Some of my Favorite Things...

A two player map. Each player is in an enclosed space, facing the other across a no-mans land. Death rates will be low, unless your opponent doesn't know how to take cover.

Temple of Moo

A circular main arena, with a passageway circling it at ground level, and another on the second floor. Sniper ledges with lots of cover are also on the second floor. There are two additional versions of the map included, for smaller groups-one removes the ground floor outer passage, and one removes the second floor outer passage.

The Meat Grinder

A straightforward carnage arena. Two pillars in the center, a sewage-filled passageway around the outside, and some outside ledges. There seem to be some bad walls (poly edges with actual textures assigned, even though it's supposed to be open space), but I didn't get any crashes because of it...

Tunnels

Narrow passageways filled with knee-deep water, and several fisheye powerups. Makes for drunken carnage...

Axio-WEE

A modification of FrigidMan's Axiocranium (authorized). New secrets, many more baddies, and some really, really death-dealing physics. (Do NOT, under any circumstances, be holding the fusion pistol when it overloads.)

Death By Accident

A large, rather geometrical level. Lots of different areas, with different challenges and tricks. Heavy use of windows-use 'em for sniping.

Hunting Hunters (m2)

A pretty nice little arena, with lots of side passages, and WAY too many hunters. I guess if you were into practicing against them... Don't get trapped in the bob generation room.

Lost Angles2

7 maps. A few are ports of the M1 version of Lost Angles (I think). Others seem to be new. Generally decent layout, a little bit sloppy (lots of bad textures, misaligned textures, that sort of thing), but good play.

MerryGoRound

Four maps. Two are straightforward arenas, but the other two have some unique features... See how long you can stay on the hill on Piston (sniper points are placed particularly well), and InnerSpace is pretty cool.

No Soup For You!

An arena with a sort of a spiral staircase looping around and above it. Lots of wall openings, but once you're past the first ring, you're pretty much out of range unless your opponent is REALLY slow.

Squish

Imagine Everyone's Mortal But Me with deadly sniper seats... A grenade from the hill into any sniper seat will make life very uncomfortable for anyone in there, whether the grenade hits near them or not. A pretty fun secret that will never be seen by folks not using custom physics models (like the one enclosed).

The Corporate Ladder

Simple in design, but pretty fun in netplay. Four staircases meet in a cross, with the hill at the top. Around the bottom is another ring, with ammo... but you actually have to be coming up the stairs to get a shot at anyone at the top. Watch the walls when wielding that spanker...

Compound Pfhracture v1.1

Square, and symmetrical in gameplay. Easy to get lost at first, but not too bad to learn. Two levels, with many ways between them... Nice central bridge area. Update tweaks textures and object placement.

In Your Pfhace

Just what it sounds like. A small arena, with both elevators and water columns to move up and down. Really fast-paced... and it looks nice, too.

Lava Extreme!

A simple net level, probably best with two players. A couple of ledges are separated by a lava pit. One player can control the lava, and teleporters from one side to the other are at the bottom... just make sure your opponent's nowhere near the switch when you jump in.

Compilation

A bunch of Marathon players took 54 of their favorite small maps, edited them a bit to their liking (more ammo, lower ledges in some cases, etc.), and stuffed them into a single Map file, to make net play easier. Unfortunately, the documentation is a bit sparse... (hard to tell which map comes from where, or what was done to it). If you're looking for a large collection of maps that someone else has already said is above average, download this.

DG's 4 Map Pak

4 levels (what did you expect?). Three are originals, one is a remake of someone else's M1 map. The remake is pretty impressive (a really large fortress, lots and lots of different areas), the originals are ordinary maps.

I Dare You!

A two-level arena, with lots of nooks and crannies on both levels. Watch the crossfire!

Kairn Pfhortress

A very large, extremely good-looking castle. Very nice lighting... Construction detail is on the order of Villa Banzai. Readme says it crashes 68K machines hard, with IZD not making a difference, but I had no problem on a Q800 running IZD. You'll probably need 4+ to keep the kill rates reasonable...

Need Pfhore Speed

A pretty slick little arena, with zippy platforms, a water cannon you can access from a couple of places, multiple exits from almost every area, and enough firepower to level Cleveland. Carnage should be high, with any number of players above one...
