Timeline

Skeet

A practice level, more than anything... jugs and drones, modified to die via a single magnum bullet, pop up periodically. Good thing they've been modified, because the only weapons available are, you guessed it, magnums. Treat it like a skeet shoot... where the pigeons shoot back.

Somewhere West of Aldebaran

3 ships, all with strengths and weaknesses, all centered around a nasty (regenerating) jug. Pick your location, attack the jug (or your friends). Don't like the ship you're in? Teleport to one of the other two! Mapmaking is quite nice, gameplay is a bit frenetic.

SPNKman

A pac-man like maze, filled with pfhor and... spnkrs? Geez. This one will seriously fine-tune your spanking. After 10 minutes, you should be able to kill pfhor (and your friends) that are in your face by dropping a missile on the ground behind them. (Hint... shoot left.)

The Well

An interesting spiral-staircase-centered level. Some funky 5D going on, and watch the dark pit at the bottom... And beware. We had two separate crashes as people exited the bottom area for the stairs-looks like it might be a too-many-transparent-edges problem. (Doesn't come up every time... just sometimes when you turn right too quickly.)

This is Not Your War

A huge, two-bunker map. Each side has a team of locals. (Bobs, hunters, a jug.) PIck a side, go kill the other side. (With help, of course.) You'll get killed eventually, but it's pretty fun until you do. Can also be played net, but it gets a bit trickier to avoid getting killed by the locals...

AG3: Retribution

A large netmap designed for multiplayer carnage. The focal point is a medium sized circular water pool, but most of the action will be taking place in the surrounding rooms and corridors. No shortage of ammo on this one. There's a lot of aliens and friendlies placed in this map, so it would also make a fun solo practice level.

Ain't Talking About Death

A large square net-level. A head height ledge runs around the outside wall reached by four elevators. The center of the level is more enclosed (lower ceilings) with a pillar containing three shield rechargers. Game play is fast and furious - even more so due to the merged 'speed-up' physics model.

B-Blazer Collection V1.0

A pair of net levels that you'll either love or hate. The first is a simple arena, a wide walkway around the outside and eight narrower walkways crossing over a deep lava pool. All the textures are set to slide/wander causing some disorientating effects, although with the amount of ammo available, you'll be too busy killing each other to notice. The second level consists of two large square areas - one is made up from 8 rooms surrounding a central hill, and the second from various corridors and water columns. Teleporters link the two. Again, the texturing uses slide/wander and landscape for floors and ceilings (as well as some untextured sides).

Battle at Volar Tempest

Designed for team-play, this is a port of the M2 level Assault: Bunker Attack! to Infinity. The idea here is to enter the opposing teams base and activate four switches that will sound a siren to signify the winning team. This version extends the map by adding more routes into each base, and some other mainly cosmetic changes (also removes the need for IZD).

Brighter than Light

A large, wide-open square space with a hill at the center of one side. Access is either along vulnerable ledges, or via a platform right in front of the hill, activated by a switch behind the hill. Plenty of ammo and weapons.
