Timeline

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.

Jet Li/In the Walls

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.

Bastard Child v1.0

Originally released with Hell Hole, this map is a simpler, faster version of that legendary practice level. Straight forward carnage... keep killing till you're dead.

Dogfight Netpack 2.0

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.

Jet Li/Bob Arena, Rooftops

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 Now the rockets have been replaced by shell casings (they look like marshmallows flying at you, but they're a hell of a lot more dangerous), and there are lots of dangerous bobs.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...

The Battle Cat's World Tour v1.1

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.

Seven Pansies Prancing

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.

Unreal Weapons Set v1.0

Wishing you could play Unreal Tournament, but don't have a system that can handle it? Love Marathon, but enjoy the Unreal weapons? Dying for the Frogblast: The Ventcore Marathon-to-Unreal conversion, but not able to wait until it's finished? David Karl now brings you the Unreal weapons for Marathon.

Get Some

Wow. This one isn't new... again, it's a 1997 Conahan production that never made it into the archives... but wow. It's a training package... bobs are replaced with (damn good) pistol shooting marines, troopers are replaced with shotgun-toting marines, and cyborgs are replaced with missile-shooting marines.
