well, since the buildings are built on a large scale, i highly recommend playing with high field of view. buildings have interiors that are condensed in a way where it only shows the interiors in the accessible parts of the buildings, so survival mode is compatible. the terrain is actually real, and not built on a superflat map, which is a turn off for me when playing custom builds. the city is completely finished and well polished. if i can recall, i remember entering a hotel penthouse which had a tnt cannon in it! there are some satirical jokes and references located in the map, nothing too explicit, if you mind. also, the map uses a lot of custom heads, so be sure to have your internet on when playing the map! the only flaws i see in this map are repetition of assets, for example, i thought that the scenery was too 'copy and pasted.' overall, patriotville is a large map, and very fun to explore, i really enjoyed it.
