Thread the Needle

Very small, very dangerous. (Very similar to a couple of Suicide maps...) Don't get stuck at the bottom!

Cake and Friends

4 maps. A couple of these are built like layer cakes (hence the name). The best one, Soggy Layer Cake, has a bizarre bug that causes it to crash ONLY Powermacs. (I've never seen this before.) It runs fine on 68K machines, though...

DMMC Archive v9

10 levels. A couple of fun solo ones, but the net ones are pretty uninspired.

Don't Fall In!

Has a few bugs (telepost bugs, weird textures, that sort of thing). Basically a run-around-and shoot-stuff map.

Be My Shotgun Messiah

A simple arena, with lots and lots and lots of shotguns, lots of blue pfhor, and one spanker. Great as a practice arena, too (there are never fewer than 4 blues alive at any point).

DMMC Archive v7

11 maps. Not my style at all... well, the last four maps are okay. (The last two are actually pretty fun solo.)

Funnels

I don't think I get this one. Narrow passageways, with lots of bobs, and small sewage pits filled with F'lickta. These would be dangerous, if not for the fact that you never need to get deep enough for them to bother you... Oh, well. Good for a bob shoot, anyway.

M2 Suicide v6

5 more... a mix. Launching Pad is great, but really slow on slower macs... and there's a map here that reminds me how much that Alien textureset hurts my eyes.

M2 Suicide v7

Again, 5 converted M1 Suicides. Couple of killers here... Peekaboo really benefits from the ambient sounds, compared to the M1 version.

Mutual Satisfaction (m2)

A hellish tiny arena. My advice: get down, get a weapon, and get up as fast as you can. Otherwise, you're gonna be in a world of hurt.

Osterizer's Net Maps

Three maps. Chess is pretty unique... and Guerrillas in the Mist has a couple of very nice secrets.

Waldo World Arena B v1.4

I only call it this because it's the second conversion of Waldo World to be uploaded... I actually like this one better. GREAT use of background texture in the dead-end room! Update adds loads of nice features. This one is a real improvement on the original Waldo World... a great net map. If you like this map, check out theWaldo World Collaborative Project!

Absolut M2

A port of the M1 Absolut map. This one might actually work as a net level, though... it's full of water.

All Roads Lead to Waldo World

Yet another Waldo port... this one uses the pfhor textures, and entrance to the side rooms is via teleporter instead of a door (makes it pretty hard to back out...).

Banzai! v2

The most innovative use of current I've seen yet. Aptly named (and spelled right, now). A really, really cool small map. Check it out! (You might need the map view to figure out what's going on, if you're facing the wrong way...) Update adds a few tweaks. Send films to the author. Do it.

Beyond Thunderdome

The author says this was designed as a solo practice level, and it has no lighting effects. I'd say it's a pretty nicely designed level, quite big (4+ players), and its only real shortcoming is the abundance of open space (making it very slow on 68K machines). Lots of goodies, though...

CA Maps

3 maps. Nice concepts. Two require teams to be much fun... but the teams can be as small as one person each. These are well-designed, and worth the download.

JC Net Collection v1.1

Jeremy Condit's net maps (4 of 'em), converted from M1 and enhanced. These were great levels for M1 (usually with some sort of unusual twist), and he's really improved the feel of them for M2. Stop the Press!, for example, doesn't feel so claustrophobic anymore, now that the outer ring is outdoors... These are all worth a look. And read the readme... there's quite a bit of useful information there. Update fixes a bug, and adjusts ammo...

M2 Suicide v5

5 more converted M1 suicides. The texture choices are getting much better. Mountains o' carnage...
