The Toolshed

Eerie lighting and some funky 5D add up to pretty good carnage. Watch your back!

Twist

Circles inside of circles inside of circles inside of... Lots of staircases. A central (small) courtyard. Be sure to collect your weapons and ammo before going in... for some reason, the center doesn't seem to be big on the engine's random list. Nice looking, and very dangerous. Also available in an Evil flavor.

Up and Down

A simple 5D arena (or pair of arenas, to be more precise). The name comes from the orientations of the hills (which aren't actually hills, unfortunately).

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.

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...

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.

Twin Dreams

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

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.

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.

Lunacy Cubed v1.1

Hey, this is pretty good! Supports solo play & up to 8 players. You will be busy as this handsome well-thought map is full of ‘tweaked’ Troopers, a bad, bad Jugger & other assorted nasties. Recharger for super shields sure is a good idea! Sounds are familiar but we always liked those sounds anyway. Too funny, when you finally eat it, just lay still & watch the action, those crazy kids keep creaming one another! KaBlam! Pow!

Netropolis v1.1

Nice little 5D map. Flow's great, ammo is, um, plentiful. (If Bungie had built in support for 16 players, it'd still be plentiful.) Textures... well, I don't like the Pfhor set on principle, so don't ask me about the textures.

Ouch! Woman

A small two-level 5D arena. the stairs can be a little hard to get into from the top, especially if you're in a hurry... and the explodabobs are really annoying.
