute favorite. Not only is the quality on point, but the diversity is there to back it up.
Great set of maps in general. Some better, some worse, but all interesting this way or another. Personally for me Lunaran and Markie maps stood out. With Lunaran's I was highly impressed (and inspired) by that tricky layout with elevator in the center; really inventive. With Markie's I loved its secrets and visuals, up to date it looks as most hostile dark fantasy as I know among his maps - love bloody gloomy visuals. Also it's huge! For 20 minutes no less. Anyway all maps are great. Ionous, Newhouse, Com.Beep... etc. great company of heroes!
