Where's hipshot? His levels always turn out amazingly detailed and epic.

Yea, hipshot's tech map is the kind of epic we'are talking about here. Like how he had those massive skyscrapers crashing over his little map. That was cool.

Yeah dude, that map was awesome... except for the fact that it was completely unplayable!

An absolute INSANE amount of detail.

Hmm, looks interesting. Perhaps I have another map in me.

hehehe. That thread should be in the archives.

The shortest time he?s ever taken to build a map was 1 day. The longest is 3.5 years (and counting) for his CTF Tempest Utopia. It is said that should he ever complete this map, the dead will rise from their tombs, and Enemy Territory will be released as a free standalone download. No, wait!...AAAAGH!
