What Makes This Map Great Ep.19: Quake E3M6, Chambers of Torment

Описание: This is the 19th episode of “What Makes This Map Great?”. Rangers mission continues through The Netherworld for Quake! Join me as we dive into the excellent level design, beautiful art, and hidden secrets of E3M6, Chambers of Torment.

E3M6: Chambers of Torment, is the final map of Episode 3 for Quake. Designed by American McGee and Tim Willits, it’s a solid example of expert level design. Their work here accomplishes an amazing balance: an oppressive atmosphere combined with intensely strategic combat and a looping, interconnected layout.

E3M6 isn't just a challenge; it's a perfectly crafted finale for The Netherworld, forever cementing its status as one of Quake's truly great maps.
