[I]''Deep within Quetzalcoatl's Mirror, a nebula named for its strange mirrored layers, these four platforms can be found. Powered by miniature stars, featuring advanced teleporters and containing immense amounts of energy, they were no doubt constructed by the ancient Architects - but for what purpose...?''

This map consists of four hovering platforms that are connected by a one-way clockwise loop of teleporters.

GameBanana is acting shitty so, for now, have a [URL="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10447261/qmirror_b1.zip"]Dropbox link[/URL].

[B]UPDATE:[/B] [URL="http://www.gamebanana.com/maps/162166"]Beta 2 is done. It features a crushing platform like the one in Quake 3.[/URL]

Tier 7.. Xaero.
(bonnnnnnnnng)

Oh, it would've been cool if there was a full health pack in the mashy box from the multiplayer map where the BFG10K was. A possible edit, perhaps ..?

As I am a big fan of Quake 3 map remakes (and already have created one myself), I like you map. Maybe also add these other two islands, where you get crushed, if you are there for too long.

While it's not a direct remake of The Very End Of You, the crushing platform could be an interesting addition indeed!

Also, sadly, boost pads don't work that well in TF2, so I had to use teleports. However, if I can figure out how to make them properly fling the player the right distance, I'll be sure to add them!

Perhaps I could put Quake 3 music in the map. How about [URL="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10447261/09%20The%20Longest%20Yard.mp3"]this track[/URL]?

New version! Forgot to take screenshots though, will post some later.

I added the crushing platform. It has two full health kits and two full ammo boxes and provides an excellent view of the lower platforms, but anyone standing on it will (obviously) be crushed if someone is to shoot the button low beneath the platform.

It can be accessed via two new teleporters.

Here are some screenshots of b2's new crusher and how it works:
