Timeline

Carnage Island v3.0

Fast-paced, multilevel map. Ostensibly a circular arena, but most of the action occurs in narrow passageways or the small central room. Best with bigger groups. Update tweaks textures, makes it harder to take a lava bath. (Although there certainly are benefits!) V3 update: The central area is now outdoors. Readme lists other changes, but they don't really seem major in terms of gameplay...

Hadley's Hope

A small, bug-hunt-like level. There's an outer ring into which everyone must enter from their starting points. Inside that, there are a few small rooms with lots of cover... even though it's not large, you can stay alive a long time if you play it right. (Not much open space.) Inspired by the colony of the same name in Aliens.

Holodeck Waldo v2.1

Billed as the Ultimate Waldo World. There's a little that's new, but basically it's Waldo Conversion number 432...

Krylark The Demo

First level of a 5-level scenario, Krylark the Fallen. Interesting plot, but the AI can't spell worth a damn. The level is almost too difficult to bother with... lots of tight corridors filled with purple compys and tanks (nowhere to dodge projectiles, or explosions). Nice construction, though... the transparent walls in front of lava might be overdone, but there are some nice tricks. Also comes with a copy of Carnage Island (looks like version 3, but I can't be sure).

Operation: Exaggeration

A tongue-in-cheek 11-level solo effort. Inspired greatly by Douglas Adams, this map is very funny for the first several levels, at which point it suddenly turns downright mean. I stopped laughing at about level 7... and it didn't get nice again until the very end. However, it's very playable (if a bit difficult). Comes with a really fun physics model (that wouldn't make sense in most maps, but works wonderfully here). The only real gripe is the lack of alignment for all comm terms/pattern buffers. Other than that, this scenario is a blast..
