A Night in Venice

A large, sprawling level with an open space, surrounded by some simple buildings, surrounded by a moat. Plenty of ammo... but you need a big group to keep this one hopping.

Codex Atlanticus

A beautiful 3-level solo scenario, winner of the Nardo Mapmaking Contest. Bugs are minor (I got stuck on a couple of platforms, terms could use a bit of editing, just little stuff), gameplay is major. If you approach this without thinking, you're gonna die. A lot. If you plan your attacks, and figure out patterns... you're gonna have a blast. While the scenery and attention to detail is astounding (I still can't get over how gorgeous the Tempus Irae world is, and what you can do with it), don't stop and look when you get to a place... you'll die. Kill stuff first, THEN look around. (And if...

Deep Blue

A circular arena with a raised corridor around the outside. Lots of vacbobs, lots of minipfhor... and the entire place (including the raised corridor) gets flooded every minute or so. I guess there are plenty of SMGs to compensate...

Imperium

A followup to Mare Ceti and an entry into the Nardo mapmaking contest, this is a beautiful level that gets a bit ambitious in its storyline. Eye candy all around... and one of the first maps I've seen to make use of the ultra-cool tool, Cinemascope. (Whoa, too many links in one description.) Get this: it won't take you that long to finish, but it's fun.

The Mute

A gorgeous net map, second place winner in the Nardo Mapmaking Contest. Although some of it seems claustrophobic, there are several larger areas, and flow from one area to the next is quite good. Vertical angles, while steep, in no way impeded us from killing one another. The attention to detail is fantastic; if you've always wanted to die in some beautiful garden, this is the place. Check it out!

The Stadium v1.0

Originally released as part of the Some More Lh'owon, this level has been slightly modified (and retextured with Tempus Irae textures), but it is still a blast to play. Reminiscent of a classic M1 net level, Circular Death... gameplay is fast and furious. Try it out with more than 3... carnage rates will go through the roof!

Total Workout

A deceptively simple arena. There doesn't look like there is anywhere to hide... until you start playing. Author says it's designed for Tag... but carnage works well, too. Lots of open space, interesting texture usage. (Hint... it's all there for a reason.) Fits all sizes comfortably, from 2 up.

Marathon Sound Editor v1.0b6

This program will allow you to fully customize your M2/M00 sound files. Check out its web page! b5 Update allows in-place editing-you can overwrite the existing file, if you want. (Thanks, Charles!) b6 update reactivates the code to verify class IDs.

Marathon: Fell v2.0 Spoiler Guide

Fell v2.0 is a 35-level solo scenario that's wholly the work of one person. As such, it can be less accessible to the masses than a large map made by a variety of mapmakers, because if you don't think the way Ben does, you might miss a lot. To that end, Ben has put together a spoiler guide for you... which includes secrets and strategies for all levels in DocMaker format, plus a film which shows Ben playing through all of the major new levels in one shot. (Yes, it can be done.) This should help anyone who's been stuck on a particular level of Fell for any length of time. (Don't read this i...

Alien Staff Patch Update 1.0 -> 1.2

Updates the Alien Staff Patch to v1.2. (Requires the first Alien Staff Patch.) Adds better sound for the hit, reworks the frames a bit, and adds a physics model. There's still no second trigger.

Don't Feed the Juggernauts

A straighforward ring, with an inner moat guarded by juggs. Lots of ammo on the outside, bigger weapons in the moat or on the inside. Originally built for Win95.

Mir V1.0

A slick little rotating space station (contains a shapes patch to produce the rotation... don't worry, it's small). Big weapons are upstairs. (If you miss the elevators, check your map view.) And watch your back... the compilers outside can nail you if you're not looking! Might be big for 2, but should be okay for anything larger.

Quades

6 levels, sort of a wide range. Some seem to be designed for solo practice (FAR too many aliens for a reasonable net game), while others seem to be designed for net play. Flow ranges from constrictive to pretty darn good. Most are quite large... but that's not such a big deal on the solo practice levels. Worth a look.

Quades (M2)

5 levels, sort of a wide range. Some seem to be designed for solo practice (too many aliens for a reasonable net game), while others seem to be designed for net play.

Bullets Patch

Adds a spent shell casing to the firing sequence with the M1 pistol. The M2 and Infinity pistols have this... why not M1? No sound patch, so you can't hear it hitting the ground.

Marathon 5 Lunar Simulation

No baddies, no air, lots of nasty meteor showers. A nice little maze map. Careful... this ain't the moon you know.
