Garden

An extremely well-done 8-level solo scenario. (Well, the count's a little suspect-there are a couple of levels that probably shouldn't be counted (they're added for story continuity, but except for weapons refreshment, they don't have much on 'em), and one net level that's simply the last level, redone for netplay-but the important part is that it's a full scenario.) The story revolves around the battle for a water supply plant... and has a non-standard ending. The chapter art is inspired. Highly recommended.

Overlap

A small 5D space. Won't support large numbers (not enough weapons), but should be pretty fun for small groups. Pretty intuitive... hard to get lost, even though you've got very distinct regions.

QuasiMoFo v1.3

A pretty big map, but very pleasant to look at, and open enough (with enough access to most points) that even smaller groups should enjoy it. Great lighting and sound... one of the more impressive releases off the (now-defunct) Testing Grounds. Update is only for email address change.

'Cuz You're a Boy

2 maps. Both are pretty nice-Double Helix takes a bit of getting used to. (Seems like it's got a 5-D aspect to it, but it doesn't...) This is one of the few attractive Pfhor levels. Lysurgic Dilithimide requires quick footwork to stay out of the lava...

5th Spiral

Concentric hallways spiraling out... hence the name. There are shortcuts at some of the outside corners, and at least one secret room. Also comes in a solo version.

Alamap-Cloud Port

Textures are painful at low res, but this map'll keep you moving (those nasty purple compilers just keep shooting...). Big weapons carry a penalty.

CrossPfhire

This map is a joy, both to look at and to play. Small enough that 2 don't get bored, but big enough to fit 8 without overcrowding. Very, very nice use of 5D space... hard to even notice it. (But it really makes the map work.)

Hexidecimal

4 incredibly simplistic levels. About 4 polys each... (I may be exaggerating, but not much). Some texture smearing because of room size. Whatever.

Kool and the Gang Maps

12 maps. Lots of (too) sharp angles, and some jarring texture choices, but there's some pretty nice use of platforms here...

M2 Suicide v16

4 maps (the M2 ports of Suicide 26). I like 'em much better than their M1 counterparts... there are a few bad sides (textured air) in the last one.

Minos

A pretty simple maze, with a somewhat hard-to-find center room. (Much easier if you're not playing this networked... more time.) Nasty Minotaur... but he's not too bad to kill, the first time.

Pure Carnage II (Revisited)

Complete overhaul. This map is now MUCH faster on non-powermacs, and the outside water trap is now more like a skating rink. Concentrate on your human opponents...

Snakes!!

Lots and lots of twisty passageways, leading into monster-filled rooms. I'd recommend turning aliens off for netplay... or you're going to have a hard time finding your human opponents.

Those Tiny Towers

A smaller version of the author's last map, The Towers 3. Still hasn't had textures aligned.

Marathon2 Durandal

Welcome To The Machine

Another very pretty map from Dr. Mace. The center platform thing doesn't seem to be horribly useful (more for show than anything else), but other than that, this looks to be a fast-paced map.

New Pfhorte2 Menus

Changes the names of Monsters, Objects, Texturesets, etc. to more descriptive choices.

Assault! River of Death v1.1

Introduces an alternative to capture the flag. Each team has a base, with four switches in it. If you manage to flip the switches in the opposing base, you raise a pillar in the center of the map, and show everyone you won the game. Pretty slick... has a few nice tricks even if you don't have enough people to play it. New version removes the chapter screen, and fixes a bug or two.

Bermuda Triangle

A two-level arena, with a sort-of-open area underneath, and three passageways meeting in a small triangle above. The hill is the small meeting patch (not accessible with weapons from below...)

Escape!

A three level solo scenario. You're a prisoner, and your job is to escape, rescue Robert Blake, and get out. If you can finish this level on TC, consider yourself a true vidmaster. There are an absurd number of aliens here... and very limited recharging capabilities (unless I missed 'em all).

MapInfo 1.3.1

This is a really cool little tool of use to both mapmakers and players. Now works with both M1 and M2. Drop a map on it, and it'll create a text file containing lots of information about the map. Object info, lighting types, textureset, number of polys, number of platforms, number of points, total volume, and on and on... Use it for error checking (your map is crashing and you don't know why? Make sure the landscape texture you used is the one defined for the map. Want to make sure you haven't passed the 64 platform limit in your map? Save yourself lots of tedious counting with this. yadda...
