Timeline

Dan's Underwater Grotto of Love

Didn't find love’ but did find a decent net map here. Dan must be responsible. Large square with two sides devoted to sniper ledges or perhaps could work for KOTH. Many small squares of f the larger one for ammo, transport, hiding out. Elevator, 1x & 2x. Due to smallish size would probably be fast if opponents don’t disappear in all the rooms.

Darkness

The opening screen is so cool! Good design by these bros. No, it's not Italian, keep going! First level a stinker, tuff. Three levels altogether. Very intelligent story, Durandel & Tycho at your tab request. Comes with Shapes & Sounds patches. Nice Map, good effort by the brothers Moore.

David's Merge of Pure Enjoyment

David David David . . . How many invisible Compilers must one kill? Two levels, first one named Purgatory. Oh yeah. It's definitely Hell. More shooting gallery style. If you like to waste Compilers, invisible at that, this one's for you Marine! Blam Blam Blam

David1s Map

Entered for Bungie's Marathon Map Contest. Articulate story, three levels. Mission is somewhat unclear, but a decent layout. And all the guys are here; Tycho, Durandal, Blake. Some smearing and one area where aliens can't be decimated, be careful of getting stuck! All-in-all map maker should keep designing maps, getting better all the time, oh, one level is called "Octopus's Garden".

Death's Harbinger

BiG map here, Oval with upper ledges for sniper delight, offshoots decidedly cool! Author suggests a run-through to figure out switches, area. Off-site room, lava with a door across pool at the far end, no, don't get curious! This map would be too small for just two players, 8 would probably be just a bit too many. Set your timer on long as this is one heckava neat Net edition!

Decimate >-)

Mr. Schenk in the Read Me states he is 14. We believe it due to several factors, language is one. PG13 for sure! But watch this guy, he is working towards being a Marathon Map Maker Extrodinnaire! This is basically a "Kill all the Aliens" mission with some clever twists. Barry apparently is the AI (Barry?) and gives you clear directions. This is a large scenario with every texture, hallway, lighting, platform, large space, small area . . . you've ever seen in a Marathon game beautifully executed. Shapes patch included. It's terrific! Clever! Playable, flows, progresses.

Decon!

Originally a Map Contest entry (eons ago! We'll get back to you Chris!). Read Me uses term: 'Procrastination proliferating hooligans' aka Bungie. Wha? Bungie/Marathon (ab)users are procrastinators? Say What? Pretty good map, kids. Spectacularly large, complex, rectangle which could support as many as 8+ players, and also (definitely!) solo play. Would seem best suited for tag. Many, many, hidey holes, vast assortment of doors, passageways, stairways, hallways, you name it. 3x available, all ammo & every stripe alien working against you.

Deep Forest v1.4.6

A large arena speckled with "trees"... large platforms that provide a sniping canopy. Teleporters bring you up, and water cannons on the ground facilitate fast movement (escape or ambush). A few glitches (bouncing polys, solid transparent walls, that sort of thing), but nothing critical. Udate fixes most (all?) of the glitches. Still minimal sounds... more than there was, though.

Deeper In

Big. Really big. Lots of hallways, some dark, some not... a few large rooms to blast people in. (Most of the hallways are big enough for blasting, so they're not completely necessary, but...) Doors and elevators are quite slow, so don't count on a fast escape if you run out of ammo...
