JcFerggy:
I can see your point, but it still does not mean they are in the same location. Some Wheel chairs are made out of pop tabs. Would you then say that a wheel chair is just an inflated pop tab?
Either way, I don't want to fight too much about it.
Rodney 1.666:
Wasn't arguing in the least.
I don't know the answer either. Was just dropping some facts for y'all.
PPK:
All I know is that Caves looks much better now, specially because of the lightning. It was a map I didn't play in in the original, but that I'll play in GE:S.
The layout of the original as interesting, but the lightning, coupled with the game's tendency to lag really made it annoying. It is very good to see that this isn't mere "copy-paste", but a reinterpretation of the original map. Kudos to Loafie, hero of dreams for this remake.

So like, its a cave in a jungle, so not that unrealistic. Since theres an opening as well and water streaming down and stuff, its like a videogame license taken there.

I'm not saying because of it's location relevant to the jungle. The type of plants that can grow depend on soil, sunlight, and water. Those type of plants, with large leaves, are found in locations with adequate water and often in the understory in jungles. In a cave, they wouldn't be able to grow leaves that large, so they wouldn't be found in a cave, and would only possibly be found right at the edge of a large cave opening.
here are some image examples (they're large, so i wont directly post them here):

If you look even a couple feet into the cave, there are no plants whatsoever, even though there is plenty of light and there appears to be a jungle outside.

Here is another example. More plants this time, but as you can see, they are all very small and consists mainly of patches of ferns and mosses.

Another example. Plenty of growth outside the cave, nothing inside.
Wake[of]theBunT:
Granted, however they add a very nice element to the map. We arent making "Discovery channel: Source" So itll stay if i have a say in it :P
