So nP... or nonParallel institute... This feels awkward doing this... I didn't know it was a gaming college till after I had suffered through all these maps... and I don't know what to think... should I be condemning the students for making some of the worst maps I have ever played?... or the Teachers that think these are actually acceptable?... I don't know what is going on over there... nor do I know the grading scale or criteria that grade by... and quite frankly... I couldn't care less...

**Normally I would go through each map and yadda yadda yadda... I will be address them all as a whole... since they shared similar problems fort he most part...**

Pros
+ None (Worth noting that ConCourseB is undoubtedly the "best" of them all...)

Cons
- No thumbnail or poster for any of the maps...
- No soundscapes...
- SPAWNED TANKS DURING SET-UP PHASE OF SURVIVAL...
- Bad aesthetics... ranging from bad geometry to bad texture... to Tank Station and it's PS1 graphics...
- Completely broken levels...
- Visual glitches for various reasons...
- Areas where you could be protected forever...
- Bad Navigation throughout...
- Having an indestructible room in a survival map... this has literally no excuse...

Final Verdicts
nP.Cabin = 25
nP.SurvivalCamp = 0
nP.ConcourseB = 35
nP.Safehaven = 15
nP.Subway = 10
nP.Sewer = 0
nP.SilentLodge = 5
nP.Maze = 0
nP.CursedForest = 0
nP.TankStation = 15
nP.Gym = 5

Final Average
10/100

When I play through a map... I pay the most attention to how it plays... most of you should know this by now... Visuals are great, but they should always take a back seat to the gameplay... Like "The Orange"... simple dev texture map... but played very well... therefore very enjoyable...

Now look up quickly again at those scores I gave... sure they might be harsh... but they are justified when you take their respected gameplays into notion... Not Only do these maps "Mostly" look horrible... but almost half of them had jesus spots where a determined person could last for hours... even fucking years on SurvivalCamp if someone wanted too... There were also the maps that force spawned a tank into the map while in setup phase... of the maps that were fundamentally broken...

There is no saving grace for these maps... the only one I can say anything nice about is ConCourseB... and even then I can only say "It was better than the others"...

I don't know what is going no at that institute... but I have to assume that the wrong things are being taught there, until otherwise proven wrong...
