My first wad released into public, Checkered Arena.
Since a picture says more (and people won't download without screens), here are a few:

The top of the arena.

One of the 16 rooms (they're all identical) where you start.

The bottom of the arena.
(Thanks to Simsmagic for telling me how to remove the console)

-Also, look out for the bonuses in the hiding holes, there are 32 of them.
-Not much scenery because of lag issues and some other unknown errors.
-Look out for the death pits and have fun!

And, before I forget:
New version

The new version, with tiny improvements:
-Items on the pillars
-Bridge height fixed
-Border around starting field removed

"Bind x screenshot", Press X to take a screenshot without the console in the way.

Looks interesting, I'll go ahead and test it out.

The only flaw I can see is that a ring of grass surrounds the field above the underground spawn points. Getting rid of that might make the level look slightly nicer. But otherwise, this is the first decent map after a long spell of n00bism!

In a contest, I'd give it a 6/10. It's decent, but rather generic and unmemorable. I liked that you hid powerups and monitors under the grass though.

Just one thing, I would make the bridge FOF's ceiling height match the floor height of the upper field. It would make it look like it belongs there.

It was very generic, as said before, but I liked the hidden stuff and the z range that many match maps lack.

I'd give it a 7/10.

Thanks for the tip.

Fixed in the new version, and thank you.

Also fixed.

And, check first post for new version.

Question: Can someone test this map in a netgame? I can't host and I live in a different timezone.

I could try.
