Well, this level was born  under unforeseen curcumstances. I did
not  plan  to make  any  dm level for Q2, I even doing now Q1 sp 
maps. But, once upon a time [two days ago] I saw at  Multiplayer 
Quake that they has reviewed my  old Q2  dm map Rugged [released 
summer '98]. And that  pushed me to  blow the  dust off from the 
lost source for Compass. I didn't found final source for Compass, 
but half made. [Final source was vanished by the time =] Besides, 
I tired  a bit by  Quake 1 leveldesign, and I wanted  to  change
profile of work for  some  time  [just for two days =]. And as a 
result you see this map. 
There are tons of bugs fixed, lightning improved, item placement 
changed and many other issues fixed and changed. Long time ago I 
wanted to  fix  these issues  but there wasn't any impulse to do 
this. And now it happened.
I hope you enjoy it.

-Why the hell the compass is rotating? Are you dork? Do you know
that compass must be directed to the North Pole?
-Hey, hey! Chill out man! Take a look at the sky. See it? It is
rotating too! Got it?
-Umm, do you want to say that whole this Ferric Base is rotating?
-Yeah, you got it. This  base  is  placed near Stroggos on 376km 
from the surface, so magnetic field is working here yet.
-Heh, sounds weird. But why it is rotating?
-Don't ask too many questions, man! Just play.
-Okay, lets get some frags!
-Sure.

-Hey, why the hell here is so high r_speeds?
-You  again! Be  more  tolerable,  this  is an old map, so don't
blame the author.
-Okay. I will switch to lower res better. Whoops! All flies now!
-Yeah, cool.
