Comments: Conversion of the bsp part from DM-1on1-Metus by Raffi_B.

History:
original description:"The Metus refinery was known to its workers as being the most desolate, bleak, and soulless environment imaginable. Located on a small island in the middle of the vast ocean, there was no communication with the outside world. Workers would spend their entire lives there, often going insane from the incessant hum of rusty machinery. There remain now only two workers, and one emergency escape pod. Only a fight to the death will determine who will be free from the torture of Metus. The floors have been swept of bones and blood. The machinery has been cleared. The weapons have been unpacked. Fight for your escape."
modified UT3/2010 version:After been totaly destructed by an earthquake this old arena was reconstruct to do experimentations on the lava magnetic energy. Credits:

Just noticed this on the epic forums! Dunno how I missed it until I noticed the release date, whch was when I was on holidays... I'll have ta check this one out!
I always love a map with decent lighting :) The contrast between the blue, yellow is nice, and i particularly like the room featured in the 2nd picture.
Gameplay is solid and good fun :) Good job Bl!tz, tis a keeper!
OK, so the layout was already there in the custom UT2004 version, but it's still an excellent old skool one. I played both the regular and SE versions from UT2004 and like the regular one better as the flak cannon is in a more accessible spot.;) By making it darker, it adds a lot of atmosphere to an already great map. This UT3 version has a cool skybox, lighting/shadows, sparks, fog, and banners. I like the added steam lift also. This one also has great gameplay with good flow, connectivity and weapon/item placement. I would definitely recommend this one for 1on1 servers (if any are left).
