Timeline

Ode to Pombero (M2) v1.7

11 levels. These were released for Infinity a few months back... now they're available in M2 format, and they prove that great maps can look great in multiple texturesets. Rich is a master at multilevel carnage...

Shiny Things v1.2

4 maps, with a pretty wide range of gameplay options. Tight-in play, wide open play. Claustrophobic flow, liquid flow. Aliens out the yin-yang, alien-free. One thing these maps have in common... you will NOT run out of ammo. Three of the maps use the Pfhor textureset, and generally do a pretty good job of it. The last is a huge waterset map, with almost all types of gameplay included... everyone should be able to find an area they like. Definitely worth a look.

Industrial Strength (M2) (revised)

One side is full of canyons and ledges, the other side is a fortress. Between them is a lava river that serves more than one purpose. This map is really pretty to look at, but if you play it with aliens on, you'll never get to see that... revised version fixes smearing, tweaks ammo. This was fixed three years ago, but never made it into the archives.

The Core (G4 or better) v0.9

This is a large circular arena, with grandstand-like steps around the edges, a towering, climbable hill in the center, and some tunnels for navigation.

Uncompromised

Three maps from Mark Conahan, originally released in early 1997, but only on Mark's webpage. Finally making their way into the Archives.

Gettin' to 3rd Base

Released a couple of years ago on Hotline, finally being added to the Archives. A pretty straightforward multi-room map, with a bunch of teleporters to move you around if you don't like taking the long way. Only real problem is that the teleporter pads are quite small... hard to hit 'em right if you're being shot at. (Maybe that was the intention, actually.) One of the rooms is shaped like a baseball diamond, hence the name. Them TI textures are purty!

Jet Li/ITower V1.1

Aother map using the Jet Li physics model. This one is a multi-level skyscraper... takes nice advantage of the flying part of the physics. Update adds MUCH more ammo.

Sea of Darkness

A small net map with a raised platform surrounded by a dark ring. Carnage rates should be high with almost any number of players... there's nowhere to hide. (Weapons and ammo are plentiful.)

The Secret Pit

A circular outdoor arena, with grandstand seats, and a small but deep (waterfilled) pit in the center. All the goodies (SPNKR, TOZT, powerup canisters) are in the central pit... but good players will be able to take a good chunk of health out of someone diving in - the opening is small enough that you have to slow down to a walk to get in. Better hope you actually kill them going down!

Evil-Egypt

A small map which uses the Evil glyph textures to suggest the inside of a pyramid. Weapons and baddies galore... but flow is a bit constricted (tbasically, the layout is a series of rooms, linked by a single passageway in either direction). Rooms are either pitch black (gotta love those devlin eyes glowing at you) or brighly lit. If you know the secrets, there are ways around without dealing with the baddies.
