Untested mapspam. Loads of sloppy placements and things causing imbalance in play ON TOP of the unit imbalance. When making this map, the person operating Fear™ & Loathing™ used no thought, no plan, no testing whatsoever. So there is no reason to bother downloading, in my opinion. Save your hard drive space for a Cremisi or Fury map. Someone who takes the work of others and signs his name to it for no reason other than to caress his own fragile ego is not really a mapmaker and is definitely not a "Mapmaking Team". None of these maps were planned or tested or have any concept behind them. These hundreds of slightly altered meshes with "Zak" added to the pregame and credited as the author are not fun, some not even playable. Most are absurdly imbalanced with glaring ineptitudes, but the author neither cares nor ever even opened his franken-plugin to test before uploading it and demanding everyone download all 26 gigabytes of borked plugins. What mistakes could such an expert cartographer possibly have made? What needed elements could he have omitted? Well all of the plugins contain lovely bits of baby-sick such as: 1-hit-kill special units CTF flags on the other side of the map from the team start FFAs where you can actually shoot your neighbors from the starting positions, team starts at wildly varying distances from the flag/targets/goals/balls, units selected from different plugins which have completely different health/stamina/etc. - making some units seem invincible and others pathetically weak - and you are clueless until after trade.... enough issues to warrant we all demand this guy actually try to test his own maps and make sure they work?

Because right now they are all absolutely bereft of any plan or even reason to exist, there are no intentions to create anything new or even fun. Simply put, Zak has done absolutely NOTHING other than use all of his spare time adding multiple-start FFA variants to every 2-team-only map ever created and adding 2-team-only variants to every FFA map ever made. Regardless of whether or not they fit. He made a 12 start map where there are only 2 entrances to the hill.

The author's response to any and all of the above criticisms? "You're just jealous." "Stop being a fggt."

I'm boycotting any and all Zak maps until he actually thinks up a reason to edit his next one other than to make every map have every option and add his name. There had better be a twist or even just one thing unique added to the next upload from this clown because right now his maps are pretty much equal to his playing style, which is suiciding, host crashing, dropping, joining games and seeing how long he can delay a game in pregame, sitting there, unchecked before getting booted. His maps are just one big troll. The epic troll is that he got everyone to download dozens of gigabytes worth of maps that are nothing more than untested, barely playable waste of hard drive space. This review applies literally and fairly, without prejudice to every plugin and map Zak has altered and added his name to. You can help stop this nonsense by joining me in boycotting these mapspam thievery of hard work from the original mapmakers who actually had a vision and a plan, this guy is doing nothing other than shouting "HEY GUYS! LOOK AT ME! GUYS? LOOK WHAT I MADE!" Some maps are DESIGNED to have 2 starts and they don't really work with more, while some are DESIGNED to have many starts and don't work well as a 2-team map. Zak doesn't care, he's just collecting pokemon. Unbalanced, unplayable, ill-conceived pokemon.
