"Blood-loss, Folly and Passion"

A very big net map with a lot of polys. It was still pretty fast in high-res. Again from the author of The Hunger Which Summons, another very large net map that will require 8. (you might get by with six). 3 courtyards that surround a center arena with a water pump in the middle. There is a hide-out here so in essence, KOTH could be played. The spankr is located in a isolated room but the rewards in this area will come with some baddies. Some very nice detail work again. This guy just keeps getting better and better...

Don't Scapegoat the Metamucil

A medium sized arena map with wrapping hallways that have many obstacles. Very similiar to Marathon 2 net level-"Shangrila"...but with a lot of corners and bends. The small arena in the middle has a 2x recharge, (sound familiar), and two chip insertion slots. The chips will open some very slow doors with ammo caches. The spankr is there, but again you will pay dearly for it if your not careful. IMO don't even try the bigger weapons or you will be in "suicide heaven"...

Dysfunctional Temporal Lobes

A small net map with alot of "5D". A built in physics model will give one of the weapons some added punch. A long rectangle net map with some 5D hallways in the middle. Really confused me at first.

Visceral Fury

A somewhat medium sized net level with a built in physics model. Weapons are different in this level, since you are born with a spankr and some of the other ones require some baddies when you get them. The missle paks are located along two walkways-but don't go too slow along them, you will find that these are prime areas to get picked off...

update now takes the physics model out..

Big Whoopee Dings Dongs

A small, very detailed sunken arena with two outer rings that wrap around it. The rings are constructed at two different elevations that are open to the arena. This map is very fast and has great flow, except in the pit. Exit out of the pit is via teleporters, or by a elevator in the middle that leads to a 2x shield recharger atop a raised hill. But, as noted in the past with this author, don't get to greedy for the shields, you are exposed to most areas from the rings.

The Hunger which Summons

A large, (this puppy is big), net level that will take 6 to 8 to keep it interesting. Some very good detail work here but this thing goes on and on. Jjaro textures along with vacuum enviroment, will keep you moving through this thing at a pretty good clip. A couple of dead ends and a teleporter to another area off the main map, aliens are pretty vicious there, but other than that a very good map. Small passages and wide open rooms will make you take a while to get your bearings. "controlled action and stalking should dominate". (authors read me) Sounds like a good strategy. EMFH or KTMWTB ...

Dance Hits

A large net level that consists of three square/rectangular rooms. Many sniper perches that are accessed by player controlled switches. Triple powerups are located three times in this level, but don't stay there too long... One secret where the aliens will win eventually. The read me gives a suggested strategy.
