Description: This map is designed for 4-12 players, and has full bot support. Weapons are relatively sparse, with no BFG, and a focus on shotguns and rocket launchers. The rail has no ammo and a long respawn time, so make it last ;). The haste and invisibility can be reached via RL jump, or by hitting the teleport pads on top the central platform. Mega health is reached by a very small push trigger, or rocket jump if you're in a hurry. R_speeds on this map are relatively high in some areas, but I have had reports that it runs reasonably fast on lower end machines. This is the desert fortress level of the Arrakeen series, set on Arrakeen, or Dune, from the Dune series by Frank Herbert.
