Timeline

Bubbleworld v1.1

A bunch of large, well-lit rooms, some waterfilled catacombs beneath them, and darkened narrow passageways connecting everything. This one is absolutely HUGE-any one of the rooms would be big enough for a 2-3 person game... but if you've got the party, come on in!

Let's Rock!

An interesting level with several distinct areas. Big enough to support 6 (that's all the player points there are), but since the ammo is concentrated near the central arena, people should be sticking around there, making it playable with 2-3. As with the M1 level that inspired parts of this (Triskelion), a strategically placed fusion bolt can help increase the death toll on your enemies, while leaving you out of the carnage...

Deadly Vengeance v5.3.3

A HUGE level. Would fit about 30, but has weapons for maybe 2 (and that's pushing it). Pretty nice to look at, though... 775 polygons, so don't bother with a low-end machine. Designed as a net level, but can be played solo.

Dying is Easy

An open area with multi-level platforms, and a lot of intricate hallways and stairwells around the outside. Look for the sniper positions that give access to long-range kill shots... but beware the counterpositions! A deceptive map, for there are many areas that seem safe to rest in, but aren't...

fifty one fifty

Narrow walkways rise above and split the floor. Teleporters bridge the gaps... weapons aplenty, and more than enough 2x powerups. A few out-of-the-way rooms give you a bit of breathing space. Nicely balanced-the high ground is hard to keep, because a spanker shot blows you off the ledge you're standing on.

Glory Hole

This is a net level, but it doesn't matter if you aren't connected to a network-get this map. It doesn't matter if you don't like the design (I find it a bit labyrinthine, but others love that style) - get this map. Dave Turner has once again shown what can be done, by creating a map that uses three different media types (water, lava, and sewage) and two different texture sets (sets 1 and 2, water and lava), all on the same level! And just for fun, he's tossed in some cool tricks (switch-activated teleporter, multi-level elevator, retractable recharger). He also includes info on repeating ...

Mad Pfhortes v2.0

A couple of buildings and some surrounding courtyard. You can get to every place you can see, but the teleporters that make this possible are not at all obvious. You may have to resort to a map editor to find them... but once your group knows where they are, this becomes a very fast-moving map.

Monkey's Fist

Very similar to Everyone's Mortal in layout, but much different in actual play. Very fast, with a defendable hill.

Suffer Me v1.1

A hill, surrounded by shallow lava, and overseen by several sniper perches. Getting on the hill is non-trivial, but stop in the lava if you need a little height... This should have some fast games. Update makes the sniper perches MUCH less secure.

The Last Stand

Two maps, one for small groups and one for large. Neither is huge... At first glance, this is a very simple map, but some of the dead ends actually make nice ambush spots, and a few of the escape stairwells will catch your feet if you're running away and not paying attention...
