Timeline

Firehill v1.0

A very large net map that is very well constructed IMO. This arena is BIG, and the ring that wraps around gives the effect that it is a long way until you get to the next door (also the width of them will provide for some easy spnkr kills). 4 doors open into the ring (north south east west) with a lava pit in the middle for the hill. A map that I really liked, since I dig tons of room to play net games in.

Not Everyone's Mortal

A port of the Marathon 2, "Everyones Mortal But Me". This port adds a ring around the arena from the standard transport perches with some ammo and a couple of secrets.

Spankers Map Sixpack

A really different type of net maps. The read me alone was quite different and I must say enjoyable. Not since the Hell Hole read me has one been so detailed. These maps will hold from 2 to 8 players. They are titled Double The Luck, Space Crap, Stop, The Complex, The Gutter and The Lavawood Bowl. Some of these were very well constructed. Take a look and see for yourself. I liked The Gutter the best--great idea here!!

Go To Hill

Probably best designed for KOTH, tag or KTMWTB. A very large net map with enough nooks and crannies that less than 5, would make it real slow. Some 5D with this one that made for some cool visual effects. The Hill is accessible through levels or ledges. No sounds to speak of.

MI Carnage Palace Deee-Luxe

A very good port of the Bungie level Carnage Palace Deee-Luxe. The texture set gives it just the right touch. Fast carnage or hide out to blast away.

Mindbender

Just what the title suggests. It's been a while since I went to the map mode this many times while going through a net map. Secrets with this one that has some pretty good rewards. But, again would only support a few net modes and so large that it would be slow with small groups. With 7 or 8 it would probably be fast due to the sheer size of this thing. Some of the textures lend themselves to be confusing at times. No sounds to speak of.

Carnagey Hall

A medium sized rectangular level that despite the polygon effects is still pretty fast. A raised walkway around the edge and across the middle of the lowered carnage area provides for some high carnage totals. Again the author suggest using the "DASH" sounds patch along with the game.

Desperate Pfhor Net Play

Net levels of Marathon that you can play by yourself along with other net players. Well kind of?? A physics model and map comes with this file that will turn the bobs into "Psycho Killers". They are sheilded so be warned.

Niagarena Falls

A very large net level that has some neat tricks to it. A couple of water chutes (cannons), a couple of transporters and some very deep and big water areas. Just like the title suggests. No Flechette, the author did this on purpose so the level would play in Marathon 2 as well. You will have to go swimming to get the guns you need, and ammo.

Potato Ball

A good idea that seems to be the thing to do right now. A small arena complete with a audience (aliens) in the bleachers and with 2 blue s'pht as ticket takers. Sounds interesting, huh?? Those Potatoanus' are the balls and you job is to blast it into the opposing goal. You start in the locker area right next to the showers, then you progress by the concession stand and then into the arena. Pretty fun if this is your type of Marathon.
