What worked      : 1) The maze does lend itself to close
		      combat fun.
		   2) The frames-per-second were kept really
		      low in the maze itself, and even in
		      the five internal rooms. The outside
		      room gets up to rspeeds of 450 when
		      you stand in the far corners.
		   3) The "special" guests in the western
		      portion of the maze.
		   4) Listening to the playtesters.

What didn't work : 1) Outdoor sky. If I had more time I'd make
		      a nice house to go infront of the maze.
		      But I've spent enough time, I want to
		      start a new one.
		   2) The sky starts at the top of the hedge
		      maze walls. I did this to keep the FPS
		      nice and low. But it means you can't do
		      obvious things like throw the grenade over
		      the hedge walls.
		   3) The sniper rifle in the maze is just a
		      snub. This is a close combat maze, and
		      it's cruel to taunt the sniper-types out
		      there with a sniper rifle.
		   4) Only five weapons. This means that with 6+
		      people it's hard to get a weapon in action
		      quake. Then again, at the close range that
		      the maze forces you into, pistols and
		      knives are effective too.
