(13-years-later edit: Sorry, but no, this pack aged really poorly, and the levels are extremely annoying)
A very good pack which definitely deserves my download recommendation.
Birdie enjoys experimenting with CTF layouts, and it shows. Most levels here feel different than your typical Capture The Flag fare. Not all of them do, though, such as Fluid Surface Oscillator and Temple of Hakkar, which have their own gimmicks but aren’t too memorable.
Speaking of gimmicks, this pack does a pretty good job on balancing between the gimmicks part and the standard gameplay part. The gimmicks vary in magnitude, but the levels don’t revolve around them entirely, which makes the gameplay smoother. Level 6 may be an exception from this, though, but even that level didn’t feel too awkward and it was enjoyable to spend time in.
I liked the way these levels looked and sounded like. Birdie managed to build a nice atmosphere in basically all of the levels here, I especially like the way SandBox feels like (aside from its glitched background layer scrolling..). All in all, very nice looking levels.
I give this an 8.4 and a pretty obvious download recommendation. Host this in your free time, I guess.
(Birdie included some old beta version of Omen Woods instead of the final one, causing the fourth level to break if one doesn’t have the right version. -0.1 points.)

Perhaps a quick review isn’t appopiate for a pack of 6 levels but I must point out that some of them (¡SandBox especially) used annoying gimmicks that produced no positive side effects. So mastering is pointless. It’s good to try new ideas, but sometimes you will get your hands burned if you’re not careful.
Still, nice job.

A prime example of experimentation gone wrong. Birdie started a fire going, in which he did not have the power to control. Ambition and creativity should be applauded, but almost all functionality is lost; these are MP levels we are talking about.
This is an ultimate level pack. The gameplay is great! The way you hid all of the ammunition and whatnot is also pretty cool. lol the bonuses you get are nice.
The eyecandy is INCREDIBLE! The anti-gravity is also really neat. Nice hax (if that’s what you used). All in all, I would have to give this level pack a 10/10 and heavily recommend downloading this pack.

also i like some of the instresting things in the pack , I remeber on what levels are goning on jazz2online you had it in progres , its basicly a nice X shape you go up one foot of the x and you capture thew flag go to the other to flag it , also i love the gravity ss6 ;D
ammo placement is good , and food placemnt to ;D ,
the thing i thought was good but not great was torchwood i found it a little basic for you birdie.

Wow! How was that possible to make the gravity go upside-down?
