WOW!!! I don't even play SOFII (die hard CoDUO), but being Welsh, I know the village well, been a few times now. That is one of the best looking maps for the q3 engine ever! I only wish I could map half that good and that there was a CoDUO version

Ive just played the map, and its the best looking sof2 map I ever have seen, unfortunately u did not use any hint brushes, and I have seen some "loose" windows, I also didnt like the fog that much, the skybox was realy good tho.

Simply BRILLIANT!! It's one the awesome maps I've ever see!! Level of details beats any fps on the scene and I specially like how you rendered the village: it's like a wonderful painting.

Just been on a sniper server with bots running max_pm (Portmeirion) and it played really well. This is a terrific sniper map. Look for servers running max_pm
[...]
I have just been wandering around a new map "Prisoner in Portmeirion" by massimagnus. It should be sponsored by the Welsh Tourist Board because I now feel i have to visit Portmeirion :) WOW map must have taken ages to produce, I've never been to this village famous for being the location for "The Prisoner" cult TV series but after playing the map you feel as if you have.
I guess the graphics would be better in css but as a detailed recreation of a real town this is the best I've seen. Its an 18mb download but please try it and I left it running on 'Animals Playground' until tonight so you can have a wander ariund. Send me a postcard LOL
[...]
All I can say is well done AWSOME job :)

This is about the biggest recreation of an actual location I have seen. After wandering around this map you may even feel you have visited the village! [...] This map is so detailed you really must try it.

I've been playing SoF2 for nearly 3 years now, and in all the custom, even stock, maps that I've played and found, none even hold a candle to Prisoner in Portmeirion.
