Q3DM2: House of Pain is the third map of Quake 3 Arena.
The Map[]
This map is a very small map that has two levels to it where combat is done. This is most commonly a 1v1 map due to it's size and lack of equipment in larger maps. Because of this most of the supplies will be attained by simply travelling around the top level of the map. There are three main areas where combat is done most of the time. There is the entrance as shown in the image where a Plasma gun is found, a devastating weapon on this map as well as some extra supplies for those who need it. It is the largest area of the map and is where rocket fights usually break out. The second main area is the Rocket Launcher spawn which looks like a cathedral of sorts that also holds a nice amount of machine gun ammo behind one of the pillars. The third area, arguably the most crucial area to hold, is where the two levels collide. This area holds three important items. The shotgun, a heavy armour spawn and a spawn location for Haste, a very valuable pick-up.
