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.
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!
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.)
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
My goodness. 8 rooms, 8 layers. 328 polygons of goodness. You could probably come up with a more convoluted use for 5D space... but it would involve small dark men in overcoats, and octopi.
A very large, multilevel netmap. It's actually quite playable solo, due to the huge numbers of Devlins and drones... if baddies are turned on for a netgame, hill games become insane.
