Warehouse 41

A central arena with lots of twisty passageways and out-of-the-way sniper perches spread around. A nice feel to it, although some of the staircases are hard to see around.

Water Ring

Two levels. The bottom is a maze of twisty passageways, with a few hiding rooms. The top is a more open circle-and-cross based around a raised pool (but still tight).

Wrestling Arena

A weaponless square ring, for two contestants to duke it out. If you leave aliens on, you'll have the added challenge of dodging fusion bolts from clueless bobs...

Backside Boogie+

Seven maps. A real grab-bag in terms of size and play style-there's big, there's small, there's weapon-specific... one thing they all have in common (well, except maybe Chrome and Metal) is great flow. Cava Solaris, especially, is wonderfully set up to handle anywhere from 2 (well, maybe 3) to 8... give 'em a try.

Conquest of K'Yandra Station

A single-level solo scenario. This puppy is hard. Extensive use of force-fields... pretty nicely done, overall. Don't try to blast your way through... you'll only end up dead. Look around, think about what you're doing, and above all, read the readme-it'll keep you alive more than 2 minutes. Definitely worth a look.

Dances with Drones

Very difficult, pretty convoluted... but well-built, and with an interesting storyline. You'll die a lot, but it'll be worth it in the end-you'll be stronger for it.

HeidaNetMaps

A mixed bag. 14 maps, generally with nice attention to detail, but sometimes with some weird angles and texture choices. You'll certainly find a number of very playable maps in this collection...

Light Rail Test

Another of Lyndon Lorenz's very nice earthlike scenarios. This one's based on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail System, with extremely nice tracks...

Movin' Arena I-V

5 variations on a theme. They all center on the idea of a large arena with a floor made of platforms (hence the name), with varying degrees of complexity to the outer corridors that move around it. Nice, mostly... except that the platforms move pretty slowly, and if you're trapped in a lower corridor with the platform up, you're dead.

New College Maps

10 levels, all created by folks at New College. A nice variety, including a few small carnage maps, some team maps (capture the skull, everyone on a guardian, that sort of thing), and general all-around nice levels. Will keep your group of 2-8 busy for quite a while.

Pfhorathon

Converts your HUD to look like what you might see as a Pfhor soldier. Classily done, as should be expected from HAS... right down to the fonts. Deleted inexplicably from these archives... but back now. (Weird.)

The Incident at Quiliam

A 7 (or 3, if you only count the action levels) level scenario. Nice attention to detail, it'll keep you on your toes. There are always shots coming from somewhere...

Twin Dreams

A simple arena surrounded by (and intersected by) a cross-and-square built in simple 5D. Okay for small groups.

Water Works 1.0

A pretty straightforward, find-the-chips-to-open-the-doors level... there's a problem with the final term (seems not to be activated, so there's no way to finish the level).

Gates of Fenris Demo v1.2

A single level demo of the upcoming scenario, Gates of Fenris. Comes with a shapes patch, which doesn't seem to do much (except make the "slanted floors" hack look right).

Burning Steel v1.0

Square Arena play, lower level populated by aliens for solo play, upper level ledges have good corners for sniper spots with a raised dais in middle for King of the Hill. Decent layout. Supports up to eight players.

DartBoard Bonanza v1.0

Complex square, supports 2-6 players. Sniper areas, bldg. in main lobby with goodies & a 2x, can get caught here, difficult to get out and would slow you down. A few of those stupid Bob's for solo play. Also has that Fish Eye & the Infra-red. We liked this map, except for the damn Fish Eye.

Intellectuality

Single level solo scenario... nicely constructed, and fun to play. Although there's no shapes patch, there is a new monster... and he's damned annoying. (You'll notice him as soon as you run into him.) Lots of extra stuff to find... take your time!

Jug Jug v1.1

A small square arean that utilizes 5-D space. This level is small and due to the number of objects and their regeneration rate, I had some blinking monsters going on, and this was even on a G3. Small and short hallways are accessed by elevators that orginate from the ground floor. Elevators need to be a bit faster and no matter what size of group you have, this level will give you high carnage rates. Updates speeds up elevators, and decreases some of the ammo.
