About this Map

At first I want to say that this Map is dedicated to my mapperfriend 
Gunnar "Crazy Borg" Hoffmann. Without him the Black/White idea would be only a
joke. He influenced the title, too by mention the word filmnoir ; )

Well, one day I watched this old black/white western movie with John Wayne and
suddenly I get the idea of an b/w deathmatchlevel. Later I recognize that my level
is like these american movie pleasantville where everything is b/w but after a 
while the actors get more and more coloured.
So I make the basic Layout choose some textures converted them and make hlnoir.
That is it !!!!!

Probably some people will say : "well If I want a b/w map I just reduce the colour of my
display. Then I would told these people about this pleasantville movie and
they will recognize that it is a real cool effect if anything is b/w but the 
players are coloured.

That is why I recommened very colourful skins like barney in red for example.

Description

-In Crazy Borgs opinion the map has a little bit frenzy style. There is a main 
 arena where is a lot action.
-One special thing is the "speedway" where you can get the rpg.
-There is no egon and no longjump.
-The charger get coloured when they are empty.
-When you jump the "speedway" is a lot faster ; )
