The godfather of all copper-based mods and maps! Pretty fantastic, and a must-play for anyone trying to get into Quake maps!

This is the very definition of perfection. "Underdark, Overbright" presents an episode which — on the surface — has a classic feel to it. Nothing here is so far removed from the base experience of Quake that it will sour purists. Rather, it builds upon that foundation, with cleverly routed maps and plenty of ogre grenades that ricochet when you least expect them. Everything seems artfully positioned, with monsters and ammo being carefully balanced. this extends even into co-op play, where entire puzzles may change to accommodate increased player counts. Though the biggest highlight for me were the secrets throughout — especially at the end of the start map!
This episode is great throughout. Very well thought out maps with great flow, interesting ideas, and fun encounters all the way through. Not a single boring map in here.

Visually really nice as well without falling into the trap of being overly detailed.
Would give it more stars if I could.
the q3dm6 adaptation (udob4) is a personal favorite of mine, top 5 easily. an absolute must play.
Required reading for anyone interested in custom Quake maps. Excellent across the board.
