One of the best maps I've ever played not only is it difficult but fun,the fact that you can't just go blundering really makes it so you have to rely on stealth and patience.

I tried to mix slow, methodical stealth-based gameplay with minimal opportunities to move quickly and recklessly. The whole point of this was to infiltrate a military research complex. Generally, you'd not want to run blindly through anything like that.

Most monaco maps focus more on madcap running than stealth. Running to get coins, running to break line of sight, running to save your dead teammate who ran but at the wrong time.

I feel that this map came closest to a genuine experience of stealth than any other map I've played so far. There's no running when you have Gendarmes ready to blast you with a shotgun, no running to the nearest wall when the nearest wall is a full 5 second sprint away down a long corridor.

To play this map, you have to rely on stealth. Multiple times I had to literally just walk past a Gendarme in plain sight, praying he doesnt turn around questioningly with his shotgun in hand.... it's bloody exhilarating.

The minimalist design (or lack of design, whichever it is) coupled with the huge open spaces works very well. It greatly emphasises the stealth aspect, overdecorating wouldn't have been appropriate tbh. All in all, I agree with you- its not perfect, but it is different from the traditional Monaco experience.

I put a lot of time and thought into the map. Honestly, I'm aware that it's probably not great. Certainly not perfect. Difficulty was a big deal to me. I wanted something that started fairly easy, but only got harder. I also wanted variety. I feel good knowing I pulled that off, and that at least one person enjoyed this. That's all I really wanted. So I'm glad you liked it, pocico.

Nice map. I like that there is more than one way to do something depending on your skill level. I noticed new things each playthrough. Only played a few times, so I'm sure there's more I haven't noticed yet. This map might be difficult for some people. It's also a fairly long map, but it is also very rewarding when you complete it.
