A very nicely done solo level... the first of a series that will make up the first installment Marathon map ever released. Quite difficult, as are most of Tony's maps... but very satisfying. If you can't figure out what you need to do next, go back and check recently visited areas, looking for changes. Great term art (the best use of Bungie art to date, imo). As usual, dive into the melee; wield superior firepower; endure. (Just don't cheat-this one's too much fun...)

Derived from Tanks, What a Wonderful Thing, this map has lots of water, lots of passageways, and just enough depth change to get you to blow yourself up every so often.

A small, simple arena, with a twist. There's a hill in the center, and four rooms around the outside. The rooms have windows through which players can shoot (in either direction...). The doors leaving the rooms are one-way, out. However, with a little searching, you might find another way back in... but watch that you don't get SPNKed while you're looking.

A big ring in a bigger room. You can use the center pool to get to the outer rings, or you can grenade-jump there directly... Check the water for treats, and look around for a tozter... One bad texture in the tozter room.

Geometrical, with multiple routes of entry and exit from each area. Use the sewers... they're faster than the ledge routes. Overall, a highly polished map. Comes with a bunch of Marathon icons.

Too much lava for my tastes... A large arena with smaller areas around the perimeter. Problem is, they're mostly filled with lava... Example-there's a 2x recharger, but you can't get to it without at least 2x shields... and we haven't had a chance to test it with a big group, but it seems to be a little short on weapons. The large size comes from a screenshot that's been blown way up to become a scrolling chapter screen.

A pretty nice 5D map, in the vein of 5D space. A couple of secrets, but nothing you can't live without... (for example, there's a hidden spanker, but they'll show up in the main area after a little while). Good use of ambient sounds.

An extremely well-done 8-level solo scenario. (Well, the count's a little suspect-there are a couple of levels that probably shouldn't be counted (they're added for story continuity, but except for weapons refreshment, they don't have much on 'em), and one net level that's simply the last level, redone for netplay-but the important part is that it's a full scenario.) The story revolves around the battle for a water supply plant... and has a non-standard ending. The chapter art is inspired. Highly recommended.

A pretty big map, but very pleasant to look at, and open enough (with enough access to most points) that even smaller groups should enjoy it. Great lighting and sound... one of the more impressive releases off the (now-defunct) Testing Grounds. Update is only for email address change.
