Timeline

Frankenstein v1.0

A perfect example of why Bungie should never have unleashed the alien textureset on us...

Hill Billies

Sort of a cross between the third-party Circular Death and Bungie's Everyone's Mortal but Me. Faster paced than both...

Jeff's M2 Maps

7 maps. A real grab-bag... some have really annoying texture combinations, and some are quite enjoyable. (The last one is a pretty fun 5-D space kinda thing.) All maps are geared for smaller groups, although some will support more.

New Toys v1.0

Bungie's Thunderdome meets MetaTool's Goo. A pretty nice arena... comes with a physics models that makes those long shots easier to connect with.

Pits of Despair

A really nicely constructed, meticulously lit, extremely annoying level. You feel like you're in a giant honeycomb filled with lava... you can cross areas when the lava's down, but it comes back up pretty quickly... Death rates should be much higher than kill rates.

Shadows of Mordor v2.0

Looks like it was designed by a civil engineer on speed (except for the textures, when he switched to acid). This map is a sniper's dream. Well, if the sniper is good at moving... There is absolutely NO place that's safe from attack... Don't play this map if you're feeling paranoid. (I mean most of this in a good way- I don't think I've ever seen so many sniper positions in a single map. The textures, though...) Update tones the textures down a little, and adds some key strategic tweaks. Watch your back!

Compilation

A bunch of Marathon players took 54 of their favorite small maps, edited them a bit to their liking (more ammo, lower ledges in some cases, etc.), and stuffed them into a single Map file, to make net play easier. Unfortunately, the documentation is a bit sparse... (hard to tell which map comes from where, or what was done to it). If you're looking for a large collection of maps that someone else has already said is above average, download this.

DG's 4 Map Pak

4 levels (what did you expect?). Three are originals, one is a remake of someone else's M1 map. The remake is pretty impressive (a really large fortress, lots and lots of different areas), the originals are ordinary maps.

I Dare You!

A two-level arena, with lots of nooks and crannies on both levels. Watch the crossfire!

Kairn Pfhortress

A very large, extremely good-looking castle. Very nice lighting... Construction detail is on the order of Villa Banzai. Readme says it crashes 68K machines hard, with IZD not making a difference, but I had no problem on a Q800 running IZD. You'll probably need 4+ to keep the kill rates reasonable...
