All right, we have a new leader: Citadel of Gnhafst Koost The Morbidly Obese and Terrible (mc_q30th_thundergoose) is a properly lovely map, and can only really be criticised on the basis that it arguably goes beyond the brief "Build a map that still looks and feels like Quake, but without the hardware restrictions of the time". It's a castle penetration map with endless visual and architectural invention, which feels sort of like The Marcher Fortress ā and there is not much higher praise than that. Some fun ambushes, some satisfying secrets, some delicious tactical combat, and a real sense of moving through a real place. You can't ask for much more.

The hits keep coming with Fractured Dreams (mc_q30th_kerrash), another fine map. In this one, you fight through various small but well-realises areas, including a mine, a castle a library, a base and a brief void section. Somehow it all fits together neatly, and there's a lot of play to be had.
