Map review of Holodeck

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

Holodeck is, if I'm following correctly, a follow-up update to Biodome (http://scmapdb.wikidot.com/map:biodome) by the same author. To recap, that is to say, Holodeck is a sandbox map for Sven Co-op, wherein an arena comprised of a flat square area adored with turret towers with bridges between them set the stage for players to toy with the tools of Sven Co-op. I wrote a brief review of biodome which you can see on its page on this site. I recommend looking into that and coming back here to find out how this map differs.

Not by a whole lot. There seemed to be more buttons which spawned more NPCs (notably gonomes, race x, baby headcrabs). There was also better lighting.

One massive boon is that players get to spawn equipped with crowbars, wrenches, and medkits. Using wrenches when you don't have any other weapons yet is a great way to survive most major attacks. The weapons spawned are also better, including sniper rifles.

A button I noticed here but not in biodome was a button that covers the map in turrets, which can then be activated separately. I thought this was really cool and fun, even if it was ridiculous and lagged on my lan connection.

Overall, not a whole lot is changed, but it's all for the better. I think if you liked biodome, this is the superior version of it all together. If you haven't played biodome, but think a sandbox map similar to stadium where you can spawn infinite enemies to fight sounds fun, you'll find this very fun.

Pros:

  • Better weapons than biodome
  • Funny turret thing
  • Better lighting makes the map look better

Cons:

  • The map is still kinda dull looking
  • All of the cons of the biodome still apply here, with the exception of bad arsenal
Score: 7 / 10
