Very good level pack by Blade. All the tilesets are good quality and there are many usefull tiles. Also the levels were easy to navigate, good eyecandy though sometimes too many weapons. The levels were medium/large size. Overall very good. And of course the music that fits well.

+Levels and tilesets both by the same author
+Great music
+Levels give a realistic feeling

-Too many weapons in some levels

Well really great..download recommended :-)

WOW!!! This is so darn cool! First of all, i’d like to say that words aint worth much here…you have to see all the great stuff yourself! But i’ll try to describe what i saw:
"Blade’s Battle Pack" is a huge compilation of six homecooked tilesets and 10 battle/example levels using them.
The tilesets could definitely be described as "AWESOME!", they are just beautiful with all the drawings and details. I already reviewed most of them when they originally came out so i won’t repeat everything. They just ROCK!!!
Same with the levels: completely terrific! design and gameplay as well as a good weapon selection makes this one of my favourite collections of Battle levels of all times.
But this isnt the end…Blade also added custom music files for the levels and he seems to have a VERY very good taste. All of the modules are from scandinavian trackers and thats why they sound pretty demostylish (in other words: WOW!!!).
To finally conclude my review: this is one of the few MUST DOWNLOADS that belong to "la creme de la creme" of the J2O file archive! GET iT NOW! My congratulations to Blade (member of tha iSDN army ™ ;-). I love this pack and will host it a lot!

See that 9 that this gets as a review? Yup, this is one of the better ratings I’ve given in a while.

Might I say I love the tilesets, not to mention levels and music files. The levels only problem being the fact that the design in them is all the same style so there isn’t too much variety. One tileset bug is the fact that the textured bg on one of them (I forgot which) looks sorta odd on 8-bit. (it has an effect similiar to the textured bg on Colonius night.)

Conclusion: Get this now or you will be banned from J2O. ;-P

I really don’t like this one as much as your others.

Hard to find the bases, confusing Layout, a Shield… I think this would do better for Battle, though.

Another great level by a our friend from Finland, Blade (member of tha iSDN army, ™).
The design is pretty awesome in my opinion and the MEZ2 eyecandy is very good, too. The music choice is super high quality as always (scandinavian demo style, yay!!!) and regarding the gameplay i’m sure its fun in both CTF and Battle mode.
No matter what mode you prefer, EVERYONE should really DOWNLOAD "Blast The Bunny" (well, boring level name i admit) RiGHT NOW!

P.S.: Me and "Pikablu" discovered a major bug: there are no jazz/spaz play start positions so most people can’t join in internet mode…the author should better fix this!!!

Hmm, not a bad level, but it doesn’t top as my fave.

Design/eye candy are both good. It does get a little confusing and hard to navigate, plus it all looks the same.

The base run is a little awkward. Try to keep it constant and straightforward.

Overall if you are bored and are looking for CTF (like me), you should get this. :-)

He has tried Textured backgrounds.. and then he did the smart thing and came to me. ;)

I’m almost done fixing them… I think. I just need to perfect my ways of outsmarting JCS. It remaps palettes, even when you tell it not to. =/

Hmm, quite a good tileset. My only suggestion is you read up on texture backgrounds and download the program reptile2. Its the best texture program I’ve found and its free! :)

There is a link to Reptile download

**Note to Fquist, we need to add markup stuff to the edit script :)

I copied and pasted the following text from my original review of the first release of "Aztec":

"I dunno what to say: i just love Blades uploads! Everything looks and sounds so cool. This is another superb tileset that includes a short demo level and beautiful background music. You’re an elite tileset/level jazzer, Blade! Everyone download this! Its an order! :-)))"

I didnt change my opinion on it, it even gets better. The design of the example battle level is great and the music choice is pretty cool (but not as good as in your other packs, in my opinion…a bit too techno-beat-like).
"Aztec v3" by Blade (member of //*tha famous iSDN Army*\\, yay for us!!!) is a MUST DOWNLOAD (again :-)!

The Aztec tileset keeps getting better. :-)

I like this tileset, it has a nice look, and a cool example level. I should personally note that you shouldn’t password the example level, it makes it hard for newcomers to get the hang of the set without actually opening the level in JCS.

I would say if you’re a custom set fan you should d/l this now. :-)

Nice eye candy, and such. But I just have one small complaint, kinda small.

Oh wow: Another Blade tileset. Im a big fan of Blades releases and this tileset pack is yet another example of the awesome quality they have.
The tileset itself looks very beautiful to my eyes and includes lots of useful tiles and many goodies like a cactus, spikes etc..
But what would be an #1 tileset like this without a good example level. "Burning Desert" has it, and it really rocks: a classic, not-too-small battle map with great design, good weapon placement and a rocking background music track!
In my humble opinion, "Burning Desert" is a MUST-DOWNLOAD!

I must say a pretty wicked tileset.
It has a fun layout and stuff in it.
But there was something that bothered me: The yellow and brown tiles. I know its a desert but only brown and yellow in my eyes gets a bit annoying after a time. Luckily, the artist has added some green stuff like cactusses and flowers. I think this is worth a download yes
