I am not sure when this map was first released, but I know its definatly one of the classics. This map must be played from both teams to be appriciated. I once played this map from the human's side after playing it from the spiders side, and never realized that they were the same maps.

As a human, you spawn in, and the air is sudenly filledwith the sound of fighter jets flying over head, You look up and see the Dead Star roaring overhead, with two small escort prefab Q2 ships. After running into the base, turning right, and going down a very well lit switchback ramp system, you run out into a huge cavernous room. The sounds are very eerie, and its very dark.

As a spider, you hatch into a large Very dark room with a reactor in the middle in the early stages of meltdown. The dark exspansivnes makes you feel very at home, as does the vent system for the hatcheis.

The vent system is the maps one problem, as all the humans have to do is mine jump up there and establish a almoast impenitrable base. But I always enjoy trying to dig the humans out. In any case, this is definatly one of the classics and will be played for a very long time.
