Timeline

Mars Needs Carnage v1.0

Amazing. 4 and a half years after the release of the original Marathon, maps are still being made for that engine. This is a small map that crosses parts of Mars Needs Women and Carnage Palace Deeluxe. Flow is quite good, and the map is familiar enough (yet different) to those who played Marathon in the early days that getting around is second nature. Definitely worth a look!

Sincerely Me

A small net map, originally created for the Simplici7y contest (and so containing only 7 polys). Play is fast and furious, made moreso by two turret guns whcih cover roughly 65% of the small area. Included are two films, showing the level off. Amazing what you can do with 7 polys.

Warm and TOZT

A large, square arena with a bridgelike structure in the center (over a lava pool). Most action takes place on the ledge around the outside, or down on the floor. Elevators are nice and fast... mix of open and closed spaces. Archive size is due to a number of screenshots. Map is unmerged, on purpose.

Fumbling Towards Ecstasy v1.0.1

A double-level oval, with a few nooks and crannies, and a large open sewage pool in the center. Quite open, yet lots of cover. Larger groups might find it tight, but less than five should have room to breathe. Nice lighting, good weapons placement (though a little tight on ammo)... a worthwhile download. Update adds a second level that allows more reasonable KTMWTB play.

Jet Li/In the Walls

An experiment, more than anything. The map is really just there to show off the physics model. Walkfing's faster, running messes with gravity... pistols shoot rockets (although they still do bullet damage-big difference is if you shoot a close wall, you can die, unlike your standard pistols). If you're interested in making an urban combat map, and don't feel like starting from scratch, this might be a help.

Dogfight Netpack 2.0

9 maps, 6 large, 3 medium/small. A few minor problems, but all in all, decent flow, lots of weapons/ammo, varied layouts. If your group is looking for new netmaps, you should find some good stuff in here.

Jet Li/Bob Arena, Rooftops

Adds a new, improved physics model to the Jet Li concept released a few days ago. Now the rockets have been replaced by shell casings (they look like marshmallows flying at you, but they're a hell of a lot more dangerous), and there are lots of dangerous bobs. This is getting very interesting...

The Battle Cat's World Tour v1.1

7 maps, spanning the length and breadth of the world during world war II. Okay, not really. Just 7 maps, all tweaked for pretty nice carnage rates, with great attention to detail and superb flow. Plays solo or net.

Seven Pansies Prancing

A large, relatively intricate design, in two flavors - night and day. Ammo will NEVER be a problem. Flow is quite good... larger groups will find that there are very few safe places, and those few you do find can end up as killing fields. The first runthrough is a bit confusing, but once you've got the layout down, movement is great. Absolutely worth a look.

Monke NetPack v1.1

I really did not appreciate the other review that somebody else made for my file so I decided to delete and write my own description. This pack consists of 5 maps ranging from fairly big to fairly small. 4 out of the 5 maps has the great nuke. Ammo and gun placement is very balanced, I tried very hard to achieve that. Some of these maps are as old as Marathon 2, way back when I used to use Pfhorte. The whole layout of all of them, is pretty much based off of geometric shapes. Net games are a lot of fun with these maps. My personnal favorite map is Rearviewmirror. Have fun, Happy Happy Carnage Carnage.
