Devil's Plaything

Large level area for tag but with impediments in the way of freestanding walls, all over. Reminds us of a level where one has to negotiate to somewhere else, but here, that's it, there is nowhere else. The lava ceiling kinda threw us. Thoughtfully includes Marathon Icons in package. We selected double 00 shotgun shells for this game.

Discotheque v2.5

A simple arena with funky strobe-like lighting. Should keep you guessing where that next target is...

Dome Sweet Dome

Read Me is important here. Large Arena with off shoots for ammo, weapons; supports KOTH, quantity of players as it is a large area. Offshoots, using quick as lightning elevators, lead to rooms w/transporters. Transporters lead to back hallways full of goodies (Blam!). Very clever design. Anybody camping out in a room is fair game, camping out indeed, during net play! Interesting layout, interesting ideas.

Egypt

Biggest damn net map you ever saw! Author says tested with two, good for 8 but Holy Mackerel!, there may be room for 10-15+! Multiple very large squares (playing fields) with pillars & various impediments, connected by a variety of ways; stairs, passageways, up/down & all around. Huge rooms with KOTH type possibilities, Ball is here as well. Lava pit is deadly, hate that! 2x-3x's lying about. And whacko Bobs for solo hero-types. For diehard straight arena players this may be a bit too much. Certainly a lot of thought & time went into this complex map.

Fast Times at L1sr High

Five levels, tested with 2-4 players with four being the recommended number. Comes with Anvil Shapes patch (something to do with naked aliens). 1.) Boondoggle; a multi-dimensional environment with four portals. Not sure what is meant by portals here. Very straightforward square playing field, small. 2.) Spiro Caves; large arena with twisty stairs (tunnels) leading off main field to sniper slots & ammo refresh. May be slow due to size & number of tunnels. 3.) Terminal Carnage; built to look a subway terminal, and it does! Long rectangular playing field, lots of elevators to confuse...

Battle Yard; square, very large open play area with back halls, Hill to defend or use for sniper ledge. 3.)

Flying Circus v1.0b

Three maps/levels here, can do cmd/cntrl or transport between the three. Each has arena play, off-shoots for ammo & terms to transport. Terms say 'you suck' trying to leave level. Interesting. Pretty standard, different textures. Has a film in package to show secret doors of which there were few. Aliens for solo play.

Foursome

Four square maps self contained in one for pure arena play with overlapping passages parallel from one to the other. Central areas of arenas comprise different mediums, i.e., water, bouncing floor (so cool!), KOTH/rising pyramid, but no control over rising aspect. Compilers & Phfor here for solo play. Seems to have everything for net play in small areas, but for one thing, no rechargers, dead is dead. Good for two, more might be a crowd. Fast & Furious.

Snipe Hunt; round arena-type with sewage comprising half of area & containing teleporters. 2x recharger, sniper slots overlooking main area wide stairway. 2.) Church of the Mortician; very dark, dual square (overlapping) layout, KOTH, total carnage area, 2x, very clean. 3.) Lemmings Army; square arena play, straight KOTH with circular stairs wrapped around Hill, or transport to top. 1x canister available. 4.) Jjaro Crescent; arena play, total carnage center, perimeter paths to ledges, ...

Keep Running v1.0

Somewhat of a square map with hidey holes. Author says he designed on his laptop, no easy task. A few scattered Pfhor for practice runs. Supports 8 players as that is how many are in Allen's group. Good mobility, no rechargers, one life canister to be seen.

Millenium Tower v1.0

Author states this is a work in progress, spent a year working on it but was mostly involved in learning Forge during that time. Effort sure shows! This is a terrific, spacious, & complex map. Aliens & sounds to be added, soon Ted says. Hope so, cries out for same. All the elements are here: basement, tower, elevators, transporters plus a Terminal that . . . suffice to say, Be Very Careful! Too funny! Recommended for 4-8 players. If you enjoy, please let the author know, think he needs to hear.
