Sven Co-op Map Reviews

      Three almost identical lanes with obstacle courses. Run like the Terminator! Then longjump back and do it again, the map has no end. SCMapDB page Author: Robootto Date of release: 2004 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Terminator Run (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | January 14, 2023 | 3033 characters      Terminator Run is an obstacle course map for Sven Co-op by robootto.      Robootto's pretty infamous for maps that don't really see their concept through, but I think Terminator Run is an example of a Robootto map that makes a lot of sense to me- it's a simple 3-person obstacle course with 3 (nearly) identical courses side-by-side, each a different color. Parallel to these courses are windowed corridors which spectators can traverse with ease.      When the map begins, players use a glass door which slowly lowers. It lowers so slowly that players with more experience with the engine will know exact...

SCMapDB page Author: Robootto Date of release: 2004 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Terminator Run (originally posted on SCMapDB) by GrandmasterJ | January 14, 2023 | 2029 characters      This is a very straightforward map, players spawn in front of three colored lanes with an obstacle course to the other end of the map. There is a blue, red, and green route but they are all the same, except for blue becuase it does not have a shotgun at the end and the other two do for some reason.      The obstacle course itself is fairly simple, with bars blocking the way that must be jumped over or crawled under, some other simple platforming challenges, and the one I really failed at which was the ceiling ladder. At the end is a big drop into the last stretch to the finish line. As I mentioned before, red and gr...

      Chancars is a fun map with a big mostly open area with plenty of cars to drive around. There is a locked door players can unlock by ramping through a ring several times, but other than that there is no progression. It's just a map to have fun with. SCMapDB page Author: Gruntzz Date of final release: 2021 Maps in package: 1 Map review of Chancars (originally posted on SCMapDB) by dunkelschwamm | December 4, 2021 | 2126 characters      Chancars had a simple premise that I had no patience for. Ring the ring a certain number of times, but it's only reachable via a jump made by wacky cars. Unfortunately, as you ride there is an invincible gonome running around and killing the player. He gave me the vibe of the yeti from SkiFree, always showing up at a terrible time to grind the action to the halt with a one-hit-kill.      The main attraction of this map is the cars themselves: wacky themed func_vehicles await for the player to roll around an...

Some of the cars are quite wacky like the surfboard with a wave behind it, the jousting chairs, the jetbikes with 3d models attached to the vehicle so they actually look like jetbikes. I did really enjoy taking most of them out for a spin.      The main problem is that half the ti...

      This map is an attempt to recreate, or at least pay homage to, the super fast racing series F-Zero. It has a track and forces players to be these floating car things. Be warned: there are flashing lights and high pitched music in this map.

That's actually worth mentioning a little greater, actually: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

Player speed is so high that the briefest tap on W sends you flying headfirst into the opposite wall. I don't know how but my teammate managed to press the start button. As for me I just could not position myself in front of it. I keep flying into a wall and sliding into the corner. I tired using the button from the side but it just didn't work.      My teammate meanwh...
