The Rock 1.1

A two-level solo map that is a great adventure. The first level is informational only, with a pretty good design idea. The second level is the main battleground for the story. You end up on a listening post and you have to activate.....well, I won't spoil it for you. The last terminal had a few problems for me, but other than that, this is a good map! Very well designed and I was impressed with the stair construction. Flow is good and lights are done well. For the authors first attempt not bad at all.

Kessen Chu

A large 5 level solo map, that has so many sprites that I really didn't think the engine would handle it. The story line is that you are a security officer.....The story is pretty cool. Three large solo levels in this map and 2 net levels. This is a different map, one of the likes that I haven't seen before. You give it your opinion and make sure to email the author. Construction was pretty clean but some of the levels are very linear. Worth the download.

Malancanth 1.5

A good two level solo map. The first level is for ammo/weapons and information, but get all that you can. You will need it on the second level. Comes with a built in physics model that gives you two pistols? You will be able to yield superior fire power, but be forwarned, the kick from these new weapons will push you completely across the room. Good flow, pretty well laid out, story line is good and some of the baddies now die but, they will take you with them if your to close.

Audio Levels 2.0

A update of a great mapmaking assistant. These levels give you the sounds that go along with the pull downs in Pfhorte and Forge. This update now adds platforms and ambient and random sounds.

Grenade It

A single level solo map with some interesting tricks. You might end up calling this, "Hit The Switches", but it's a pretty good adventure. This is the authors second map and he is steadily getting better. Your email helped him when I posted his first map in May, make sure you take the time again. Your aim needs to be good, just as the title suggests!

Objects of the Game

A level that in turn allows you to view the different objects that correspond with the pull downs in Forge. But, in turn it turned into a 3 level map that really is pretty good. Check this out and make sure to email the author to let him know that his efforts DO help. Especially if you are a beginning mapmaker.

Higher 4

It's hard to address this level. A very large map that can be played solo or co-op. The very best thing I can say about this submission is the light sets are very well done. In the large rooms that surround the inner "quasi" arena, are some of the best realistic light sets that I have seen yet. It actually looks like light that gradually goes from bright to dark all in one viewing distance. A very good job!

Ketchup

A map that shows possibly the funniest bug ever found in Marathon. I found this map at Bo Lindbergs site and asked permission to post it. This map is nothing more that a visual display of what the bug is in Marathon. I personally have never seen it before. Pretty interesting and very observant to even find it!

"FALLEN ANGEL: The Chai'etra Saga, Pt 3 3

We had part one, then part two and now part three. The time that this author puts in on a map, well, it should give you some insight on just how dedicated he is to his work. AND It has paid off!! With this installment you get 8 levels. Typical of this author is that you rarely see a standard door or corner or even a wall! Detail is everywhere and you get a appreciation for it after just the first level. Puzzles are good and bugs, well, I couldn't find any. There are secrets and secret terminals. So, make sure to take your time. Great artwork and some that was very familiar to Roger Dean an...

Marathon 1984

The whole game!! With this download you get three levels of some of the best puzzles since Infinity, Megiddo and Evil. This author is not all that new of a mapmaker, but, in a very short time he has established what is now possible. I won't elaborate too much, but with the map you get a shapes patch, (rescompare). You'll enjoy the new textures, and the new scenary. I only found a couple of bugs and have notified the author. Check out the first elevator ride, the message is a new trick that I think now, will be a new marathon standard!..Get this one!!

Just Do It

A very well constructed two level solo map that will have you retracing your steps many times. No terminals, not a whole lot of detail but some great ideas along with some very good construction. This author has come a long way since his first map and make sure you take the time to send him some email. I was stuck forever on this thing before I finally found my way. It is possible to finish so keep trying and make sure that you explore EVERYWHERE. The second level is really just the end so once you get through the first, you are practically done.

Be Happy or Not 1.7

Download this map!! Four levels make up this adventure and probably the best part about it, it is designed for co-op play. You can also play it solo. I can't say enough good things about this map. I first played this when it was only for Marathon 2 back last November. The third level really intrigued me, at least to the point of going into Forge to figure out how he did the tricks. There are multiple paths to the end, some easier than others. Save terminals for the solo players. No Dead Ends! and with this Infinity update it basically improves overall game play.

Marathon Earth

The style of this author is unmatched by any map that I have seen since December of 95! This author can take basic polygonal shapes and expand on them to the point that you loose track of the fact that you are in the same geometry most of the time. A three level solo map that is designed to remind you of some earth type adventures. Level 1-Roswell-posted earlier on the hyperarchive, Level 2-Redwood Forest-some cool textures here. Level 3-Hometown USA-(dreamscape)-a complete revamp of Infinity texture sets. Some of these textures are really great!!

First Mission

A small two level solo map, well, the first level is informational only, but the second level is medium sized. The authors first map, and for a first timer not bad at all. Some common textures throughout, but some very good work with platforms and elevators. Flow isn't really great, but it is good enough to keep you playing. Just the right amount of baddies in comparison to ammo/weapons. So, for the most part this guy is on the right track. He is requesting email so please take the time to let him know. New mapmakers are always encouraged and it...

The King is Dead

This is supposed to be the authors first map and he states in the read me that he was learning Forge as he went along. Well, if this is how he learned I can only imagine what is to come from him in the future. A very good 1 level solo map that has some very good tricks and puzzles in it. I found myself going back to reread the terminals, as I thought I had done everything the level had called for. You will need to take this one slow so that you don't miss anything.

Cartho delenda est 1.3

A very, very good solo map. 2 levels that has you chasing down a missing officer and a prototype ship that the pfhor has taken. Some incredible detail with this map and some tricks that are worth seeing if for no other reason. The ship in the space landscape that lands is pretty cool. Some pretty strong bad guys and you will have to take your time. Check out the transporters.......(any more and I will spoil the map) Get this!!

Ubergaston

A two level solo map that is really not that bad considering what the author put into it. Some basic retrieve the chip ideas but the idea of the ammo and weapons given makes this really worth your time. Magnums are the name of the game and even though there is some linear layouts, stay alive!! Some haphazard construction problems-stairs that are so tight-that you will think the player doesn't fit. Keep trying you can get through. I personally don't like floor and ceiling heights that move together on stairs. Flow is pretty good and worth the download.

Moloch's Crucible

Today's best upload and the reason why there were no posts yesterday. A single level solo map that has some very good visual and construction details. You will be flippin' a bunch of switches but the flow and methodology behind it is very well laid out. The story line is good and the color touches on the aliens are done in very good taste. I won't spoil this for you, but make sure you can grenade hop. It is essential to the completion of this level. Definitely worth your time. Still couldn't figure out why the spnkr', possibly for another level in the future.

New World

The path to getting this map was quite different, but well worth it. A 5 level solo map that really is quite nice. Through the use of Anvil, you get the best of all three Marathon's. The buffers, switches, etc...are a combination of Marathon 1 thru Infinity. Almost all of the levels have good flow and there are interesting tricks on each level. Puzzles aren't too hard to figure out, and visually some really nice moments. Physics models help out on some of the levels with some ammo and weapon enhancements and at times you'll have memories of Marathon 2. (which I appreciated) Well worth your...

Marathon Roswell

A very unique solo map. This level tries to be similiar to the New Mexico desert near Roswell. The author gets pretty close, taking in the limitations of the engine. Two large main areas, the first being the desert area, the second a water area. Construction is impressive, especially on the water ride, (water area), but I lost fps in the water area due to the platforms and line of sight. The map is a repair level with terminals that aren't finished yet. A new idea with terminals that wrap around, worth the download...
