How To Play:
You will spawn at the beginning of the map, you are at what is known as the first jump. You must make it to the next jump by either rocket jumping, grenade priming, using the detanators, or what ever way you find that works. You will be returned to that beginning of the jump you were on if you fail to complete it. From the map start it is a race to make it to the end of the map by going through easy to difficult challenges. There are a couple different gameplay modes: racing, top scorer, free for all. Racing is when from start to finish you try to beat your opponent to the finish line. Top scoring mode is when the person who gets the most points wins. Free for all is just easy going completion where you just try to make it to the end of the map. Typically it will be free for all on most server. You may meet certain people that wish to race. It is all up to you what type of skills mode you want to game with.
Scoring:
You will receive 100 points on most maps after completing all challenges. There is no limit to how many points you can get.

Was my favorite mod
Yeah. I had not realized the multiplayer would not work publically for some reason.
I'm still around, check out TFC if you are interested in this type of gaming style.

Dead :(
dead? huh...
"hehe , actually this map is before your time yahu ;p "
yeah, beyond my time... 1999.
did not like how u make it so dark. I thought this was a great idea since i loved the conc and rjumps in tfc.
Though you need to add more maps. lol i mean geez on that 1 map i played in a server that i created (there were no servers >-<)the first jump ez. 2nd jump was a little tough then i saw the 3rd one i was like holy ****. 28 levels of that **** damn dude **** that. Though if anything bring a another version. Nice name nice game just needs more.
looks like really ugly mapping didn't die with original tfc skills - bother to stretch textures and you might get more get more than 1 for graphics
hehe , actually this map is before your time yahu ;p
it was originally conc_speed , or something similar.
Well made for hl1 but .. might need to be a bit spruced up for hl2 ;p.
There are now servers and if there is, i cannot connect, i tried it with friends... you just can't connect
