Diamonds From Sierra Leone is one of the best looking maps on NUMA today. It's simply gorgeous. The use of open space is something oft overlooked as well, but origami_alligator [nmaps.net] capitalized on it well here. The lines and negative space make this map quite graceful, but it's not without its action packed sequences as well. Definitely give this a whirl. — epigone

Sort of a rebuttal @ atob's comment
Sometimes open space can just be open space. What I liked about this map is how he doesn't use it - it's just there.

In my eyes, lately you've made the jump out of the pack.

I got impatient and died.
Nice gauss work. I don't really know what to think of it, but it's mostly enjoyable. 4/5.

The transition
to the top is just unrefined gameplay to me, frustrating and awkward. The top gauss area is fun, but more cramped and definitely uninspired.
The whole thing just seems like a work in progess: It fliters between barren and lifeless, to awkward, to cramped and tedious.
The tiles are ok, but again seem unfinished; The open space isn't used very well at all and completely retracts from any atmosphere that could have been produced.
A below average map, imo.

cant say i like it.
the tiles are really cool of course, but it feels really unbalanced to me. first there's nothing in the middle and around the gold, and then there's that annoyingly hard jump and the 2 snipers are hard to avoid as well. that's how i'd change the map: make the top easier accessible, take out one sniper, place one rocket somewhere centered in the middle part. but thats just me of course. still above average.

Not bad
A bit generic. Gold placement was nothing special and the perp jump was much harder than it needed to be. Hated the ending. 3/5
Oh, and that first patch of gold looked pointless in the thumbnail, but once you play it that was actually a really good bit of gameplay. Shame the rest of the map didnt live up to the good start.

The top was pretty irritating but outrunning th floorgaurd was fun. But sometimes the normal doors messed me up a quite few times.

Oh yes.
