Timeline

Midnight Carnage v1.1

A huge level, mostly centered around a very large open area. Ammo is a bit scarce, given the size of this map... and due to its vast openness, it's somewhat slow on slower machines, but it should be pretty nice with mid-sized groups on fast ethernetted machines.

Villa Banzai v2.0

A conversion of one of the most beautiful M1 third-party levels ever created. This rendition is just as attractive as the original... and has the added attraction of real lava (instead of the simulated kind in M1). In fact, the biggest difference between the versions is the color scheme (the original was green, this one is brown). If you've got a fast enough machine, you HAVE to get this-that's all there is to it.

Frankenstein v1.0

A perfect example of why Bungie should never have unleashed the alien textureset on us...

Hill Billies

Sort of a cross between the third-party Circular Death and Bungie's Everyone's Mortal but Me. Faster paced than both...

Jeff's M2 Maps

7 maps. A real grab-bag... some have really annoying texture combinations, and some are quite enjoyable. (The last one is a pretty fun 5-D space kinda thing.) All maps are geared for smaller groups, although some will support more.

New Toys v1.0

Bungie's Thunderdome meets MetaTool's Goo. A pretty nice arena... comes with a physics models that makes those long shots easier to connect with.

Pits of Despair

A really nicely constructed, meticulously lit, extremely annoying level. You feel like you're in a giant honeycomb filled with lava... you can cross areas when the lava's down, but it comes back up pretty quickly... Death rates should be much higher than kill rates.

Shadows of Mordor v2.0

Looks like it was designed by a civil engineer on speed (except for the textures, when he switched to acid). This map is a sniper's dream. Well, if the sniper is good at moving... There is absolutely NO place that's safe from attack... Don't play this map if you're feeling paranoid. (I mean most of this in a good way- I don't think I've ever seen so many sniper positions in a single map. The textures, though...) Update tones the textures down a little, and adds some key strategic tweaks. Watch your back!

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.
