You have never played a game of gloom like one played on The Lost Planet: Zeqet Erelium V. I guarantee you. In fact, this is possibly the best map in gloom, ever. After the release of Speed.bsp which swept the community off it's feet, R1CH decided it was time to prove his skill as a gloom mapper and create a second version of Speed. R1CH did not disapoint.

In the visuals department, this map scores a respectable 4 cubes, and would even score a 5th if the review script allowed it. Flashing disco lights, custom AOL textures, techno music, "all your base" sound effects and more. This map has it all. There is enough visual eye-candy in this map to feed a small country for a decade. Other dazzling special effects include "Evil Depot", a mysterious creature that poisons nearby humans and halts their progress into spider territory.



In terms of gameplay, the map scores big with unique base designs. The spider base is located on an extremely fast, rotating platform. This design in itself is a great defense against humans and grenades. The rotating base will make humans so dizzy, they'll end up walking into a spiker or other defensive structure. The human base is strategically set up to prevent kami attacks. With each starting teleporter located in a seperate "room", spiders will find it close to impossible to wipe out the entire base at once!

To further the gameplay experience, R1CH added a secret back-door entrance to the human base. That silly AOL poster on the wall actually opens to reveal a hidden passage when a button is pressed from the spider's side.

To sum it all up, SpeedSE is a fantastic map, made by one of the most respected mappers and members of the community. We only hope R1CH's next offering will continue to amaze us and offer hours of fun-filled action.

Yes, this was a joke.
