Blood and Steel v1.0

A very nice large arena, with a fast-moving peripheral ring. Two rechargers in the center, but if your opponents are any good, you won't be able to use them. In solo mode, the aliens give you a nice run for your money... troopers and hunters regenerate at absurd rates, but enforcers and fighters are on your side to help out. (Careful, though... there are enough enforcers that friendly fire is a real hazard.) Attractive design, and great flow.

Round the Darklin' Tree

A small circular killing field, surrounded by an outer ring and filled with just enough stuff to make life interesting. Lots and lots of invisibilities... Pass through the center to kill the lights, pass into (or out of) the outer ring to bring 'em back up. For added fun, the Tempus Choir is replaced by Alvin and the Chipmunks. A fast-paced blast.

Obituary (ti) v1.1

A nice arena with a raised hill, and side passages for added flow. Death rates get quite high when players can shoot across altitudes... Now tweaked with better weapon/ammo placement.

Brief Nardonic Requiems v1.4

Two very good levels from what a great marathon author. The first level Translation into Loyalty, consists of a few mini arenas with the Tempus Pfhor texture set. The second, I Used to Be uses the outdoor enviroment from Tempus. Two very fun levels that can also be played solo. 1.4 update tweaks lighting, textures, and layout to improve gameplay.

Mare Ceti v1.1

A very impressive solo level, with fanstastic puzzles, plenty of carnage, some way-cool tricks, and a storyline that ties in wonderfully to the original Tempus Irae story. It feels like an original TI level, although as far as I know, Dispatcher had nothing to do with the Nardo team. I'm pretty amazed with how much you can get into a single level, actually... Play this one, it's great. (I can't remember the last level I found myself leaning forward against my desk, fighting the current...) Update tweaks a few things for better gameplay, and adjusts map goals to allow finishing the level af...

Trees

A series of courtyards, connected by stone passageways. Very castle-looking. Fantastic attention to detail, especially in the lighting category (although sounds seem to have been neglected). For big groups, this provides a nice balance of open space and tight corridors, with just enough entrances to give someone an out if he's getting shot badly. (For smaller groups, you might be hunting for someone to kill.) Weapons and ammo are segregated... you'll most likely be using the same weapon until you're killed.

Foxbase Alpha

Two Maps, TI application rules! Read Me has to be converted, it's a dialog in movie format; but what a Read Me! Everything here, explicit instructions. Twenty minutes play recommended with players/teams only way to go. Towers/Castles with jails and various entrys, switches to lock in/lock out opponents, raise/lower a drawbridge. Beautiful layout, leaping to ledges allowed! Winding paths puts one in harms way from any Team's sniper who has the 'base'. 1x here, 2x there. Advantage; more ammo in certain areas. Infinity map, exactamundo layout, textures only difference. Appeared in m...

Serotonin Uptake Inhibitors 1.5

This guy's the master of flow. 20 maps, all beautifully laid out, plenty of weapons, no getting stuck on a slow elevator, not a texture out of place. Gorgeous. You could stay busy with this one for weeks.

BOB-Tempus Irae

Nine maps in all from TI.1 - TI.9; 20K up to 28K, includes two Physics models to give you that extra BLOOD! Pretty funny. TI textures are always handsome & here you get an assortment of arenas/squares/circles/King of the Hill, etc. Pretty cramped, very small spaces, with a few aliens thrown in just so you can test the Physics files. Would be pretty fast & short we believe, but you be the judge. This is a Marathon fan from Germany which gives your death scream a slight accent when you pass away.

Deep Distance

If you've been on a search for TI Maps you may have seen this one. It's Terrific! Started as a solo map & evolved into a Net Map (for unknown reasons?). But it is great fun solo. Exploding Bob's everywhere, can you go the Distance? Has everything TI, lighting, chants, textures. Two 2x's. Great fun, big enough to support 8 players, maybe more. Think tag. Vast areas, stairway symmetry, small halls, sewage paths, transporter to off-map room for goodies. An area that could possibly support KOTH. You should have this in your TI Map collection, whatever the purpose.

No Parole from Rock 'N Roll

10 maps, some conversions from M2 maps, one extension of a TI level, and a few new maps. All in all, a superb package. Everything from death in small places for 2 to huge, sprawling levels capable of supporting 8. Kree Nakorie, a level I hated when it was first released for M2 (it was so hard to figure out what was going on, and the aliens never gave you a chance to look around) is now a superb strategy level. Wow. Everything tastes better on a Nardo bun. Update fixes a couple of small errors on one level.

Alhambra (tempus irae) v1.1

A huge, wide-open, nicely-built killing area. Weapons and ammo come in clumps... so if you want a particular weapon, you also get lots of ammo for it. Also comes in Evil and Infinity flavors.

Bridge of Despair v1.0

Pretty good layout, Arena type square with bridge in the middle, secret doors, variety of levels, and the S'pht are on your side which means they're pretty useless as usual, especially with that Jugger in the middle of your bridge. King of the Hill, Ball are untested but author recommends up to eight players. No cooperative play although solo is also okay per Mr. Mason.

Carnage Gardens v1.0

Another keeper. Large Arena with perimeter passageways for ammo, 1x & 2x, a couple of elevators, garden pathways. Supports KOTH, Ball, with a sniper outcrop to die for. Up to 8 players and is loaded with mean & nasty aliens for whiz bang solo play; includes a Jugger right there, in the middle of it all! Go ahead, fire your Launcher!. Remember, the Sph't are on your side. At some point lay back & watch everybody duke it out in middle of the Arena, too funny!

Psychodelia's Tempus Maps v1.8

13 levels. A real mix... there are some fun levels here, some really big levels, a couple of tiny levels, and some god-awful lousy levels. A few have physics messed with... one's sorta cute (bob-corn popper with a purpose), but the others are just annoying. DON'T play spnkr's house of horrors with aliens on!

Sand Pebbles

A large outdoor courtyard, surrounded by several buildings (or one, maybe). Nice flow, aided by the openable windows on the upper floor... a few secrets, but nothing that will throw off a net game-very balanced, overall. (You most likely won't run out of ammo, unless you're a really, really bad shot.)

Tempus Irae: The Lost Levels v1.1

10 solo levels and 11 net maps, from the group that brought you Tempus Irae.Although the solo levels don't flow together as well as the originals did, neither will you feel totally lost... and the mapmaking is superb. The original Nardo group did much of the work, but Marathon legends Randall Shaw and Randy Reddig each contributed a level to this masterpiece.

To Squirm and Stiffen... v1.1

5 maps, all nicely built, all catering to slightly different tastes. Small groups should be able to use all 5, but larger groups will probably pass on the middle three... unless they're looking for 5+ kpm rates. Flow is generally quite good.
