A pit, filled with many pillars which can either act as cover or induce suicides, is surrounded by a ledge. The pillars effectively hinder sniping from the ledge... but the high ground is useful, nonetheless. (Watch for shots from below, though... the ledge is lit, and the pit is not.) Teleporters bring you up, jumping brings you down.

A tall cylinder, with stairs (and teleporters) around the outside, and a very slow-moving platform in the center. If you can stay alive on the platform until it reaches the top (unlikely, but...), invincibility awaits you. (There aren't any fusion pistols...)

A small arena with a raised ring around the outside. (Access to the ring is via teleporters.) Lots of fusion bobs, and more ammo than you could ever use... a recipe for disaster if ever there was one. Watch who you shoot...

This puppy's much bigger than it seems at first blush. Billed as "a very simple carnage warehouse", this map contains lots and lots of nooks and crannies... enough to keep eight players busy, easily. The hill is reachable from a hundred different directions, it seems... you can jump to it from nearby ledges, and teleporters bring you to it from the farther reaches. And wonder of wonders... this map contains two lava pools, and neither one has to be fatal! This map has potential as a long-term keeper.
