I've seen Darkzone has made a return.
It is perhaps however, well... not dark enough. It all just seems overlit. Can we just turn the lighting down a bit? The feeling isn't quite there.
In addition I'm not sure the current music quite fits in with that map for deathmatch. The map is too small and enclosed to have music like that.
Discuss.

The old poll results were:
Poll: What do you think of the revised Darkzone?
Darkzone is too light 6 42.86%
Darkzone is correct brightness 5 35.71%
Darkzone is too dark 0 0%
Mutually exclusive polls are stupid 3 21.43%
Total 14 votes 100%

I've seen two Dark Zone maps for Xonotic actually. One of them looks like something from the cryo pyramids area at the end of Escape from Butcher Bay, the other one looks like it was evolved off of the original Quake map with and given a more Quake 2 style look. Personal favorite out of them though is probably the one from Nexuiz with Quake-styled one being pretty close to it.

Well, I'm guessing talk is about the one now included in autobuild.
Personally, I loved the Nexuiz one too. And I do think "Stairs" theme is becoming overused (which does prompt my interest in playlists in the first place). But those gaps in the walls with items in them are quite nifty idea, I must admit.

But why isn´t it then adjusted? I heard that the reason is something about making it easier for identifying your opponent which sounds rather confusing to me as the players and weapons glow and therefore are noticeable. Well I heard it which doesn´t mean that it´s true... anyway, it really should be darker! Man, this map looks anything but professional at the moment!
It is a good map and a very good reinvention of the old classic but I do just feel the lighting needs to be turned down a bit. That's not a major rework as it should be able to be done when compiling the map. Not a major change but maybe just -20%.
Oh and I noticed that in the small corridor in the rocket launcher room the glass windows seem to be weapon clipped. This would make fighting in it a bit weird as the projectiles just dissappear.

I played a bit with the settings, here some examples of how things look:
This is the best I could make with some random playing with settings:
(Brightness 0, contrast 1, gamma 0.70, contrast boos 1, saturation 2, ambient 1.50 and intensity 1.

suggestion 1 was an old version from the autobuild server:
-bsp +
-light + -bounce 8 -dirtscale 2
-vis +
-minimap +
Version: 1
suggestion 2 was my original
+ fast
+ ambient occlusion
