Grendel Manqué v2

An upgrade of a 5 map collection - it's 15 maps now. Emphasis is on lighting and special effects - maps are very pretty to look at.

Rocket Launcher

A square level, with a bunch of fake walls, and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of rocket packs. Internally, the level is called 'Die', which is relatively accurate - you can't always see what's coming at you, because of the fake walls.

Waterfall Arena

A square arena, with a trough around it... and a water elevator to bridge the gap. Obscene numbers of objects/baddies complete the picture.

Illumination

24 levels, some simple, some more complex... all quite playable for small to medium groups. Emphasis is on movement... and it works well. With 24 maps, your net group shouldnt' get bored too quickly...

Aero 1.0

Small & fast map with lots of altitude differences. MOTM Jan 2001.

Lush Supersuite v1.2

7 levels, ranging from huge to tiny. Some take inspiration from Bungie levels (you'll know by the name), some are entirely original. All are well-constructed, and provide nicely for heavy carnage.

Pong

Very clever- amazing it hasn't been done before.This one's a lot of fun. It is what it sounds like - you (and your opponent) are the paddles, missiles are the ball. The missiles can't hurt you... but if you miss one, the crusher that it triggers can... A blast.

Chokin' on the Splinters v2.0

A multilevel, familiar-feeling map... but you haven't seen this before, at least not in this form. Lots of tight spaces, good flow... but also easy to get trapped, easy to find yourself in a corner.

Arthur vs. Makbeth 1.5

A huge map, several large, open areas connected by tight, twisting corridors. Lots and lots of baddies for solo play - maybe too many for net play (they all regenerate) - you get baddie jams in hallways. Otherwise, an interesting level - some fun strategy stuff can be done.

Gladiator Station

A tight level, space station? Lighting is very nicely done - dark, but plenty of detail. Some really fun eye candy. A save term (very odd for a net level!). Unmerged on purpose, so you can add whatever physics you like. More weapons and ammo than you can shake a pfhorstaff at. Be careful with that SPNKR... you're more liable to hurt yourself than you enemies!

Pfhor Years and Seven Months 1.5

Mostly dark, and mostly underwater (okay, sewage). A few walkways on the surface... beware of grenades knocking you off. Plenty of ammo, but no O2... so you gotta kill each other before you run out. (Shouldn't be too hard.)

Simplici7y Contest Entries

In April/May 2000, bungie.org held a mapmaking competition in which the goal was to make the most interesting map with only 7 polygons. The top 7 maps won prizes...

Stadious Maximus

A huge, sprawling, dark level. Flow isn't as smooth as it could be, due to lots of water areas with limited exits, but once you learn the layout, you should be able to get around fine. Merged with a custom physics model called 'Cyborg Standard' that beefs up both the baddies and the weapons. Pretty hard on normal, as a practice level... pretty sparse, netwise, with less than three players. You gotta love that second trigger on the SMG, though... BLAM!

Carnage Time Arena v2.0

A simple, diamond-shaped map with a raised walkway down the center. Teleporters at either end let you jump back and forth between the areas separated by the walkway... or you can climb the outside stairways (as a target) to reach the top. Version 2 is totally redone... retextured, new hidey-holes, PLENTY of ammo. A far better 2-man map. (More than 3 and death rates would get obscene.)

Netplay

A large, square arena, surrounded by a huge maze. Most weapons and ammo (and oxygen canisters - it's a vacuum level) are in the maze. Careful in the bottom right corner... it's possible to get stuck in the passageway. Since it's a vacuum level, there are no explosive weapons, so if you get stuck, you're done.

Phozirus v1.2

A collection of 5 maps (well, 6 if you count a small opening level for one of the other ones - accessible only in single player and coop).

The Secret Pit

A circular outdoor arena, with grandstand seats, and a small but deep (waterfilled) pit in the center. All the goodies (SPNKR, TOZT, powerup canisters) are in the central pit... but good players will be able to take a good chunk of health out of someone diving in - the opening is small enough that you have to slow down to a walk to get in. Better hope you actually kill them going down!

Sea of Darkness

A small net map with a raised platform surrounded by a dark ring. Carnage rates should be high with almost any number of players... there's nowhere to hide. (Weapons and ammo are plentiful.)

Jet Li/ITower V1.1

Aother map using the Jet Li physics model. This one is a multi-level skyscraper... takes nice advantage of the flying part of the physics. Update adds MUCH more ammo.

Uncompromised

Three maps from Mark Conahan, originally released in early 1997, but only on Mark's webpage. Finally making their way into the Archives.
