Sorry, we couldn't find any images attached to this page.

Robootto does it again with another Sven Co-op map. Relax, sit back, fire weapons endlessly into the pit of despair. Is there anything worthwhile at the bottom of the pit? If you find finding the answers to questions its own reward, then possibly!

Explore the above-pit world, which is a semi-decently brushed and not-decently textured cave interior filled with tau-or-tripmine-only reachable ledges. Don't worry- you get both! By crawling the cave, players can nearly complete their arsenal: a tau gun, snarks, tripmines, machineguns, grenades- the works.

The pit itself is a massive inconvenience. There's a sign warning not to enter the pit- but, that's a sign basically suggesting players not play the map. There's probably plenty of approaches, including a descending ladder, but every method will have you shot out of the air by the alien grunts and vortigaunts that populate the bottom- not to mention the endlessly respawning gargantuas once you actually reach the bottom. The bottom of the pit is a crowded cross and the enemies respawn near instantly, so killing them only gives you the space to move past where they had just been.

By getting behind the gargantua and running up to a door behind him, the player is teleported into a funny little room with more weaponry, a much needed HEV charger (the presence of one in the above-pit area would make navigating the pit much more doable), a very nicely brushed but terribly textured motorcycle, and a teleporter to one of the higher-up areas in the above-pit cave.

It's not a great looking map, exploring the cave with the tau gun was a bit of fun, and the sign warning against entering the pit should be heeded. I don't recommend this map.

Pros:

  • Exploring the cave is kinda fun
  • Lots of guns if you know where to find them
  • Really finely brushed motorcycle in the inaccessible room

Cons:

  • Bad pit full of respawning enemies
  • Not enough ammo for the tau gun
  • The enemies which respawn are particularly a roadblock
  • Map is pretty ugly, especially due to use of textures
Score: 3 / 10
