DOWNLOAD
BTW you can use below quote as a news:
7th February 2005
Polish Duel Mappack is a set of five high-quality levels designed for 1on1 matches in CPMA. The first public beta of the pack comes out today.

The maps were created by four experienced level-designers from Poland: Lukin, Nemix, dAde and NecrosiS. Each level has unique look and specific mood.

Althought the maps are ready to use they still have some nitpicks, specially in terms of balance and playability. Bacuause of this the authors decided to release unfinished mappack and wait for players' opinions.

The file is available to download from FilePlanet:

What about gameplay? Somebody played it? Right now we wanna focus on gameplay, cuz as you (all) said, maps looks quite good ;), so it's not the problem.

Well, one can't decide 1on1 gameplay against bots, but I've played the first map and the desert artic map with Lukin a few times a long time ago, and the first one has some interesting aspects. The latter sadly didn't do it for me, but I didn't feel it was particulary bad either.

They all

Nice set of maps here.

They're up at q3.mhgaming.com:27961 (cpma 1.31) (Denver CO, USA)

no rotation, instead callvote map plduelx to change the map.
