Timeline

First Mission

A small two level solo map, well, the first level is informational only, but the second level is medium sized. The authors first map, and for a first timer not bad at all. Some common textures throughout, but some very good work with platforms and elevators. Flow isn't really great, but it is good enough to keep you playing. Just the right amount of baddies in comparison to ammo/weapons. So, for the most part this guy is on the right track. He is requesting email so please take the time to let him know. New mapmakers are always encouraged and it...

The King is Dead

This is supposed to be the authors first map and he states in the read me that he was learning Forge as he went along. Well, if this is how he learned I can only imagine what is to come from him in the future. A very good 1 level solo map that has some very good tricks and puzzles in it. I found myself going back to reread the terminals, as I thought I had done everything the level had called for. You will need to take this one slow so that you don't miss anything.

Marathon Earth

The style of this author is unmatched by any map that I have seen since December of 95! This author can take basic polygonal shapes and expand on them to the point that you loose track of the fact that you are in the same geometry most of the time. A three level solo map that is designed to remind you of some earth type adventures. Level 1-Roswell-posted earlier on the hyperarchive, Level 2-Redwood Forest-some cool textures here. Level 3-Hometown USA-(dreamscape)-a complete revamp of Infinity texture sets. Some of these textures are really great!!

Be Happy or Not 1.7

Download this map!! Four levels make up this adventure and probably the best part about it, it is designed for co-op play. You can also play it solo. I can't say enough good things about this map. I first played this when it was only for Marathon 2 back last November. The third level really intrigued me, at least to the point of going into Forge to figure out how he did the tricks. There are multiple paths to the end, some easier than others. Save terminals for the solo players. No Dead Ends! and with this Infinity update it basically improves overall game play.

Just Do It

A very well constructed two level solo map that will have you retracing your steps many times. No terminals, not a whole lot of detail but some great ideas along with some very good construction. This author has come a long way since his first map and make sure you take the time to send him some email. I was stuck forever on this thing before I finally found my way. It is possible to finish so keep trying and make sure that you explore EVERYWHERE. The second level is really just the end so once you get through the first, you are practically done.

"FALLEN ANGEL: The Chai'etra Saga, Pt 3 3

We had part one, then part two and now part three. The time that this author puts in on a map, well, it should give you some insight on just how dedicated he is to his work. AND It has paid off!! With this installment you get 8 levels. Typical of this author is that you rarely see a standard door or corner or even a wall! Detail is everywhere and you get a appreciation for it after just the first level. Puzzles are good and bugs, well, I couldn't find any. There are secrets and secret terminals. So, make sure to take your time. Great artwork and some that was very familiar to Roger Dean an...

Marathon 1984

The whole game!! With this download you get three levels of some of the best puzzles since Infinity, Megiddo and Evil. This author is not all that new of a mapmaker, but, in a very short time he has established what is now possible. I won't elaborate too much, but with the map you get a shapes patch, (rescompare). You'll enjoy the new textures, and the new scenary. I only found a couple of bugs and have notified the author. Check out the first elevator ride, the message is a new trick that I think now, will be a new marathon standard!..Get this one!!

Higher 4

It's hard to address this level. A very large map that can be played solo or co-op. The very best thing I can say about this submission is the light sets are very well done. In the large rooms that surround the inner "quasi" arena, are some of the best realistic light sets that I have seen yet. It actually looks like light that gradually goes from bright to dark all in one viewing distance. A very good job!

Ketchup

A map that shows possibly the funniest bug ever found in Marathon. I found this map at Bo Lindbergs site and asked permission to post it. This map is nothing more that a visual display of what the bug is in Marathon. I personally have never seen it before. Pretty interesting and very observant to even find it!

Audio Levels 2.0

A update of a great mapmaking assistant. These levels give you the sounds that go along with the pull downs in Pfhorte and Forge. This update now adds platforms and ambient and random sounds.
