Timeline

First Invasion

6 levels, with three being variations on a theme. The overall feeling is confusion... darkness, lots of repeating textures, death from seemingly nowhere. Oh... and watch those physics models.

Garden Hill 1.5

Another huge arena (better suited for the Aleph One engine, which won't smear with distances like this). A huge courtyard surrounds a large double-layered tower. Tight on ammo, but plenty of room to run.

Pool of Happyness

A large, sewage-filled arena with some tunnels around the outside. Slight smearing problems (nonexistent under Aleph One). Weapons are all around the outside ring, so head right out at the start.

Simplici7y Contest Winners

On April 17, 2000, bungie.org announced a contest whereby entrants had to create maps that used exactly 7 polygons. Almost 50 entries came in, most quite interesting. The winning 7 Entries won prizes...

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.
