Don't expect me to write an epic review, instead I'll just say that the level has a very good design/layout, I mean look at the carrot placement at the top right, the way the bottom middle is designed, most solid levels aren't made with that style. The placement was just ownage even for its time.

The eyecandy plain sucks but there must've been a reason why not much effort was put out to make the level look good.

The ammo, powerup and shield placement was really sucky especialy with the bubble shield placement, but it was one of the first levels. Go figure.

There may be levels that are designed better than battle1 but not many. However this level is not without its faults in layout as it encourages campers, and cheap kills exist at the top right.
