101 Grunts - Dunkelschwamm

  

    101 Grunts is a very early and simple map with long hallways full of human grunts. You fight a total of 101 enemies, hence the name. Due to the numerical nature of the name of this map series it is the first map that appears on an alphabetical listing of all maps on the map database.

Map review of 101 Grunts

    101 Grunts is a fairly simple, straight-forward map about fighting 101 grunts (and some turrets). The set suffers from a lack of ammo early on, though playing with large groups may mitigate this. Beyond this, the set delivers on a linear succession of corridors and rooms full of grunts to engage in deadly combat. By the end I found my bloodlust satiated, but fail to remember many memorable moments upon reflection. While the maps deliver on everything they set out to accomplish, that singular goal ends up being all that 3 maps worth of gameplay have left me with. That said, I was entertained, and had fun with a low number of players. Give it a shot when you get the chance.

Pros:

  • You get what it says on the tin: a walkthrough series of maps wherein you battle 101 grunts.
  • Levels are consistent, cohesive, and sturdy.

Cons:

  • Some poorly balanced ammo in the first map makes starting this a slog, but the second two maps make up for this.
  • Somewhat forgettable.

Score: 7.8 / 10
