Maads (Maarten Desert)

Author: Maarten v. Oostrum
Release Date: December 15 2001
Story:  Duke is dropped in a cave by a helicopter. Where he sees the following message:

“Duke, our EDF-base nearby seems to be under alien control. We received a message for help an hour ago. After that nothing. Try to find out what the hell happened there and try to locate the source of this attack”

So you know what to do!!!!

A canyon styled map a high tech base embedded into a cliff face, and a hotel situated in a wide valley. The level is appealing to the eye; it is well detailed and architecturally sound. There are plenty of rock outcroppings and rises and dips in elevation providing some realism to the environment given that there are almost no boxy borders or flat surfaces. The layout has several forks, twists and turns; the player can go the “wrong way”, but can’t get very far without realizing they need to go back in the other direction. Some basic mistakes can ruin progression; the player can get into the background areas and bypass barriers allowing for large sections of the map to be bypassed. There is also the issue of very cluttered and cramped indoor areas which are most prominent in the hotel.
